Naidu asks ministers to take NDA achievements to people

Vijayawada: Chief minister Chandrababu Naidu has directed all cabinet ministers to intensify their outreach programmes and take the achievements of the NDA govt to the people across the state. Chairing the cabinet meeting on Thursday, Naidu asked ministers to undertake extensive district tours and explain the reforms, welfare initiatives and development programmes implemented during the last two years.The chief minister instructed ministers to submit a comprehensive report on their district visits by June 28, detailing public interactions, feedback received, and measures taken to address local issues. He stressed the need for continuous engagement with people to ensure that the benefits of govt programmes are effectively communicated at the grassroots level.Naidu observed that the opposition was deliberately spreading misinformation and attempting to create a false narrative against the govt. He said an effective public campaign was required to counter such propaganda and present facts before the people. “The people should know what this govt has achieved in a short span. Andhra Pradesh has regained investor confidence and attracted major investments across sectors. Industrial projects, data centres, green energy initiatives, and infrastructure works are advancing rapidly. Welfare pensions have been streamlined, public services have become more transparent, and governance has been strengthened through technology-driven initiatives,” Naidu told the ministers.The chief minister said the state had successfully revived economic activity, accelerated capital city Amaravati and Polavaram works, ports and industrial corridors and restored confidence among entrepreneurs and investors. He noted that the govt was focusing equally on wealth creation and welfare, ensuring sustainable development while protecting the interests of farmers, women, youth and weaker sections.Naidu also highlighted the progress achieved in education, skill development and employment generation initiatives. He urged ministers to explain how the govt was working to transform Andhra Pradesh into a hub for investments, manufacturing, technology and services. He said that the opposition YSRCP tried to create controversy about teachers’ recruitment (DSC) with false allegations but made a retreat after the strong rebuttal by the govt. He explained that the NDA govt had filled up nearly 16000 teacher posts in a transparent manner, while YSRCP could not fill even a single post during its five-year rule.Calling for a coordinated effort, Naidu asked ministers to actively engage with the public, local representatives and party cadres during their tours and effectively communicate the govt’s achievements while exposing the opposition’s misinformation campaign.
