Speaking at a review meeting and unveiling the #IAmMargadarsi poster at the Secretariat on Friday, Naidu declared, 'I am adopting 250 families from my Kuppam constituency. I take full responsibility for their holistic development. I've been urging mentors to come forward, and now I'm leading by example by adopting these 250 Bangaru Kutumbams. I will prepare a detailed development plan for them. I am a Margadarsi. No other State has undertaken such an initiative to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor.'
The Chief Minister expressed confidence that his active participation would inspire others to step forward as Margadarsulu and support underprivileged families. He emphasised that the initiative must become a people's movement, with collective efforts aimed at uplifting the State's most vulnerable communities.
