YSRCP's allegations are baseless: TDP
TDP Anantapur district president Venkatasivudu Yadav on Saturday (June 28) said YSRCP leaders are levelling baseless allegations against the NDA government because they are unable to digest the fact that poll promises are being fulfilled. Speaking to media persons here, Mr. Venkatasivudu Yadav said the YSRCP leaders are trying to divert the attention of the people from the scams and scandals of the previous government that are coming to light in the past one year. 'The YSRCP leaders should stop their propaganda against the government,' he said. Listing the various welfare programmes by the government, he said the government is extending 'Talliki Vandanam' to every child of the eligible beneficiary families and will implement the 'Annadata Sukhibhava' from July. He said the government increased the social security pensions and had also issued DSC notification to fill 16,347 vacancies. 'The government will soon launch the free bus ride to women scheme also,' he said. Mr. Venkatasivudu said the government repaired 20,000 km of roads at ₹1,200 crore since coming to power with an aim to make the State pothole free. On the development front, the government brought ₹4.95 lakh crore investments to the State, providing jobs to 4.50 lakh people.

Hindupur MP calls for coordination between officials and public representatives
Hindupur MP B.K. Parthasarathi on Friday called on the officials and public representatives to work in coordination, 'which is essential in ensuring effective implementation of Central government welfare schemes across Sri Sathya Sai district'. The MP, who is the chairperson of the District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee (DISHA), was chairing the panel meeting at the Collectorate here, along with District Collector T.S. Chetan. Key discussions focused on agriculture, pensions, housing, MGNREGS, fisheries, and national highways. The MP stressed on resolving issues caused by flaws in previous land surveys, which had excluded some eligible beneficiaries. He highlighted the success of the 'Thalliki Vandhanam' scheme and asked officials to ensure that the benefits reached all eligible mothers. He stressed on the need for prompt disbursement of benefits under PM-Kisan and Annadata Sukhibhava schemes, clearance of insurance claims under PMSBY, and swift redressal of public grievances. Mr. Parthasarathi asked the officials to focus on the long-pending issues in the fisheries sector. The MP further reviewed the ongoing works related to the national highways in the district. He informed the officials to speed up the identification process for the removal of ineligible recipients of welfare schemes, while adding that the initiatives should reach genuine beneficiaries above caste or political affiliations. He further suggested setting up village-level grievance redressal cells for new ration cards.

Double-engine government has become a double burden on A.P., says CPI(M)
CPI(M) State secretary V. Srinivasa Rao launched a scathing attack on the NDA government's first year in office, calling it a 'year of upside-down governance' that has burdened common people while benefiting corporates. Addressing the media on Tuesday, Mr. Srinivasa Rao said that the double-engine government had failed to deliver on the promises and was instead running a 'double-burden government'. Key welfare schemes were neglected during the last one year. The govenrment has failed in ensuring the minimum wages and remunerative prices for farmers, and imposed a heavy burden on the people in the form of electricity bills, taxes, and administrative confusion. 'Despite claiming ₹9.4 lakh crore in investments through MoUs, there is no clarity on the industries or jobs generated,' he alleged. Mr. Srinivasa Rao criticised Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu for 'promoting outdated economic models' like GDP, ignoring the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) laid out by the United Nations. Andhra Pradesh ranks 10th among the States on SDG performance. Real development is not GDP alone, but sustainable and inclusive progress. Corporations are being favoured at the cost of workers and the unorganised sector, pointing to stagnant wages for 50 lakh workers and plummeting agricultural prices despite rising market rates. 'Even as ITC shares soar, tobacco farmers are denied fair prices,' he said. Referring to social welfare, the CPI(M) leader alleged irregularities in the 'Thalliki Vandanam' scheme and questioned the delay in delivering schemes such as Annadata Sukhibhava, unemployment allowance, and Stree Shakti funds. Referring to the issue of smart meters, he said that common people were being made to pay exorbitant bill amounts and urged the government to clarify whether it would continue legal cases filed by its own Ministers when they were in the opposition. Criticising the CM's governance style, he pointed to contradictions between statements made at TDP's Mahanadu and the so-called good governance meetings.
