e-gov Via WA Soon In AP, Naidu Tells Party Activists In New Year Message

Amaravati: The TDP-led NDA Government in Andhra Pradesh will introduce e-governance through WhatsApp in the New Year.

In his message to TDP MLA, MPs and other functionaries, he said 2024 was an inspiring year for the party and the people of Andhra Pradesh and declared that 2025 will augur well for the State with several new policies in place.

He made it clear in his address that everything cannot be done overnight. He said he had worked to safeguard the party activists in the past five years but now will work to give proper recognition to them. Announcing that 'WhatsApp governance' is going to be introduced very soon, the Chief Minister alerted the party activists to always be cautious as the party came to power firmly resisting 'evil rule and dictatorship.'

He asked them to take to the people all the welfare and developmental programmes being implemented and felt that every leader should mingle with the people.

In this six-month rule, several programmes have been implemented. Naidu said that the Godavari water will be shifted to Banakacherla to pay tribute to the Telugu Talli.

He was confident that once this project is complete it will be a game changer as the State will turn drought-free. Already agreements have been entered into for Rs4 lakh crore which will create four lakh jobs, the Chief Minister said and called upon the party leaders and activists to work for 2029 polls from

now onwards.

"We have been gathering public opinion periodically and even pension payments are being monitored through geotagging," Naidu said.

"As the Chief Minister, on the one side I am concentrating on governance and on the other allotting certain time for the cause of the party activists," he said.

Regretting that the previous government had pushed the State into heavy debts by fragmenting the economy, he said that the people are now reposing confidence in the government as the State is successfully brought back on track.

He alleged that the previous ruling dispensation had made all false promises to the people, like total prohibition and even taken people for a ride by not properly implementing schemes like Rythu Bharosa and Cheyutha. The Chief Minister said that this government will certainly fulfill all the Super-Six promises made

to the people.

"We will certainly develop the State and increase revenue. The revenue thus generated will be distributed to the poor. We are committed to social engineering," the Chief Minister said and stated that Rs33,000 crore is being spent annually for payment of pension alone to 62 lakh beneficiaries. No other State in the country is making such huge pensions, Naidu observed.
