People have pulled the curtains down on the “dark rule (of YSR Congress Party)“ by giving the TDP-Jana Sena Party-BJP alliance a mandate unheard of in a very long time, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has obsreved.
Participating in the Deepavali celebrations at the Punnami Ghat here on Sunday, Mr. Naidu asserted that Andhra Pradesh was recovering from the difficulties it had been facing since bifurcation more than a decade ago.
The Union government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi supported Andhra Pradesh by all possible means, because of which the State’s finances were back on track, the Chief Minister said.
The State government implemented the Super Six schemes and was also giving many benefits beyond those schemes, he said.
In spite of its financial problems, the government sanctioned one DA pending and one surrender leave to the employees and police personnel, and it was streamlining the Employees’ Health Scheme.
The Chief Minister said the GST 2.0 reforms came as a boon for businesses and the common people, and claimed that each family was able to save up to ₹15,000 due to rationalisation of the GST rates.
He wished that Andhra Pradesh should become an ‘AI State’, and expressed his resolve to develop Amaravati as a model capital city and complete the Polavaram project by December 2027.
Through the P4 (Public-Private-People Partnership), the government would improve the living standards of the poor, he asserted.
Under Mr. Modi’s leadership, India was poised to emerge as the world’s third largest economy in the foreseeable future, the Chief Minister said.
