Amaravati Glory Will Be Revived In Four Years: Naidu

Visakhapatnam: AP Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday said the coalition government is keen on revival of Amaravati's capital city construction, restoring its glory within four years.

“Polavaram project is progressing rapidly and will be completed by 2027, paving the way for river interlinking,” he said. The government has set up over 200 Anna Canteens to provide meals to the underprivileged. He also highlighted significant projects, including a Rs11,400 crore package for Visakhapatnam Steel Plant and the establishment of a railway zone in Visakhapatnam.

“Infrastructure is a top priority. Roads left in disrepair over the last five years are now being fixed, and soon, they will be as smooth as glass,” he said while participating in a service program for the underprivileged in Parchur constituency of Bapatla district. He visited beneficiaries' homes, distributed pensions, and inquired about their living conditions. Later, he addressed a public meeting.

The Chief Minister pointed out that some take pride in pressing buttons, but the reality is that those buttons are equivalent to the pensions provided by the government and called upon the people to question those who engage in unnecessary criticism. “The Telugu Desam Party stands strong because of the backward classes. For 43 years, the party’s flag has been carried by marginalised communities. Even in the face of intimidation, they have stood firm and fought courageously,” he remarked. He assured that he would take responsibility for uplifting backward communities economically, socially, and politically.

Naidu recalled how the previous government’s inefficiency had devastated the state, leaving behind a debt of Rs.10 lakh crore. Despite this, he pledged to continue welfare and development while also repaying both principal and interest.

“We have allied with Jana Sena founder Pawan Kalyan and the BJP to rebuild the State. We are moving forward by implementing all the promises we made,” he asserted.

The Chief Minister said “to personally lead from the front, I am directly participating in pension distribution every month.”
