Congress-NDA row over video clip of interruption to FM Sitharaman's speech in Andhra Pradesh
Digital Desk | Amaravati, Oct 4 (IANS) A political row broke out between Congress and NDA on Sunday after a clip of brief interruption to the Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's speech at Madanapalle on October 2 and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu's intervention to calm the crowd went viral on social media. A user on social media platform X posted the clip of 30-second interruption to Finance Minister Sitharaman's speech with the claim that the crowd was demanding jobs and Congress leader Jairam Ramesh reposted the same with his remark that it reflects the public anger. Nirmala Sitharaman, Chandrababu Naidu and other Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leaders were quick to counter Jairam Ramesh and claimed that it was the overwhelming and enthusiastic response of the party workers. The Union Finance Minister was speaking at the launch of the Global Horticulture Hub at Madanapalle in Annamayya district when a section of the audience began shouting. Speaking in Telugu, Sitharaman appealed to them to listen her for a minute. When the crowd continued shouting, she stepped aside. At this stage, CM Chandrababu Naidu took the mike and told the crowd that Sitharaman's message at programme that would change Rayalaseema farmers' lives was important. The Chief Minister also told audience that after the programme, he and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan would step out and that they could make whatever slogans they want. Former Union Minister Jairam Ramesh reposted the clip posted by a user on X with the claim that people were demanding jobs. The Finance Minister (Nirmala Sitharaman) herself is seeing how much anger there is among the public. The Chief Minister had to silence the people, the Congress leader Ramesh said. Nirmala Sitharaman, in her swift reaction to the Congress leader's post, called his interpretation unbelievable. Unbelievable, Jairam. Didn't think you were impetuous. Both TDP and Jana Sena workers were keen on interacting with their leaders Chandrababu Naidu garu and Pawan Kalyan garu. CM Chandrababu Naidu said that after the programme they would come out and interact. That was all there is to it, Sitharaman said. Chandrababu Naidu also reacted to Jairam Ramesh's post, saying his interpretation of what happened could not be further from reality. What you are trying to falsely portray as public anger was, in fact, an overwhelming and enthusiastic response from the people. The sheer enthusiasm of the gathering required me to intervene briefly so that the programme could continue smoothly. To mistake people's enthusiasm for anger only reveals how disconnected you are from the mood of the people of Andhra Pradesh and Bharat alike. Politically motivated social media narratives cannot change what people themselves felt and expressed! the TDP Chief said. Chaos in Rayalaseema: On stage, CM Chandrababu Naidu, Pawan Kalyan, Anant Ambani. Finance Minister's words: Listen to what she said, public retorts: Give jobs first! City slogans, hootinghad to stop the Finance Minister's speech. Chandrababu Naidu had to stand up and sayStay calm! Even in the 1 lakh crore project, the employment question weighs heavy. Now the public has awakened, questioning for their rights. Will the Horticulture Hub bring jobs to Rayalaseema's youth, or just more speeches? Ramesh said on X. Minister of State for Rural Development, Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani, termed Jairam Ramesh's claim 'totally baseless'. The crowd was cheering, and CM Chandrababu Naidu Garu was only maintaining order so FM Nirmala Sitharaman Garu could speak smoothly. Spinning public excitement into anger just to build a fake narrative is distasteful. We don't expect such blatant misinformation from a senior leader like you (referring to Jairam Ramesh). Please verify facts before tweeting, the TDP leader said.

YSRCP slams Naidu govt for failing to complete houses started by Jagan
Digital Desk | Tadepalli (Andhra Pradesh) Oct 4 (IANS) YSR Congress Party Ponnur constituency coordinator Ambati Murali Krishna on Sunday criticised the TDP-led coalition government in Andhra Pradesh for failing to complete houses started during Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddys tenure. He said the government should finish these houses before claiming credit for providing homes to the poor. He stated that during Jagans tenure, the government provided house sites to 31.19 lakh families and established 17,005 YSR Jagananna Colonies. It sanctioned 22,80,358 houses and completed more than nine lakh houses, Murali Krishna said. He alleged that the present government had not built a single new house in the past two and a half years and had left around 11 lakh houses at different stages of construction unfinished. He alleged that the TDP filed more than 1,000 court cases to stop the distribution of house-site pattas. Jagan went to the Supreme Court and secured relief to distribute them, he said. In Amaravati, the government went to court over pattas for 50,000 poor families and later cancelled them, denying those families a place to live, he alleged. Murali Krishna also asked why the states drought situation was not raised at a meeting attended by Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. Of the states 688 mandals, 388 have been declared drought-affected, including mandals in Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidus constituency, Kuppam. He demanded answers on minimum support prices for paddy, cotton, maize, red gram, green gram and black gram. Responding to Minister Nadendla Manohars call for an inquiry into alleged housing irregularities, Murali Krishna said YSRCP was ready for any investigation. He challenged the government to also investigate the rice issue in Kakinada. He said YSRCP was not opposing local body elections but wanted accurate voter lists, with clarity on deceased voters and bogus votes. With farmers struggling to get fair prices and welfare payments declining, he said rural economies were under strain and needed the governments attention.

Pilot project to build houses using 3D printing technology launched in Andhra
Digital Desk | Amaravati, Oct 4 (IANS) Union Rural Development Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu on Sunday launched a pilot project to construct houses using 3D concrete printing technology. At a programme held at Burripalem in Tenali Mandal of Guntur district, they also laid the foundation stone for the construction of 3 lakh houses across Andhra Pradesh. A total of 117 houses will be built using 3D concrete technology at Burripalem and Obulanayudupalem at a cost of Rs 14 crore. Central Building Research Institute (CBRI) officials briefed them on the construction of 3D-printed houses planned for rural and urban areas. Officials said that a house can be constructed in just 10 days using 3D printing technology. They stated that the 177 houses being built under the pilot project would be completed within six months. In his remarks on the occasion, Chouhan announced that another 3 lakh houses will be sanctioned before the construction of the currently undertaken 3 lakh houses is even completed. I assure you that an additional 3 lakh houses will also be allocated to Andhra Pradesh. The Government of India, under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, stands in support of Andhra Pradesh's development, he said. The Union Minister stated that under the leadership of Chief Minister Naidu, Andhra Pradesh is emerging as a leading state in the country. Under the leadership of visionary leader Chandrababu Naidu, Andhra Pradesh has transformed into a 'Shining Andhra,' 'Advanced Andhra,' and 'Achieving Andhra, he said. He stated that CM Naidu's government is working with the philosophy of ensuring the well-being of allmen and women alikeacross the state. Chouhan, who is also the Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister, said that while the Centre provides Rs 6,000 annually to farmers, the state adds another Rs 14,000 to provide a total of Rs 20,000 under the 'Annadata Sukhibhava' scheme. Through the 'VBG Ramji Yojana' and the 'Palle Panduga' initiative, villages can develop essential infrastructure such as drains, roads, and water taps. The Central Government will extend full cooperation to Andhra Pradesh in this regard, he said. He remarked that Prime Minister Modi and CM Naidu are driving 360-degree development in Andhra Pradesh. Accusing the Congress of bifurcating the state without a capital, effectively leaving Andhra Pradesh orphaned, he claimed that the NDA-led Central and state governments are now steering that very state towards development. Union Minister of State for Rural Development, Pemmasani Chandra Sekhar, State Minister Kolusu Parthasarathy, Nadendla Manohar, and others participated in the event.

Centre hands over 3 lakh houses worth Rs 3,600 crore for rural poor in Andhra Pradesh
Digital Desk | Guntur (Andhra Pradesh), Oct 4 (IANS) Union Minister for Agriculture and Rural Development Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday handed over the first instalment of 3 lakh houses worth Rs 3,600 crore to Andhra Pradesh under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin 2.0 at an event in Burripalem village of Guntur district in Andhra Pradesh on Sunday. In the presence of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, Chouhan also laid the foundation stone for the countrys first pilot housing project using 3D concrete printing technology, comprising 177 houses at a cost of Rs 14 crore. Addressing a large gathering, Chouhan said the Centre and the Andhra Pradesh government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, are working together to accelerate the states development across all sectors and make it the number one state in the country. Highlighting the Centres commitment to meeting the housing needs of Andhra Pradesh, Chouhan said the initial allocation proposed by officials was only 76,000 houses. However, following Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidus request to ensure that every poor family in the state had a permanent home, the allocation was increased to 3 lakh houses. Chouhan added that Naidu had also sought another 6 lakh houses. Assuring the Chief Minister of the Centres continued support, he said that once the construction of these 3 lakh houses was completed, the Centre would sanction another 3 lakh, followed by a further 3 lakh. Every poor family in Andhra Pradesh will have a permanent house, the minister remarked. Describing the 3D concrete printing housing project at Burripalem and Obulnayudupalem as a major step towards modernising rural housing, Chouhan said the Rs 14-crore pilot project would significantly reduce construction time, costs and labour requirements. The project will use advanced machinery and 3D concrete printing technology to construct 177 houses, with construction expected to be completed within six months. The houses are designed to offer greater durability and a longer lifespan compared to conventional construction methods. The minister further said that the Modi government had passed legislation in Parliament recognising Amaravati as the sole permanent capital of Andhra Pradesh and had extended special financial assistance of Rs 15,000 crore for its development. Chouhan also highlighted the Polavaram irrigation project, describing it as a lifeline for the state. He said the project, which had faced delays under the previous government, was now progressing with 100 per cent grant assistance from the Centre. He added that the proposed Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport would further strengthen connectivity and support the states economic growth. Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu thanked Chouhan for his support and described him as a beloved Mama not only for the people of Madhya Pradesh but also for the people of Andhra Pradesh. When we raised the issue of providing permanent homes to the poor in Andhra Pradesh, he immediately increased the allocation from around 75,000 houses to 3 lakh, winning the hearts of the people of the state, Naidu added.

100 per cent housing by 2029, says Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu
Digital Desk | Amaravati, Oct 4 (IANS) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Sunday said that his government is committed to providing housing to every poor family and announced that the hundred per cent housing programme will be achieved by 2029. He, along with Union Minister for Rural Development Shivraj Singh Chouhan, laid the foundation for the construction of 3 lakh houses across the state under Pradhan Mantri Awas YojanaGramin (PMAY-G) 2.0 at Burripalem in Guntur district. Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister said the Centre had initially sanctioned only 75,000 houses to Andhra Pradesh under the regular quota. However, following a special request, the Union Government had sanctioned 3 lakh houses. He said Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan had agreed to sanction another 3 lakh houses as soon as the current batch was completed, and an additional 3 lakh houses next year, taking the total allocation to 9 lakh houses. Referring to Burripalem, the Chief Minister said the village was synonymous with legendary actor Superstar Krishna and that it had now also given rise to a political hero in the form of Union Minister Pemmasani Chandrasekhar. He said the coalition government, backed by the people's mandate, was committed to delivering good governance by ensuring that welfare and development reached every section of society. Under the Pattabhishekam initiative, long-pending land disputes had been resolved and house sites distributed to the poor. House sites worth Rs 52,000 crore had been provided in Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, Mangalagiri and other parts of the State. The Chief Minister said the coalition government's agenda was to support every community and every region. Praising Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Chandrababu Naidu described him as a leader dedicated to the welfare of the poor. He recalled Chouhan's contribution to Madhya Pradesh through major river-linking projects. He said Chouhan's close association with the people had earned him the affectionate title of Mama among the people of Madhya Pradesh. Naidu criticised the previous government for mismanaging the housing programme between 2019 and 2024, alleging that 6 lakh houses meant for the poor had been cancelled and that corruption and irregularities had undermined the initiative. He said house sites had been allotted in unsuitable locations, including tanks and hillocks, rendering them unfit for habitation. As a result, nearly 4 lakh beneficiaries had returned their allotted house sites. The Chief Minister said the present government had renewed its commitment to constructing quality houses for the poor. As part of this initiative, 3D concrete printing technology would be introduced on a pilot basis at Burripalem. Houses built using this technology were expected to maintain indoor temperatures at least 8 degrees Celsius lower than the outside temperature, providing greater comfort to residents. He said that after successful completion of 3D technology houses, construction of 5,000 houses will be taken up with the same technology to make Andhra Pradesh a role model in 3D technology housing programme.

Highlighting the scope for expansion, the Chief Minister said that Arunachal Pradesh currently has only around 600 hectares under coffee cultivation, according to data available with the Agriculture Department. Addressing the inaugural ceremony of the Hills to Cup Coffee Workshop, organised by the Coffee Board of India in collaboration with the states Agriculture Department, the Chief Minister said coffee was not new to the state, with its cultivation having begun nearly five decades ago. However, he noted that the potential of coffee had not received adequate awareness and promotion over the years. Khandu described the workshop as an important beginning in Arunachal Pradeshs renewed journey towards coffee cultivation, particularly as it brings together growers, young entrepreneurs, technical experts and other stakeholders on a common platform. This is, in a way, the first chapter of Arunachal Pradesh stepping towards the history of coffee in Arunachal Pradesh, he said. The Chief Minister said the state government would explore appropriate policy interventions to support coffee growers and entrepreneurs. He said that he had constituted a three-member delegation comprising Agriculture officials, a retired PCCF and the Chairman of the Arunachal Pradesh Forest Corporation to visit Andhra Pradesh and other states and study coffee cultivation, its practices and development models. Khandu said the workshop would help identify the technical gaps and challenges faced by growers, following which the Coffee Board of Indias technical experts would prepare recommendations for the state government. As they recommend, the state government will extend full support to you in the coming days, the Chief Minister assured the participants. He said the state government had introduced several interventions and schemes under agriculture and horticulture over the past five to six years, but coffee had not received a dedicated policy intervention so far. Khandu said that he would personally follow up with the Coffee Board of India to determine what specific policy measures could be introduced to handhold the sector. A substantial portion of the existing plantation, he noted, is under the Arunachal Pradesh Forest Corporation in eastern Arunachal, while several growers attending the workshop have taken up coffee cultivation as pilot or model initiatives. The Chief Minister said the states diverse agro-climatic conditions, fertile land and availability of different climatic zones provide a favourable foundation for expanding coffee cultivation. He stressed that the objective should not merely be to increase the area under cultivation, but also to improve productivity per hectare, quality of coffee beans and farmers incomes through value addition and a stronger value chain. Describing coffee as a promising avenue for young entrepreneurs, Khandu said the growing tourism sector in Arunachal Pradesh could create additional opportunities for coffee growers and businesses. Tourists who come to Arunachal always prefer coffee. With tourism growing so much in Arunachal, this is a very good avenue for our youngsters, he said. He urged young people to explore coffee cultivation, processing and related enterprises as avenues for employment and entrepreneurship, adding that the State should not miss the emerging opportunities associated with the sector. The Chief Minister also highlighted the growing global market for coffee and its potential as a commercial crop, while noting the health benefits associated with coffee consumption.
