I&PR Minister highlights welfare schemes launched by Andhra Pradesh government during his visit to Eluru district
Highlighting the government's achievements, the Minister said the coalition is implementing the P-4 policy with guidance from the party leadership to eliminate poverty. Under the 'Super Six' schemes, benefits are reaching the poor and middle class, bringing smiles to every household. The 'Annadata Sukhibhava' scheme will be formally launched by the end of the month, providing ₹20,000 annually to each farmer. He also approved six new road works in response to local requests and directed officials to resolve public issues promptly.
Mr. Parthasarathy criticised the previous government for plunging the State into debt and failing to generate revenue. In contrast, he said, the current administration is attracting ₹6.5 lakh crore in investments and aims to create 20 lakh jobs in four years.
Schemes like free bus travel for women from August 15, three free LPG cylinders annually, and monthly pensions of ₹15,000 exemplify Mr. Chandrababu Naidu's commitment to welfare and good governance, he added.

Farmers' response to Amaravati LPS positive, and concerns raised will be addressed, says Tadikonda MLA Sravan Kumar
The State government has almost completed the first round of consultations with the farmers on the proposed Amaravati Land Pooling Scheme (LPS 2.0) that is aimed at expanding the capital city, according to TDP's Tadikonda MLA Tenali Sravan Kumar. 'While a majority of the farmers in the Amaravati capital region are willing to part with their lands under the LPS to the A.P. Capital Region Development Authority (APCRDA), several others have expressed concerns and raised certain demands, which will be taken to the notice of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu,' Mr. Sravan Kumar told The Hindu on the sidelines of the grama sabha at Nidumukkala on Saturday. 'Many farmers are supportive of the government's vision, but they have raised pertinent issues regarding compensation and future benefits. We will ensure their voices reach the Chief Minister,' Mr. Sravan Kumar said. He said works costing more than ₹42,000 crore had already been initiated in the first phase of Amaravati construction, including government buildings and LPS layouts, with completion timelines ranging from nine months to three years. 'With the capital city evolving, the government is receiving an influx of proposals from private firms. New mega projects are in the pipeline, including a Quantum Valley, an international airport, and an international sports city, all necessitating significant additional land,' he said. To meet the growing demand, the government launched the LPS 2.0, targeting to pool over 47,000 acres across Tadikonda Assembly constituency in Guntur district and Pedakurapadu constituency in Palnadu district. 'The development under LPS 2.0 will not financially burden the government or the APCRDA. It will be self-sustained through investments from interested private companies. We are creating a model that is both visionary and viable'Tenali Sravan KumarTadikonda MLA Importantly, Mr. Sravan Kumar said the development under LPS 2.0 would not financially burden the government, or the APCRDA. 'It will be self-sustained through investments from interested private companies. We are creating a model that is both visionary and viable,' the MLA asserted. Acknowledging the farmers' demand for revised compensation, especially in comparison with the market value of already developed plots, Mr. Sravan Kumar said, 'While we understand their concerns, farmers must also realise that land values will increase manifold once development is complete. Still, we are committed to securing maximum benefits for them.' Taking a swipe at the previous YSRCP government, Mr. Sravan Kumar accused former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy of halting development and disturbing over 1,200 acres of capital land in the first phase. 'As a result, the NDA government is now compelled to acquire land for the proposed sports city under LPS 2.0,' he said. 'Without sports infrastructure, we cannot expect international sporting events or nurture local talent,' he said. 'Out of the proposed 47,000 acres, only 10,000 acres will be available for direct government use after allocating land for returnable plots, green zones, public utilities, and infrastructure,' he added.

YS Jagan's image continues to remain intact among public, says YSRCP regional coordinator
YSR Congress Party's regional coordinator Kurasala Kannababu on Saturday said that former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's image in the public remained intact and it was evident with the huge response from the public during his recent tours to Kurnool, Prakasam and Guntur districts. He said that the TDP government which was unable to digest his popularity had been ignoring his security with an aim to curtail his tours in the State. He held a party review meeting in Parvatipuram and interacted YSRCP-Vizianagaram-Parvatipuram districts president Majji Srinivasa Rao and Araku Parliament member Gumma Thanuja Rani and other leaders. Speaking on the occasion, he said that the party which got 40% vote share in 2024 General Elections would come back to power in 2020 with a thumping majority. He asked party leaders and activists to take up party programmes such as 'Babu Surity-Mosam Guarantee' and explain to the people about the failure of the government in implementation of Super-Six assurances given prior to 2024 General Elections. Rani hoped that the party would continue to have its strong presence in Agency areas as tribal people were happy with YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's rule between 2019 and 2024. Former deputy chief minister Peedika Rajannadora, Parvatipuram former MLA Alajangi Jogarao and others were present.

Tension in Atmakur as TDP groups clash at MP Byreddy Shabari's program
KURNOOL: Tension gripped Atmakur on Friday after internal rift within the TDP escalated into violence. Supporters of Srisailam MLA Budda Rajasekhar Reddy allegedly attacked the residence of former minister and TDP State vice-president Erasu Prathap Reddy, even as Nandyal MP Byreddy Shabari was preparing to attend a party programme in the town. The incident occurred when Shabari visited Prathap Reddy's house for breakfast ahead of participating in the 'Suparipalana Tholi Adugu' programme. During her visit, Rajasekhar Reddy's followers reportedly gathered outside the residence, raised slogans demanding the MP to 'go back', and vandalised the property, damaging furniture and windows. Sources said the attack stemmed from a perceived breach of protocol as Rajasekhar Reddy's supporters got angered that the MLA was not given precedence or proper intimation regarding the event. The attack played out in full public view, highlighting the deepening internal divisions within the TDP's Srisailam unit, and raising concern about the prevailing law and order situation in the region. Prathap Reddy expressed shock and disappointment over the incident. 'It is unfortunate that party workers resorted to such violence. I have now relocated from Atmakur in view of safety concerns,' he said. Shabari called the attack 'completely uncalled for and unfortunate.' The MP clarified that she had informed the MLA in advance, and even rescheduled the event according to his availability. 'The incident is shocking,' she said. MLA Rajasekhar Reddy was not available for his comments on the incident.
