CM reaffirms support for ‘One Nation-One Election’

Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has reiterated his firm support for the One Nation-One Election (ONOE) initiative, affirming that State elections will be held as scheduled in 2029 despite discussions surrounding the policy’s implementation. Responding to demands for early elections under ONOE, Naidu criticised the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) for indulging in “desperate measures,” asserting that the Opposition has lost public trust.
“The YSRCP leaders have lost the confidence of the people, and their behaviour is being ridiculed,” Naidu remarked, emphasising the stability of his government. He also highlighted the importance of popularising the ‘Swarna Andhra Vision 2047,’ calling for discussions on the initiative across universities, colleges, and schools.
Reflecting on the success of the Vision 2020 programme, Naidu stated that it had brought transformative changes to the state. He expressed optimism about achieving similar progress through Vision 2047, describing it as a comprehensive, long-term roadmap to secure a brighter future for the youth.
Naidu confirmed that local body elections, including those for water user associations and cooperatives, would be conducted as planned. He also announced preparations for the upcoming collectors’ conference, aimed at enhancing administrative efficiency by circulating discussion topics to officials in advance to streamline responses.
Extending his best wishes for the recovery of veteran leader L.K. Advani, Naidu reflected on their close association and acknowledged Advani’s contributions to Andhra Pradesh’s progress.
