Land worth Rs 52,000 crore distributed among poor, says Andhra Pradesh CM

Digital Desk | Vijayawada, Sep 30 (IANS) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said on Wednesday that the state government has distributed land worth Rs 52,000 crore to the poor. He distributed house-site regularisation pattas to 26,000 families in Vijayawada under the Pedalaku Pattabhishekam programme. CM Naidu stated that, moved by the hardships the poor have faced for decades, the government decided to grant them rights on their land. We distributed land titles to 28,000 people in Visakhapatnam, 5,800 families in Mangalagiri, and now to 26,000 families in Vijayawada. I consider it my good fortune to distribute land titles to a total of 60,000 poor people, he said. He stated that the value of the land being distributed in Vijayawada stands at Rs 28,112 crore; on average, each beneficiary has received a plot of 130 square yards. The value of each plot ranges from Rs 50 lakh to Rs 2 crore. This is the 'coronation' of the poor's self-respect by the coalition government, he said. He claimed that the coalition government was fulfilling every promise made during the elections. The 'double-engine government' in Andhra Pradesh is forging ahead, implementing development programmes at jet speed. We have put the statewhich suffered five years of destruction under the previous administrationback on track, and we will support every family facing difficulties, he said. Naidu recalled that food, shelter, and clothing for the poor was the slogan of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) founder and former Chief Minister N. T. Rama Rao. He alleged that between 2019 and 2024, the then YSRCP government created property disputes in every household. They even placed their own photographs on the land title passbooks. Problems were created through the Land Titling Act. The coalition government is conducting a re-survey of all lands in the state and issuing Pattadar passbooks bearing the official state emblem, he said. The TDP chief alleged that the previous government spent Rs 800 crore just to paint images on survey stones. He claimed that the government was striving to establish a new system that is free from disputes. We are prioritising various initiatives to ensure the continuous cycle of welfare, development, and wealth creation. We have already spent Rs 1.50 lakh crore on development works. Stating that development and welfare are the two eyes of the coalition government. The Chief Minister remarked that development is essential for future wealth creation. He vowed to complete 36 irrigation projects at a cost of Rs 35,000 crore over the next three years. By the time of the 2028 Krishna Pushkaralu, we will have abundant water from the Krishna and Godavari rivers, he added.

Chandrababu Naidu calls for revolutionary changes in governance system

Digital Desk | Vijayawada, Sep 29 (IANS) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday called for revolutionary changes in the governance system and institutions to meet the aspirations of people and harness the opportunities offered by emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence. He stressed the need for integration of technology, leadership and policies, upgrading skills, universities and innovation for good governance to win the confidence of people. Addressing the Mission Karmayogi workshop organised by the Capacity Building Commission in Vijayawada, the Chief Minister said the next 20 years would be crucial for India's development and urged government employees to continuously upgrade their skills through capacity-building programmes. He stated that India had immense opportunities, advanced technologies, talented youth and growing aspirations. The key challenge is to strengthen governance systems and institutions to fulfil these aspirations, he said. He cited Prime Minister Narendra Modi's journey from a tea vendor at a railway station to the country's Prime Minister as a prominent example of capacity building. The Chief Minister said Prime Minister Modi had launched the iGOTMission Karmayogi initiative through the Capacity Building Commission to ensure continuous skill development among government employees. The online training platform enables officials and employees to upgrade their capabilities regularly. He stressed that government employees, from the State level to the grassroots, must undergo continuous training to deliver quality public services. Naidu congratulated the Andhra Pradesh government machinery for completing two crore courses through the iGOT Karmayogi portal, which helped the State secure the top position in capacity building. He said technology, administrative procedures and coordination among government departments must be integrated to improve the quality of public services. Continuous information-sharing between departments would enable faster decision-making and help identify and resolve problems before they develop into crises. The Chief Minister highlighted the crucial role of government employees in responding to natural disasters, organising festivals and implementing major public programmes. He appreciated their dedication to public service, often at the cost of time with their families, and said their contributions should never be overlooked. Andhra Pradesh has secured first place nationally in capacity building among government employees, in recognition of its performance under the Mission Karmayogi initiative. Chief Minister Naidu presented the award to Finance Department Principal Secretary Piyush Kumar and AP State Development Planning Society Executive Director Alaparthi Venkateswara Rao. The Chief Minister also presented awards to Karnataka, which secured second place and Odisha, which stood third, for their performance in capacity building. Radha Chauhan, Chairperson, Capacity Building Commission, said that in the era of advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence, there is a need to further enhance the capabilities of government officials. She noted that Nagarik Devo Bhava (treating the citizen as divine) has become a core guiding principle for both Central and State governments. Government employees need to align their conduct, administrative capabilities, performance, and skills with this principle. She said public sector organisations responsible for training government officials and employees are conducting initiatives like 'Unnati' through the Capacity Building Commission. She stated that regional workshops like these provide an opportunity to exchange best practices and enhance capabilities.

Andhra Pradesh: Jagan Mohan Reddy condemns police cane charge on village, ward secretariat employees in Vijayawada

Digital Desk | Vijayawada, Sep 28 (IANS) Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and YSR Congress Party President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has condemned the police cane charge on the village and ward secretariat employees protesting here in support of their demands. Taking to his official X account on Sunday, Jagan Mohan Reddy said that brutal assault by the N. Chandrababu Naidu-led Andhra Pradesh government on village and ward secretariat employees is 'utterly inhuman'. He urged Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu to immediately order a judicial inquiry into the cane charge, apologise to the employees and unconditionally revoke all the suspensions imposed on them. The police cane-charge on government employees is an extremely serious matter. When the government is unwilling to hold talks with them over their demands, how can raising their voices through a democratic protest be treated as a crime? Will you beat them with lathis merely for speaking out? Will you show no consideration even for women employees, injure them and drag them away? Who gave you the right to attack peaceful protesters? Will you intercept employees travelling to participate in the dharna, detain them in police stations and subject them to torment? Is it not atrocious to indiscriminately suspend a large number of employees simply to prevent them from participating in the protest? Jagan Mohan Reddy asked. Mr. Chandrababu Naidu Garu, is this democracy? Your authoritarianism is growing with each passing day. How can you assume that you can get away with anything merely because you are in power? Mr. Chandrababu Naidu, from the very first day you assumed office, you have pursued a vendetta against the village and ward secretariats that our government introduced as a revolutionary administrative reform unparalleled anywhere in the country. You have relentlessly targeted the village and ward secretariatswhich are our brainchild and delivered more than 540 services at the grassrootsas well as the volunteer system, with the clear objective of dismantling them. You have continuously conspired to erase the very spirit of Gram Swaraj, the YSRCP Chief said. He claimed that a single notification, YSRCP government had created 1.34 lakh permanent jobsan unprecedented initiative in the country's historyalong with another 2.6 lakh positions under the volunteer system to ensure transparent governance at the village and ward levels. However, under the pretext of rationalisation, your (Telugu Desam Party-led state) government has placed nearly 30,000 permanent jobs at risk. You also made false promises that the Rs 5,000 honorarium paid to volunteers by our (previous YSRCP) government would be increased to Rs 10,000, only to betray them after coming to power. You have now shifted the services previously delivered by volunteers onto secretariat employees, burdening them with an unbearable workload. In the process, you have brought transparency and doorstep delivery of governance to an end. Unable to withstand the hardships, harassment and pressure imposed by your atrocious administration, nearly 100 employees have lost their lives over the past two-and-a-half yearssome due to severe stress and others by suicide. When they are enduring such immense hardship and your government has no intention of listening to their grievances, how can it be wrong for them to raise their voices through a peaceful protest, Mr Chandrababu Naidu? Jagan Mohan Reddy asked. The former Chief Minister told CM Chandrababu Naidu that it is not only village and ward secretariat employees who are taking to the streets. Employees from every section are protesting because you made promises to them in your manifesto and betrayed them after coming to power. You promised Interim Relief (IR) and a Pay Revision Commission (PRC) immediately upon assuming office. But there is neither IR nor PRC. You removed the PRC Chairman appointed by our (previous YSRCP) government. Five Dearness Allowance (DA) instalments that employees are rightfully entitled to remain pending. It was only after employees took to the streets that you (CM Chandrababu Naidu) announced the release of two DA instalments, and even then, you deferred payment of the arrears. Surrender-leave payments also remain pending. Your (Telugu Desam Party) government owes employees nearly Rs 40,000 crore. In addition to all this, you are now victimising village and ward secretariat employees and imposing an unbearable workload on them, Jagan Mohan Reddy added.

YSRCP accuses Andhra coalition govt of unleashing reign of terror

Digital Desk | Tadepalli (Andhra Pradesh), Sep 23 (IANS) YSR Congress Party has accused the TDP-led coalition government in Andhra Pradesh of unleashing what it called a reign of terror to silence the voices questioning it. It alleged that the false cases filed against opposition leaders and cadre show how democracy is being undermined in the state. Speaking to the media at the YSRCP Central office here on Wednesday, Party Legal Cell President Manohar Reddy alleged that there is a jungle raj in the state, with TDP goons attacking unemployed youth and YSRCP leaders at the Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh (SAAP) office and the task force conducting raids and terrorising family members. It is appalling that old cases are reopened against MLC Thalasila Raghuram and Devineni Avinash, which shows the vindictive intent of the government, he said. All this is being done with the conspiracy to deny YSRCP leaders the opportunity to contest the ensuing local body elections, with rowdy sheets being opened at their whim, and unmindful of the fact that there are numerous cases against Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan and Education Minister Lokesh. All those involved in the vindictive politics of filing false cases against the Opposition will have to face the consequences in the coming days, he said. The remarks of Chandrababu Naidu at the Kuppam meeting, even before the friction began at the SAAP office, show the conspiracy angle to the orchestrated attack on YSRCP activists, unemployed youth, which includes differently-abled people. The state should focus on investigating the irregularities in the DSC and how the sports quota was manipulated instead of targeting the Opposition, he said, adding that as the coalition has no answer to the pointed questions raised, it is resorting to false cases and using police to silence the voice of dissent. YSRCP has been demanding the resignation of Education Minister Lokesh and a CBI inquiry into the alleged irregularities in the appointment of teachers. The Opposition party on September 21 organised a protest at the office of the Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh in Vijayawada to press for its demands.
