People are watching, CM tells new chairpersons

Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has told the newly-appointed chairpersons of various corporations that they are in public service, and should not be egoistic. Chandrababu congratulated all those who are nominated to various posts, at the State Secretariat here on Wednesday. The CM warned the corporation chairpersons that the people always observe their style of functioning.
“All our movements, discussions and the style of work should be in a very dignified way. As promised, we have nominated leaders from all the three partners of the NDA to these posts,” he said. The CM said that as a special system was adopted in the selection of candidates in the recent elections, excellent results were achieved. Even in case of these nominated posts, a lot of exercise was done before making the announcement, he added.
Chandrababu made it clear that posts have been allotted only for a few in the first phase. Some more posts are still vacant and the list is ready. Without naming anyone, he said some people are acting in haste, which is not correct.
“We should always keep in mind that the party gives top priority for discipline and those who could not be allotted party tickets in the recent polls were given the preference while announcing the first list,” Chandrababu told the chairpersons.
“Those who got the opportunity in the first phase should not feel that others have not worked hard and are not qualified,” he remarked.
Pointing out that there are leaders who have gone to jail, lost their assets and also those who are facing various kinds of cases, Chandrababu told them that he has the entire list consisting of all those who had worked hard and how they functioned. “Justice should be done for all those who strive hard for the party,” he said.
“Following social justice, Backward Classes (BCs) are given priority in the nominated posts as per the population ratio,” the Chief Minister said, and advised them to do better work in their respective wings. He is of the opinion that the Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC) plays a major role in inviting investments to the State and said that by creating infrastructure, major industrialists can be invited to set up their units in the State.
“If industries are set up, employment will be generated,” he said, and stated that efforts should be made to take the Road Transport Corporation (RTC) much further. “Work hard and get a good reputation in the government. Follow simple and effective governance as mentioned by me and the Deputy Chief Minister, Pawan Kalyan,” he said.
Mentioning that flood relief was distributed in just 15 days, the Chief Minister said that this is the policy of this government and they, too, should follow this norm. “I want all of you to function in close coordination with the ministers, MPs and MLAs and the NDA Government should get some political gain with all of you,” Chandrababu told the chairpersons and wished them all the best.
