R&B minister slams YSRCP chief, questions credibility to face people
The minister said that the NDA alliance government is moving forward with the motto of 'taking governance to the people with welfare and development as its goal.' In contrast, he mocked the YSRCP for attempting to re-enter public life with the slogan 'Babu Surety-Betrayal Guarantee', calling it ridiculous and shameless.
Highlighting the party's electoral downfall, he ridiculed the YSRCP for being reduced to just 11 Assembly seats, asking sarcastically, 'What happened to their 'Why Not 175' ambition?'
Reddy alleged that Jagan earned the dubious distinction of sending IAS and IPS officers, and even his own ministers, to jail due to corruption. He questioned whether such a leader should be seen supporting rowdies, ganja dealers, and land mafia groups. 'Jagan's anarchic rule scared away investors, but under the current government, investments are queuing up like a flood,' he added.
Referring to the previous government's push for three capitals, he blamed Jagan for destroying the state under that pretext. 'Now, under Chandrababu Naidu's leadership, the capital works are progressing in a way that will make the state stand tall across India,' he said. He also said the Polavaram project was being accelerated.
Assuring development in the region, the minister promised to complete all the roads proposed by MLA Amarnath Reddy in the Palamaner constituency. DCCB chairman Amasa Rajasekhar Reddy was also present at the press meet.
Earlier in the day, the leaders participated in the 'Suparipalanalo Tholi Adugu' (First Step in Good Governance) programme at Baireddipalle in the Palamaner constituency.
They distributed NTR Bharosa pensions to beneficiaries. On the occasion, the minister said that despite financial constraints, the state government was effectively implementing welfare and development initiatives, and added that the NDA's 'Super Six' schemes have turned out to be a 'Super Success.'

Cong MLA to join AGP before '26 polls
1 2 Silchar: In a significant development ahead of the 2026 assembly elections, Congress MLA from Karimganj South and former minister Siddeque Ahmed has announced his decision to join the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), a member of BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Ahmed said he held discussions with senior AGP leaders, including party president Atul Bora. "I have talked to the AGP leadership and finalised my decision to join the party. The Congress has no future in Assam under the current leadership," Ahmed added. Congress had suspended its Ahmed from the primary membership of the party in Apr, 2022 after he deliberately disobeyed the three-line whip issued by the party for the Rajya Sabha poll. A four-time MLA (one each from Samata Party and as Independent and two times as Congress) from the minority-dominated constituency, Ahmed has been a prominent face of Congress in the Barak Valley. He had earlier served as a cabinet minister in the Tarun Gogoi-led govt. Since his suspension from the party, Ahmed publicly criticised the functioning of the Congress in the state, but had not formally indicated any plans of switching allegiance — until now. Taking a swipe at Assam Congress president Gaurav Gogoi, Ahmed said, "Congress under Gaurav Gogoi can't win the next Assembly elections. The party's performance in the last panchayat polls was a disaster. People have lost faith in the party." He added that several of his supporters and grassroots workers from Sribhumi district would also join the AGP in the coming days. "The AGP still commands respect among the people of Assam. My supporters and I will strengthen the NDA to ensure stability and development in the state," he the AGP leadership has not officially confirmed the date of Ahmed's induction, party insiders indicated that a formal joining ceremony may take place in Guwahati later this month. Ahmed's defection is being seen as a blow to the Congress in Barak Valley, a region where the party has traditionally held influence. With this move, the AGP also hopes to expand its footprint in the Bengali-speaking areas of southern Assam.
