Marking the completion of one year under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Centre and Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu in Andhra Pradesh, Twenty Point Programme Implementation Chairmen Lanka Dinakar addressed the media at the State Secretariat at Velagapudi on Monday, highlighting key milestones and governance reforms during the NDA regime.
Mr. Dinakar announced that Phase-1 reviews of Twenty Point Programme were completed across all 26 districts. “The State is transitioning from the destruction under YSRCP to the vision of Swarna Andhra,” he said and claimed that the State had secured investment MoUs worth ₹9.34 lakh crore and was working to generate 25 lakh jobs.
He detailed flagship projects including Amaravati capital development, Visakhapatnam economic zone, Polavaram Project Phase-1 by 2027, and industrial zones in Kopparthi-Orvakal.
He emphasised a shift from YSRCP’s “anti-people, arrogant governance” to “public participation and policy correction.”
Mr. Dinakar criticised the YSRCP’s ‘failures’ in housing, JJM, and AMRUT schemes, citing inflated progress reports and mismanagement. He also accused the previous regime of misusing ₹96 crore in media surveys and liquor policy corruption.
He affirmed the current government’s focus on women’s empowerment, decentralised development, and large-scale recruitment drives.
“With Mr. Modi’s Viksit Bharat vision and Mr. Naidu’s leadership, Andhra Pradesh is being steered towards a $2.4 trillion economy,” he said.
