Chandrababu inaugurates development projects in Kuppam, announces free solar power
During the 'Prajavedika Sabha' held in Tummishi, Naidu expressed his vision for the transformation of Kuppam, citing the establishment of a Rayalaseema Horticulture Hub constituency as a key initiative.
"Development and welfare should go hand in hand," he stated. "We must create wealth while also implementing welfare programmes. The people of Kuppam have graciously elected me as an MLA nine times. The current YSRCP government has wreaked havoc in the state, dismantling established systems."
Naidu highlighted achievements under his administration, including the completion of pothole-free roads and a planned ₹3,829 crore investment to provide water access to every farmland. He also announced plans to elevate Kuppam to a prominent milk production hub, with initiatives like a ₹98,000 subsidy for backward classes to support the generation of three kilowatts of solar energy under the PM Suryagarh scheme.
Further developments highlighted included the impending construction of an airport in the Kuppam area and the creation of new roads parallel to Kuppam-Hosur, aimed at attracting large-scale industries to the constituency.

Will not oppose irrigation projects on the Godavari in Telangana, asserts Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu
Reiterating that the proposed Godavari-Banakacherla project would not harm the interests of any State, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday asserted that he had never opposed, nor would he oppose in the future any irrigation project that the Telangana government might take up on the Godavari. Mr. Naidu, who wound up his two-day tour of Kuppam constituency, was addressing the media. Responding to Telangana's opposition to the Banakacherla project, he said, 'I was the one who brought the Devadula Lift Irrigation project for Telangana in the unified Andhra Pradesh. After inspecting the Srisailam project, the SLBC, and the Madhav Reddy Canal, the Devadula project was built over the Godavari. I had also constructed two lift irrigation projects — Pushkara and Tatipudi — in Andhra Pradesh,' Mr. Naidu said. 'Both the upper and lower riparian States (Telangana and Andhra Pradesh) can share the Godavari waters,' he observed. Pointing out that 2,000 tmc ft of Godavari water had been flowing into the sea over the past one hundred years, the Chief Minister said 'even if 200 tmc ft is utilised by either Telangana or Andhra Pradesh, it will benefit both the States.' Addressing the water issues would uplift the entire Telugu community, he asserted. Later, Mr. Naidu received grievances from the local people at his residence and left for Bengaluru for his onward journey to Amaravati.

Jagan being protected as per Z+ protocol: Anitha
Home Minister Vangalapudi Anitha asserted that there was no need to fuss over the security concerns of former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, as he is receiving adequate protection in accordance to the Z+ category norms. Speaking to the media on the sidelines of Vision-2047 deliberations held on Thursday, she accused the YSRCP's social media wing of misleading the public with frequent posts alleging security lapses during Mr. Jagan's tours in Kurnool, Prakasam and Guntur districts. She said: 'Mr. Jagan himself does not know what type of security he requires. It is unfair to claim that security arrangements are not being done as per Z+security norms. The issue is left to their wisdom.' She further added that Mr. Jagan consoled the family members of Singayya at his residence in an attempt to corner the government. It appears to be a novel form of 'Work from Home.' Earlier, Ms. Anitha alongside Minister for MSME, Kondapalli Srinivas said that Vizianagaram would witness rapid progress, as the government is prioritising the district's development in accordance to the Vision-2047 document. Later, they participated in 'Suparipalana-Toli Adugu' programme held in Bondapalli village of Gajapathinagaram constituency, represented by Mr. Srinivas. Ms. Anitha interacted with the locals and asked them if they were satisfied with the implementation of the welfare schemes, under the 'Super-Six' assurances given prior to the 2024 general elections.

Jagan's popularity unshaken, says YSRCP leader at meet
Kurasala Kannababu, regional coordinator for the YSR Congress Party in the North Andhra region, urged all-party leaders and activists on Thursday to highlight the failures of the Chandrababu Naidu-led government and raise concerns over the partial implementation of the 'Super-Six' assurances made prior to the 2024 general elections. He, along with ex-minister Botcha Satyanarayana and YSRCP-Vizianagaram district and zilla parishad chairperson Majji Srinivasa Rao, reviewed the party activities in all mandals and villages over the last one year. Speaking at the event, he said that within a year, the NDA government had failed on all fronts and had lost the support of the people. He claimed that the participation of large crowds at the recent meetings held in Kurnool, Prakasam and Guntur districts by ex-chief minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy demonstrates that his image remains intact. Mr. Botcha Satyanarayana alleged that the government had intentionally ignored Mr. Jagan's security though it was supposed to ensure adequate security as per Z+ category norms. Under the 'Babu Surity-Mosam Guarantee' programme designed by the YSRCP high command, Mr. Majji Srinivasa Rao asked all leaders to take up door-to-door campaign to explain the government's failures. Former MLAs Kadubandi Srinivasa Rao, Sambangi China Venkata Appalanaidu and others were attended the meeting.
