Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu unveiled his government’s long-term vision and future roadmap during the ‘SwarnaAndhra-SwachhaAndhra’ public meeting held in Narasannapeta, Srikakulam district. He reiterated that four core initiatives close to his heart will serve as the pillars of the state’s progress. He defined his life’s mission as transforming the state through the ‘SwachhaAndhra-SwarnaAndhra’ cleanliness drive, ensuring timely welfare pensions on the first of every month, managing population balance by incentivizing larger families, and overhauling land records using blockchain technology. To mark the occasion, he also launched ‘Operation Clean Sweep,’ a month-long intensive campaign aimed at making Andhra Pradesh entirely garbage-free.
The Chief Minister placed a special emphasis on the comprehensive development of Uttarandhra (North Coastal Andhra). Reflecting on the past, he expressed regret that migration had historically forced people from Srikakulam to set up labor colonies across various cities in India. He vowed to reverse this trend, ensuring that people would instead migrate to Uttarandhra for opportunities. Highlighting major catalysts like the Bhogapuram Airport, Mulapeta Port, data centers, and IT companies, Naidu asserted that the region’s landscape is rapidly changing. He also released a dedicated calendar for the time-bound completion of pending irrigation projects, including Vamsadhara, Janjavathi, and the Madhavalasa Stage-2 project, promising to fulfill the 60-year-old dream of the Neradi Barrage during this tenure.
In a sharp political attack, Chandrababu Naidu labeled the previous YSR Congress Party regime as the “Axe Party” (Goddali Party), criticizing their governance style. He noted that power should be used as an opportunity to transform citizens’ lives rather than resorting to destruction, land-grabbing, and political terrorism, which severely crippled Uttarandhra’s growth over the past five years. Cautioning the public against what he termed political deceptions, Naidu urged the people to recognize the stark difference between development and destruction, calling on them to stand firmly by the alliance government to safeguard the state’s future.
