CM vows to restore AP’s glory

Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu said that his government will make all possible efforts to bring the past glory to the State. The CM made it clear that there is no room for political vendetta in the TDP-led NDA Government.
Addressing the State on the occasion of the 78th Independence Day here on Thursday, the CM said that AP, which was in the grip of lawlessness, destruction of institutions, corruption, and land grabbing in the past five years, has got back its freedom with the NDA coming to power in the recent elections.
Stating that the State has suffered heavily due to the reverse rule adopted by the previous government rather than the bifurcation of the State, he said the people are now enjoying the fruits of freedom. Chandrababu asserted that, as promised during the electioneering, his Government will certainly meet all the expectations of the people who are feeling vexed with the dark rule of the previous government.
The Chief Minister said that the State has gone back by 30 years with the inefficient administration and corrupt regime of the previous government. Land, sand, wine, mine, and drug mafias ruled the roost during the previous regime, he regretted.
While the Central Government is moving forward with its plan of Viksit Bharat-2047, the State is preparing its Vision-2047 to build Vikasitha Andhra Pradesh by 2047, the CM observed. The details of Vision 2047 will be brought before the people on October 2, he added.
Regretting that residual Andhra Pradesh did not have even the capital after the State was bifurcated, the Chief Minister said that the Centre has announced special assistance of ?15,000 crore per annum for building Amaravati. The Centre has also promised to complete the Polavaram project and provide a special package for North Coastal Andhra and Prakasam, he stated.
Declaring that the State Government will soon discuss the bifurcation issues with Telangana, Chandrababu said that all the promises made to the people during electioneering will be implemented in letter and spirit.
Due to the inefficient administration of the previous government, the State’s per capita income has fallen to 9.5 per cent from 13.2 per cent. Inflation rose beyond imagination, and all possible measures are being taken to achieve a growth rate of 15 per cent in the years to come, the CM added.
