The Andhra Pradesh CM met Modi and his ministers in a 2-day visit to Delhi and stressed his priorities, among which is the development of Amaravati as state capital.
Andhra Pradesh CM presented a detailed memorandum during a meeting in North Block highlighting projects in the state that require urgent central assistance.
Ahead of Saturday meeting in Hyderabad, past & present officials are hopeful that CMs can make head start to solve issues such as water sharing & power dues.
Last week, 1997 batch IAS officer Peeyush Kumar, with stint in Delhi, was appointed principal secretary in CMO. Officers who served ex-CM Jagan were removed within 3 days of election results.
In white paper, TDP govt alleged Jagan ‘diverted Rs 3,385 crore meant for project’ & ‘delay in commissioning of hydel power project resulted in loss of over Rs 3000 cr to exchequer’.
Matters of defence and foreign policy are important, but the new government must address widespread discontent in the country. This begins with investing in the rural sector.
All the work on AP capital, with a plan spread over 217 sq km area, was halted as Jagan scrapped project altogether. Now, bulldozers have reappeared to pick up construction.
A kingmaker in the 1990s, N Chandrababu Naidu is playing that role yet again. His TDP is not only the BJP’s biggest alliance partner in NDA but also holds the fate of Narendra Modi 3.0. He is expected to bring Andhra Pradesh back from the brink of going bankrupt.

WhatsApp privacy policy case is among a string of matters involving practices like restrictive platform rules, pricing & billing policies, reflecting India’s tight scrutiny of market dominance.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
