‘Simple and effective governance my policy’

On the second day of his visit to Kuppam constituency, Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu said that ‘simple government and effective governance’ is his policy. The CM received grievances from the people directly at the R&B guest house on Wednesday. Later, he held a review meeting with the officials at Kuppam Degree College in the afternoon. He spoke to the officials about the development works in the constituency.
Chandrababu directed all the officers to be prepared for the virtual and physical working system. Taking serious view of the incidents of rowdyism, violence and ganja abuse in Kuppam segment, Chandrababu directed the officials to immediately put an end to such illegal activities.
The Chief Minister also ordered the police officials to immediately withdraw the cases against innocent persons registered under political compulsions. Giving the roadmap for the officials on the schemes that are to be implemented in Kuppam in the coming days, Chandrababu made it clear that the poverty elimination will begin at Kuppam.
“The first step to build a poverty-free society will be taken from Kuppam and the entire constituency will be first turned into a property-free village, mandal and poverty-free segment,” the Chief Minister told the officials and asked them to formulate an action plan immediately. Making it clear that there will be a vast difference between the previous government and the present administration, Chandrababu said that there will be no forcible mobilisation of the public for meetings, no heavy convoys and sirens.
“I have already informed the cabinet ministers not to hold any kind of meetings after 6 pm any day and the officers, too, should react fast to perform their duties more effectively,” he added. The Chief Minister is very particular that the law enforcement agencies should act firmly against those who are violating norms and indulging in rowdyism.
Recalling that the officers have functioned under several compulsions in the past five years, he said that the situation was so alarming that he could not visit his home constituency and interact with the local people. “Even an attempt to murder case and several other cases were registered against me though till 2019 there was no single case filed against me,” Chandrababu pointed out.
Mentioning that the drinking water problem is grave in Kuppam constituency, the Chief Minister told the officers to prepare an action plan for early completion of the canal works of Handri-Neeva. “Priority should be given to dairy, silk and honey products,” he said, and declared that food processing units will be invited to Kuppam and the constituency will be transformed as an education hub.
The Chief Minister made it clear that a special programme will be taken up to sharpen the skills of the youth and provide employment to them. Chandrababu Naidu also directed the officials to focus on extending subsidies to farmers and that within a few months the entire shape of Kuppam should take a total transformation.
