Chief Minister

stressed that the “resources created will be used for improving the lives of the underprivileged.” Additionally, he confirmed that the P4 program has been initiated with the aim of eliminating poverty, focusing on enhancing the quality of life for individuals.

On Tuesday, the Chief Minister took part in a community service initiative aimed at supporting those less fortunate in the Parchur constituency.

The district head made personal visits to the homes of those receiving benefits, handing out pensions and checking on their living situations. Following this, he spoke at a gathering with the local community.

The Chief Minister highlighted that some individuals derive satisfaction from pushing buttons, yet these actions are essentially comparable to the government-provided pensions. He urged citizens to challenge those engaging in baseless criticism, according to an official statement.

“The Telugu Desam Party remains robust due to the support of backward classes. For 43 years, the party’s banner has been upheld by marginalized communities. Despite facing threats, they have remained steadfast and battled bravely,” he noted.

He guaranteed that he would assume responsibility for enhancing the economic, social, and political standing of backward communities.

remembered how the former administration’s incompetence had severely damaged the state, resulting in a debt of Rs 10 lakh crore. Even so, he vowed to proceed with social programs and progress initiatives while simultaneously addressing both the principal and the interest payments.

“And the BJP aims to reconstruct the state. We are progressing by fulfilling all the commitments we made,” he stated firmly.

“I take personal charge by leading from the forefront, and each month I actively participate in overseeing pension distributions,” he stated.

It is the sole state in India that allocates Rs 33,100 crore yearly for pension payments to 63 lakh recipients.

“I am the person responsible for increasing the pension from Rs 200 to Rs 2,000. In line with our electoral commitment, we have boosted it even higher to Rs 4,000. We provideRs 10,000 to dialysis patients and Rs 15,000 to those who are immobile. Under our governance, pensions are disbursed on the first day of each month, akin to how employees’ salaries are paid out,” he emphasized.

The Chief Minister highlighted that for certain individuals, pension payments can exceed regular salaries. While the former administration withheld pensions from those who moved for employment, the current NDA-led government allows them to receive pensions after just three months.

“Approximately 93,324 individuals who failed to claim their pensions for two successive months could have resulted in a governmental savings of Rs 74 crores. Nevertheless, with an emphasis on safeguarding the financial well-being of those in need, we are making sure these payments remain uninterrupted,” he stated. Additionally, he highlighted the plan to initiate widow pensions right after her spouse’s death and adopting technological advancements in pension disbursement to enhance effectiveness.

Chief Minister announced the revival of Amaravati’s capital city construction, promising to restore its glory within four years. “Polavaram project is progressing rapidly and will be completed by 2027, paving the way for river interlinking,” he said.

The administration has established more than 200 Anna Canteens aimed at providing food to those in need. Additionally, he emphasized major initiatives such as an investment of Rs 11,000 crores for the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant and the creation of a new railway zone in Visakhapatnam.

“Improving infrastructure is our main focus. The roads that have been neglected for the past five years are finally getting repaired, and before long, they will be smoother than glass,” he noted.

This month, the government plans to release the Mega DSC notification and finalize all teacher appointments by June, he confirmed. Additional major efforts encompass repealing the Land Titling Act, initiating ‘Thalli Ki Vandanam’ in May, and supplying three complimentary LPG canisters each year as part of the ‘Deepam 2’ program.

Under the ‘Annadata Sukhibhava’ initiative, farmers will get Rs 20,000 in financial support, while fishermen will also receive Rs 20,000 as aid this month.

For 47 years, the people have bestowed their blessings upon me. During this time, I served for nine years as Chief Minister in a unified state.

, having spent ten years as an opposition leader, I am currently in my sixth year as Chief Minister in the recently established state.

“This distinction has been bestowed upon me by the people, which is quite an uncommon honor,” he stated.

I envision a community free from poverty, with wealth spread evenly rather than hoarded by a select few. The P4 program motivates the wealthiest tenth of people to willingly assist the poorest fifth of families.

Those offering help will be recognized as mentors, with those receiving support being elevated to the status of ‘Golden Families.’ None among us is inherently superior; notable figures such as NTR, Ambedkar, and Abdul Kalam achieved their prominence through dedication and effort. Additionally, we commit to ensuring each household within the state enjoys access to homes, pensions, clean drinking water, electrical power, sanitary amenities, proper drainage systems, and internet services,” he stated.

The Chief Minister praised philanthropists Vikram Narayana Rao and Vasantha Srinivasa Rao for taking under their care 15 families each and guaranteeing their well-being.

The Chief Minister commended MLA Eluri Sambasiva Rao for his initiatives in fostering development within Parchur and pledged complete governmental backing for establishing shipbuilding and ship repair facilities in the constituency.

The initiatives encompass updating the Nagarjuna Sagar Canal, building a new NCP office, enhancing community centers, burial grounds, and water drainage infrastructures, as well as assigning Rs 9.10 crore for a dual carriageway linking the National Highway to Valaparla Industrial Park. Additionally, the administration has granted Rs 5 crore for acquiring land needed for the Kommur Canal project and endorsed plans for establishing fresh farm produce markets.

While visiting Kottagollapalem, Chief Minister Naidu encountered Vaddlamudi Subhashini, who has special needs, and promised her family prompt assistance with pensions and housing. During a conversation with her sister Bharani, when asked what she aspired to be, Bharani mentioned wanting to join the police force. The Chief Minister responded jovially, “Are you interested in becoming a police officer just to rough up people?” He then motivated her to focus on safeguarding citizens rather than enforcing laws.

When he found out that Bharani’s family was facing difficulties with educational costs, he instructed the authorities to enroll her in Kasturba Gandhi School.

During yet another visit, the Chief Minister met with Bathula Jalamma, a widowed beneficiary whose home was in deplorable condition. This deeply affected him, leading him to approve funding for a new residence, a gas connection, and additional monetary aid via the BC Corporation. Upon inquiring about her son’s educational status, she informed him that he had left school after completing tenth grade.

“Why do you doubt your ability to study? If we had doubted ourselves, could we have achieved success?” the CM motivated. “Believing in your capacity to learn is essential; there’s so much more to life beyond tending sheep. Set your sights higher,” he counseled. (ANI)
