Nara Bhuvaneshwari launched Skill Development Centre in Kuppam

NTR Memorial Trust Managing Trustee Nara Bhuvaneshwari launched Skill Development Centre in Kuppam on Friday. The Skill Development Centre is aimed at imparting job oriented and income generating skills for women in the area.

Nara Bhuvaneshwari, the better half of CM Chandrababu Naidu, has been touring in CM’s own constituency for the past four days. Keeping up the promise she made during Assembly Elections, Nara Bhuvaneshwari launched the Skill Development Centre.

“My father NTR has always strived for the empowerment of women. NTR brought right for women in property and introduced reservations for women.

Chandrababu Naidu increased the reservations for women to 33 percent and introduced far-reaching initiatives like DWACRA, Deepam scheme and others. He has also entrusted me the responsibility of Heritage Organization. I believe that, if proper opportunities are given, women will excel in any field. To provide opportunities for Kuppam women, we have started Skill Development Centre,” said Nara Bhuvaneshwari.

Jagan Challenges AP CM’s ‘Fake Propaganda’ on State Finances

YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy held a press conference to counter allegations made by former Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu regarding Andhra Pradesh’s financial situation. Jagan Reddy accused Chandra babu Naidu of spreading misinformation and diverting attention from unfulfilled election promises.

“Chandrababu Naidu has a habit of changing the subject when faced with problems, starting from NTR’s backstabbing,” Reddy stated. He suggested that Naidu’s recent claims about the state’s finances were an attempt to avoid presenting the budget and escape accountability for election promises.

Reddy urged the media to accurately report his statements, countering Naidu’s claim that Andhra Pradesh’s debt has reached Rs 14 lakh crore. He accused AP CM of misleading the public and even influencing the Governor to cite an inflated figure of Rs 10 lakh crore in his speech.

Citing CAG and RBI documents, Reddy presented what he called the “exact loan amount” of the state:

– As of June, Andhra Pradesh’s debt was Rs 5,18,000 crore, up from Rs 2,71,000 crore at the end of Naidu’s term.
– Government-guaranteed debts increased from Rs 50,000 crore at the end of Naidu’s term to Rs 1,06,000 crore under Reddy’s administration.
– Including power sector liabilities, the total rose from Rs 86,215 crore to Rs 1,23,467 crore.

Jagan Reddy stated that the total debt at the end of his term was Rs 7,48,000 crore, compared to Rs 4,08,000 crore when he took office. He highlighted that the compound annual growth rate of liabilities decreased from 21.63% under Naidu to 12.90% during his tenure.

The YSRCP leader also cited the Central Economic Survey, which reportedly praised the state government’s financial management. According to Jagan Reddy, the survey noted, “State governments continued to improve their finances. Gross fiscal deficit has been lowered to Rs 9.1 lakh crore. Quality spending by the state government has improved.”

YS Jagan Reddy claimed that as per a statement in the Rajya Sabha, Andhra Pradesh’s debt by March 2024 would be Rs 4,85,000 crore. He also pointed out that the state’s share in central taxes as a percentage of GSDP decreased from 3.72% during Chandra babu Naidu’s regime to 2.92% under YSRCP, attributing the drop to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In closing, Jagan Reddy noted that when he took office as Chief Minister, the state revenue was only Rs 100 crore, but it now ranges between Rs 7,000 crore to Rs 8,000 crore.

Investigation into Pinnelli’s Activities

Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy first gained notoriety outside his constituency when he destroyed EVM and VVPAT machines at the Palvaigate polling station. As his illegal activities came to light and following the change in government, the TDP has begun cracking down on his unlawful operations across the state.

One of his recent alleged crimes involves land grabbing. The government has received complaints against the Pinnelli brothers regarding their land acquisitions in the Macharla constituency. In response, authorities have ordered an SIT investigation. The Pinnelli brothers stand accused of extensive land grabs during their time in power. Many victims, previously afraid to speak out under the YSRCP government, have come forward with complaints since the recent election results.

Allegations suggest that the Pinnelli brothers have seized nearly 5,000 acres around the Macherla constituency, including 2,000 acres in Macherla Mandal and 500 acres in Durgi Mandal. There are also claims that Pinnelli’s followers have taken valuable temple lands.

In light of these allegations, the vigilance department has launched an investigation. It seems the time has come for YSRCP leaders to face scrutiny for any criminal activities conducted during their regime, as the new TDP government appears determined to address all irregularities.

Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy took to X (formerly Twitter) to condemn the TDP government, labeling it as a “demonic rule.” He claimed that people’s lives are at risk and accused the TDP of committing atrocities in the state with the sole intention of suppressing the YSRCP.

But when he went there, there were sheep, goats, chickens, birds, plants and trees to be covered. He said he could not water all these and sought some helper. The owner did not care for him, he said.

As the days passed, it had become very difficult for him to work and satisfy the owner. The bore and the motor also did not work and the owner never got them repaired. Still, he was asked to water the plants, trees, birds, goats and sheep, he said.

“I was not given drinking water there by the owner. He asked me to drink the water in the well, which was too hot,” Siva said. He further said that life had become unbearable for him as he was also asked to sleep outside. The weather there was too hot and he could not sleep outside, he said.

Under these circumstances, he posted a video on social media requesting people to help him. The video reached minister Lokesh.

Atchennaidu takes charge as agriculture minister

K Atchennaidu took charge as the minister for Agriculture, cooperation, marketing, animal husbandry, and fisheries at Velagapudi secretariat on Friday. He took charge as the vedic scholars chanted hymns and performed poojar in his chamber.

The minister signed on a new scheme, Polam Pilustondi, meaning farmland calling. The scheme would be rolled out on July 23 across the state. Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu would launch the programme.

Agriculture is given highest priority in the NDA government, he said and added that the government would keep interacting with the farmers.

He came down heavily on the previous YSR Congress government for neglecting the agriculture sector. He said that the successive agriculture ministers did not meet the farmers even once in five years.

Agriculture market yards were also neglected in the last five years, the minister said. He said that the entire agriculture, marketing and cooperative sectors were ignored by the YSR Congress government. The present government was working on restoring the departments and restoring the contact points for the officials and the farmers.

The present NDA government would be a source of strength for the farmers, Atchennaidu said. He said that the officials would visit the farmers at the house and the farm as well and give valuable suggestions on the cultivation. The soil tests would also be taken up on a regular basis, the minister said.

Mangalagiri police arrest those attacked TDP office

The Mangalagiri police have arrested three accused in the attack on the TDP headquarters at Mangalagiri in 2021. The supporters of YSR Congress MLC Lella Appi Reddy have barged into the TDP office on October 10, 2021 and destroyed the furniture in the office. They attacked the TDP workers inside the office and caused injuries to them.

The police took the video footage of the incident. They examined the video footage and identified several people. The latest identification was about Lanka Abbinaidu, Tiyyagura Gopi Reddy and Jinka Sathyam. The three accused were arrested and sent to judicial remand. The police have already arrested five persons in this case.

The police say that majority of the attackers are from Guntur district only. The police are identifying the accused using the video footage.

The TDP lodged a complaint with the Mangalagiri police after the TDP-led NDA government was formed in the state. The TDP alleged that the supporters of Appi Reddy and Devineni Avinash were responsible for the attack. They also wanted the case to be booked against Appi Reddy and Avinash.

Meanwhile, the activists who attacked the TDP office have gone underground to avoid arrest. Some of them are in touch with the TDP leaders to join the party. They are sending messages to the TDP leaders in their areas to take them into the party.

The police said that they would arrest everyone in the incident. Once all the accused are arrested, they would present the case in the court, the police said. The police are yet to identify the accused in the incident.

There were about 500 workers who participated in the attack on the day. Identification of these 500 workers might take a couple of months for the police.

YSR Congress govt did not paint Assembly building, says Speaker

Andhra Pradesh assembly speaker Chintakayala Ayyannapathrudu on Friday said that the previous YSR Congress government did not paint even the Assembly building once in five years. He said that the government did not even care for the maintenance of the building.

Speaking to the media persons at the Assembly on the day, Ayyannapathrudu said that he had asked the government to complete the MLA, MLC and ministers’ residential quarters in Amaravati. These buildings would be completed on a war footing, he said.

Amaravati would be one of the top cities in the country and would be a global destination, the speaker said. He further added that the buildings would also look as iconic and would be special for the visitors to see. He said that he had inspected the MLAs residential quarters and interacted with the officials. He told them to complete the quarters at the earliest.

He said that the MLA and MLCs residential quarters would require an investment of Rs 380 crore. They would take at least nine months to be completed, the speaker said. He expressed confidence that the officials would complete the buildings as per schedule.

The construction work was too fast between 2014 and 2019, he said and regretted that the YSR Congress government did not lay even a brick between 2019 and 2024. He said that people have taught a fitting lesson to the YSR Congress for neglecting Amaravati.

Ayyannapathrudu said that Amaravati had been the sentiment of the people of Andhra Pradesh. The Telugu-speaking people across the world loved Amaravati and have invested in Amaravati. They suffered financially and psychologically during the YSR Congress regime as the government did not make any move to construct the capital city.

He said that people have invested more and the farmers have given their lands to the government. The farmers of Amaravati have also fought with the government for development of Amaravati for the past five years. Their dreams have come true with the victory of the TDP-led NDA government in the state, the speaker said.

Show the difference in governance, Naidu tells officials

Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday told the officials to show the difference in governance from the previous YSR Congress to the present NDA. He held a review meeting with the officials on roads, sand and essential commodities at the Velagapudi secretariat.

Ali’s Political Retirement: A Result of Closed Doors from TDP and Jana Sena

Ali’s Goodbye to YSRCP:

Popular Tollywood comedian Ali, who had been a supporter of YSR Congress Party president and former Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, has announced his resignation from the party. He recently released a video stating that he will now focus on his career in movies and television and step away from politics. This decision marks a significant shift for Ali, who has been actively involved in politics for several years.

Previous Tensions with Jana Sena

In 2019, Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan criticized Ali in Rajahmundry for joining the YSRC despite receiving a ticket from Jana Sena. Ali responded sharply to Pawan, pointing out that, unlike Pawan who had the support of Chiranjeevi, Ali had to make his way in the industry. He founded a charitable trust and helped people of all communities in Rajahmundry. Ali argued that while Pawan’s career was taking off, he had already established himself. Ali questioned Pawan’s support claims, noting he had never received a role in Pawan’s films or financial assistance. However, these statements were perceived as arrogance by many Telugu people.

What did he get in YSRCP:

Furthermore, despite his support for the YSRCP, Ali did not receive an MLA or MP ticket in any election. Instead, he was appointed to an insignificant post as an electronic media advisor. This move alienated many of his supporters, who viewed him as a traitor to Pawan Kalyan during a crucial period in his political career.

Speculations and Rumors: No Open Doors for Ali in TDP and JSP

Following Ali’s announcement of his political retirement, rumors began to circulate that he might join the TDP or Jana Sena in the future, especially since the YSRCP suffered a significant defeat in the 2024 elections. However, sources indicate that both the TDP and Jana Sena have closed their doors to Ali, leaving him with no viable political options. This lack of support likely influenced his decision to retire from politics entirely.

Ali’s resignation from the YSR Congress Party and his decision to retire from politics appear to be the result of the closed doors from TDP and Janasena. At the same time, with no significant role within the YSRCP, Ali has decided to return to his roots in the entertainment industry. We need to wait and see if he will become busy in movies and regain his old glory.

Jagan caused more damage than bifurcation, says Naidu

Jagan caused more damage than bifurcation, says Naidu

Former chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy had become a curse on Andhra Pradesh, said chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu. Releasing a white paper on Polavaram project at Amaravati on Friday, Chandrababu Naidu said that Jagan Mohan Reddy had destroyed the Polavaram Project.

The chief minister said that the TDP government had completed 72 per cent of the project works between 2014 and 2019, while Jagan Mohan Reddy government completed just 4 per cent of the works. Similarly, the TDP government had spent Rs 11,762 crore while Jagan Mohan Reddy government spent Rs 4,167 crore between 2019 and 2024, Chandrababu Naidu said.

The diaphragm wall was damaged in the 2020 floods as the government did not complete the works on spillway and change of contractor. Jagan Mohan Reddy had changed the contractor and it took more than 10 months to resume the works. There was a gap of work with the new contractor, he said. We have told Jagan Mohan Reddy not to change the contractor as that would cause damage to the project. However, Jagan Mohan Reddy did not care and had changed the contractor, Chandrababu Naidu said.

Even the Central government had advised Jagan Mohan Reddy not to change the contractor. But Jagan Mohan Reddy went ahead with the change of the contractor causing damage to the diaphragm wall as the spillway was not completed. The upper and lower copper dams were not completed to stand by the diaphragm wall, he said.

He said that they have spent Rs 439 crore to construct the diaphragm wall in 2018. The repairs now would require Rs 447 crore, he said. If the new diaphragm wall is to be constructed, it would cost Rs 990 crore, he said.

Chandrababu Naidu also said that Jagan Mohan Reddy had diverted Rs 3,385 crore from the Polavaram project. If Jagan Mohan Reddy did not change the contractor, the project would have been completed by 2020, he said.

He had studied the project now and would soon take up the issue with the Central government. He said he had to lobby with the Central government to begin the project works.

No revenge politics in Andhra Pradesh, says Anitha

AP Home Minister Vangalapudi Anitha on Thursday said that they were not pursuing revenge politics in the state. She said that they would have started the revenge politics on the day they took the oath.

She addressed the media after a meeting with the senior police officials in Velagapudi on the day. She said that they were trying to set the department in order. Previous government had used the police only for security purposes and to arrest the opposition leaders. She asserted that this government would use the department for implementation of law and order.

The previous government had booked several cases against the opposition leaders. Even she had 23 cases filed against her. She said that she would speak to chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu and take a decision on the fake police cases filed against the TDP leaders across the state in the last five years.

The previous government had also failed to construct a police academy. Though the Central government had given funds, the previous government did not construct the police academy. The government also did not construct the greyhounds academy in the state. Several police stations have no furniture and no permanent buildings, she said.

The escort vehicles are also not in condition, she said. The department was using the vehicles provided during 2014 and 2019, she said. The previous government did not take interest in providing vehicles, and infrastructure to the police department, she said. She would review and ensure that every police station has permanent buildings and infrastructure.

The Home Minister further said that she would take steps to stop ganja cultivation and transportation in the state. In the last five years, ganja was cultivated in the state on a large scale and it was transported to other states, she said. The ganja and drugs from Andhra Pradesh were caught in several states in the country in the last five years, she said. The police department would keep an eye on the ganja and drugs transportation in the state, she asserted.

The present government would also make the police as people friendly. She said that people would get their respect at the police stations. People’s problems are also solved with great respect, she said.
