All basic amenities will be provided at mega housing project at Tangudubilli in Visakhapatnam district, says Bheemunipatnam MLA
Bheemunipatnam MLA Ganta Srinivasa Rao has assured that all basic amenities will be provided at the mega housing project coming up across 690 acres at Tangudubilli in Anandapuram mandal. Of the proposed 16,996 houses under the project, 2,036 have already been completed. The MLA conducted a field-level inspection of the project site on Tuesday. Speaking to the media later, he criticised the previous YSRCP government, alleging that the housing policy was designed to benefit party leaders under the guise of the Land Pooling Scheme (LPS). He said the former government had failed to ensure basic infrastructure in the area. 'Houses were allotted to beneficiaries living in Visakhapatnam city, nearly 30 km away, while ignoring eligible applicants from the village itself,' he pointed out. Reaffirming the coalition government's commitment, Mr. Srinivasa Rao said that 3 cents of land in rural areas and 2 cents in urban areas would be allocated to eligible beneficiaries. He also highlighted the plight of those who had availed loans for TIDCO houses and are now struggling to repay them. The MLA interacted with three beneficiaries over the phone to gather feedback on the quality of the housing units and the challenges faced. He later spoke to District Collector M.N. Harendhira Prasad and urged immediate steps to provide essential amenities such as power, drinking water, internal roads, and drainage systems. Expressing displeasure over the absence of the contractor during his visit, Mr. Srinivasa Rao said he had received multiple complaints regarding the quality of construction. He directed officials to intensify monitoring and ensure quality standards are upheld. Housing PD Sattibabu, Executive Engineer Suri Babu, and MRO S. Suri Babu were present during the visit. Later, under the 'Suparipalana lo Tholi Adugu' programme, the MLA conducted a door-to-door campaign in Tangudubilli village and interacted with residents. He assured them that despite financial challenges, the State government was committed to fulfilling all election promises. TDP leaders Ghattamneni Subashchandra Bose, Tatraju Appa Rao, B.R.B. Naidu, Gandreddi Swamy Naidu, Yerra Raju, Balireddy Mallikarjuna Rao, Srikanth Raju, and S. Siva also took part in the campaign.

YSRCP demands apology from TDP MLA for making derogatory remarks against former Minister
The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) strongly condemned the derogatory remarks made by TDP MLA Bollisetty Srinivas against its leader and former Minister R.K. Roja and demanded a public apology. Addressing the media, YSRCP leader Putta Shiva Shankar called the comments an insult to women in public life and urged immediate withdrawal of the statements. Mr. Shivashankar also attacked Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Agriculture Minister K. Atchannaidu, accusing them of deceiving voters during the election campaign. He criticised the TDP for failing to implement key promises, including the 'Aadabidda Nidhi' scheme meant to provide financial assistance to women. He took particular exception to the Agriculture Minister's recent remark that implementing such schemes would require 'selling the State,' calling it an admission of poor planning. Mr. Shivashankar questioned why such promises were made if they could not be fulfilled. The YSRCP leader alleged that none of the 143 election promises, including free bus travel for women and unemployment allowances had been delivered. He also raised concerns about alleged asset transfers to unknown entities and demanded the Chief Minister's resignation.
