CPI flays govt for sidelining people's issues
Alur (Kurnool district): Addressinga massive public gathering on Friday during the 12th State conference of the Communist Party of India (CPI) in Alur constituency, CPI State Secretary K Ramakrishna strongly criticised the ruling dispensation for sidelining people's basic needs in pursuit of political gains. He lamented that several key irrigation projects in the region, such as Vedavathi, Nagaradam reservoir and Gundrevula remain incomplete, causing severe drinking and irrigation water shortages. Despite these pressing issues, the administration continues to focus on power politics, he said. Highlighting the deteriorating infrastructure, Ramakrishna pointed out the pathetic condition of roads in Madugula that get damaged even after a minor rainfall. He demanded lasting solutions to such civic problems. He also criticised the much-hyped 'Super Six' welfare schemes, calling them mere publicity stunts with major lapses in execution. Referring to the neglect of essential initiatives like the Jinkala Park wildlife project, he stated that the government's priorities were misplaced. He condemned the infighting within the TDP and the ruling party's failure to address people's issues, warning that the BJP-led government's support for corporate giants like Ambani and Adani poses a serious threat to democracy. Speaking at the same event, CPI-affiliated Ryuthu Sangham (Farmers' Association) State president Ramachandraiah and district secretary Giddaiah expressed concern over the deteriorating condition of farmers. They stated that the commercialisation of agriculture has pushed the farming community into a dark future. Due to lack of fair prices for their produce, mounting debts and insufficient access to fertilisers, seeds and irrigation, many farmers are forced into committing suicide, they said. They also pointed out the government's failure to ensure proper implementation of Minimum Support Prices (MSPs), which further adds to the financial stress on farmers. The leaders emphasised that farmers were being pushed into a debt trap as input costs continue to rise while yields remain low and market prices plummet. Instead of supporting farmers, they alleged, the government was backing corporate interests, which is deeply distressing. Criticising the BJP government for allegedly trying to privatise the agricultural sector for the benefit of Ambani and Adani, they called it a dangerous ploy against the rural economy. The leaders urged farmer unions to engage in intellectual resistance and continue their movements in support of farmers' rights.

AP leads the way in simplification of laws
Vijayawada: Andhra Pradesh is leading the way in legal reforms aimed at deregulation and compliance reduction, aligning state laws with national standards to enhance ease of trade and improve public service delivery. At a key meeting held at the Secretariat on Friday, Union secretary (Coordination) of the Cabinet Secretariat and head of the Task Force Committee on Deregulation and Compliance Reduction, Manoj Govil, commended Andhra Pradesh for its proactive efforts. He noted that the state is at the forefront in updating, amending, and simplifying outdated laws to align with the Central government's framework. These measures, he said, are part of a broader national push to reduce regulatory burdens and ensure laws better serve citizens and businesses. Govil stressed the need for full adoption of the National Building Code and urged states to implement stringent fire safety standards in high-rise structures. He added that such compliance reforms, when implemented effectively, will directly benefit citizens and entrepreneurs alike. Chief secretary K Vijayanand said that the state has already initiated significant legal changes under the Central government's Jan Vishwas Act, aimed at trust-based governance. As part of this effort, 76 state laws have been reviewed and simplified — including 18 from the excise department, 19 from mines and geology, 21 from labour, factories and boilers, four from the cooperative department, and three from the energy department. He also noted that the state is embracing technology to streamline governance. Through initiatives like WhatsApp Governance, Andhra Pradesh has made 520 citizen services available online, ensuring faster, more accessible public service delivery. Efforts are ongoing to digitally integrate all departments. Senior officials, including special chief secretary G Anantha Ramu, principal secretaries Kumar Vishwajith and S Suresh Kumar, Secretaries Dr N Yuvaraj and Pratibha Devi, fire services director Murali and Central and state officials took part in the discussions. •State is aligning laws with national standards as part of ease of trade
