Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan endorses MGNREGS as Andhra Pradesh's development backbone, emphasizing employment, wages, and rural infrastructure advancements.

MGNREGS Boosts Andhra Pradesh Development

Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan underscores MGNREGS as vital for Andhra Pradesh, boosting employment, wages, and rural infrastructure. Partnership with SBI enhances worker benefits.

Pawan Kalyan endorses MGNREGS as Andhra Pradesh's development backbone

Andhra Pradesh's Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan endorses MGNREGS. The scheme boosts livelihoods, infrastructure, and rural development.

Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan on Thursday called the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) the "backbone of state development." Addressing a gathering during May Day celebrations, Kalyan alleged that the previous government had ruined rural development during its tenure.
"The MGNREGS is not just a welfare scheme&mdash;it is the backbone of rural Andhra Pradesh, sustaining livelihoods and driving grassroots development," said Kalyan.
He said that it is not only engineers and doctors who contribute to nation-building but also laborers who work under the scorching sun and shed sweat for the country&rsquo;s progress.
The Janasena Party (JSP) supremo said that Rs 10,669 crore was spent under MGNREGS last year, generating 24.23 crore person-days of work and directly benefiting 75.23 lakh rural workers across the state.
Wages were increased from Rs 150 to Rs 307, with Rs 6,194 crore paid as wages and Rs 4,023 crore allocated for material components.
Under the Palle Panduga (Village Festival) initiative, 21,564 cattle sheds were built at Rs 377.37 crore, improving farmers&rsquo; earnings through livestock-based livelihood support across rural areas.
Kalyan said that 13,500 animal water troughs were constructed and 63,582 acres of fruit orchards were developed, boosting sustainable livelihoods among SC, ST, and BC communities in rural regions.
As many as 4,000 km of cement roads were built in backward colonies, and the government now plans to construct an additional equal length during this financial year, said the Deputy CM.
The state government partnered with SBI to offer insurance coverage of Rs 3 lakh to Rs 30 lakh for MGNREGS functionaries through a special MoU, Kalyan said.
He added that proposals worth Rs 87,000 crore were sent under the Jal Jeevan Mission, of which Rs 29,000 crore has already been approved by the Centre.
It is a central plan aimed at providing drinking water through taps to households in rural India.

Suspended IPS officer PSR Anjaneyulu's arrest highlights harassment allegations involving actor Kadambari Jethwani. TDP claims accountability for previous regime's misuse of power.

Senior IPS Officer Arrested in Harassment Case

In Andhra Pradesh, suspended IPS officer PSR Anjaneyulu has been arrested over harassment charges related to actor Kadambari Jethwani. This move is seen as a step towards accountability for alleged abuses of power by the former YSRCP regime.

Senior IPS officer arrested over allegations of harassment

PSR Anjaneyulu, a suspended IPS officer, has been arrested over harassment allegations involving actor Kadambari Jethwani. Previously aligned with YSRCP, his actions spurred controversy. TDP hails this arrest as a step towards justice.

Andhra Pradesh CID Police reportedly arrested suspended senior police officer and former intelligence chief PSR Anjaneyulu from Hyderabad on Tuesday over his alleged role in harassing Mumbai-based actor- model, Kadambari Narendra Kumar Jethwani.
Anjaneyulu is one of the three IPS officers who are under suspension for allegedly "hastily arresting" and "harassing" Jethwani without proper investigation in a case filed against her during the erstwhile YSRCP regime. Vishal Gunni and Kanthi Ratan Tata are the other two IPS officers.
While top police officials and sources remained tight-lipped about the development, a section of media houses, besides the ruling TDP claimed that Anjaneyulu has been 'arrested.' "IPS officer PSR Anjaneyulu has been arrested for harassing a woman (Jethwani) under the directions of (former CM and YSRCP chief) Jagan Reddy, mobilising the entire government machinery," said TDP in a post on 'X'.
Working as the intelligence chief during the erstwhile YSRCP government, Anjaneyulu toed YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's line and claimed that harassing a woman (Jethwani) is a "known fact".
According to TDP, the previous government used all its might to subdue a woman (Jethwani) and compel her to "submit" but asserted that the TDP-led government is doing "justice" to her now.
Anjaneyulu, former Vijayawada Police Commissioner Tata and Gunni, then Deputy Commissioner of Police, Vijayawada were suspended last year after an inquiry revealed their role in the alleged harassment of the model.
In connection with this case, TDP said YSRCP leader Kukkala Vidyasagar has already been arrested while the three officials were suspended and Anjaneyulu arrested today.

Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu pledges support to aquaculture farmers hit by US tariffs, promises fair shrimp prices, freshwater supply, and trade negotiations with EU and South Korea.

US tariffs unexpected problem, will stand by aquaculture sector: Andhra CM Naidu

Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu pledges support to aquaculture farmers hit by US tariffs, promises fair shrimp prices, freshwater supply, and trade negotiations with EU and South Korea.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has pledged to stand by the state's aquaculture sector battered by US President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs.
Aquaculture is the southern state's fourth largest sector, contributing nearly 9 per cent of the gross value added (GVA) in 2024-25 at more than Rs 1.3 lakh crore.
For 2025-26, the chief minister has set a GVA sub-sector contribution target of 9 per cent at more than Rs 1.54 lakh crore for aquaculture.
"The issue plaguing the aqua (culture) sector now is an unexpected one. However, there is no need to panic. Let's all strive together to solve the problem," Naidu said in a press release on Monday.
The chief minister also agreed to the request of aquaculture farmers to supply freshwater to their ponds as it would diminish diseases and viruses to improve yield.
He also directed traders to buy 100 count shrimp (around 100 shrimp per kilogramme) at a price of Rs 220 to assure a profitable proposition for farmers.
With shrimp exporters informing Naidu that free trade agreements with South Korea and the European Union would help them, the chief minister said he would speak to the Centre on the issue, among other efforts, to bail them out.
He also promised to set up a committee to comprehensively address the sector's issues.
Meanwhile, Naidu's predecessor YS Jagan Mohan Reddy slammed the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government for "ignoring farmers' distress" amid a crash in shrimp prices.
Shrimp prices have plummeted from Rs 280 per 100 count to Rs 200-210, Reddy said and alleged ruling coalition-linked traders formed a syndicate to exploit farmers amid global tariff concerns.

Andhra High Court upholds lesbian couple’s right to live together, parents told not to ‘interfere’

The Court on Tuesday directed the parents not to interfere with the relationship of the couple, asserting that their daughter is major and can make her own decisions.

The Andhra Pradesh High Court has upheld the right of a lesbian couple to live together, affirming their freedom to choose partners.
A bench comprising Justices R Raghunandan Rao and K Maheswara Rao was hearing a habeas corpus petition filed by Kavitha (name changed), one of the women, alleging that her partner Lalitha (name changed) was detained by her father against her will and kept her at his residence in Narsipatnam.
The Court on Tuesday further directed the parents of Lalitha not to interfere with the relationship of the couple, asserting that their daughter is a major and can make her own decisions.
The couple has been &ldquo;living together&rdquo; for the past year in Vijayawada.
Based on a missing complaint by Kavitha earlier, police traced Laitha at her father&rsquo;s home, and rescued her. After that, she was kept at a welfare home for 15 days though she pleaded to the police that she was a major and wanted to live with her partner.
Lalitha also lodged a complaint against her father in September alleging that her parents are harassing her over the relationship and other issues.
After the police intervention, Lalitha came back to Vijayawada and started going to work, often meeting her partner.
However, Lalitha&rsquo;s father once again came to her place and took the daughter away forcibly in a vehicle. He kept her in his custody &ldquo;unlawfully&rdquo;, Kavitha alleged in her habeas corpus petition.
The father also lodged a complaint with police alleging that his daughter was abducted by Kavitha and her family members.
Jada Sravan Kumar, counsel for Kavitha, pointing out earlier Supreme Court judgments, argued that the detenue has expressed her unequivocal consent to cohabit with the petitioner in a shared household of the petitioner&rsquo;s parents and would never want to get back to her parents and other family members.
Kumar also informed the court that Lalitha had also expressed her desire to withdraw the complaint she lodged against her parents if she&rsquo;d be allowed to live with the petitioner.
The Vijayawada police on Tuesday produced Lalitha before the High Court following the court&rsquo;s direction.
The Bench while disposing of the petition, also made an observation that no criminal proceedings be initiated against the family members of Lalitha as she was willing to withdraw the complaint.

About 15 workers injured in accident at cement factory in Andhra

Following the incident, some labourers barged into the cement factory's office and broke some window panes and indulged in vandalism. 

Following the incident, some labourers barged into the cement factory's office and broke some window panes and indulged in vandalism.

Around 15 workers suffered injuries, including five seriously, at a cement factory here on Sunday, said a police official.
Nandigama assistant commissioner of police B Ravi Kiran said when workers were on the second floor, some extremely hot material used in cement manufacture fell on them from the third floor at the Budawada Ultra Tech cement factory in Jaggaiahpeta mandal of NTR district.
"There was no blast, but a large amount of material fell down from the third floor to the second floor. Because of this hot material many people suffered burn injuries," Kiran told PTI.
According to the ACP, the accident occurred around 11.30 am and the injured included locals and north Indians.
Meanwhile, some labourers barged into the cement factory's office and broke some window panes and indulged in vandalism, prompting police to reach the spot and bring the situation under control.
Reacting to the industrial accident, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu directed officials to ensure better treatment for the injured workers.
According to an official statement, Naidu instructed officials to submit a report on the cause of the accident and take steps against those responsible for it.

Scrapping the Muslim quota was a key poll promise of the BJP, but ally TDP -- crucial to NDA government formation -- has promised to continue the reservation in Andhra Pradesh.

With TDP backing 4% Muslim quota in Andhra Pradesh, BJP forced to walk back on promise?

Scrapping the Muslim quota was a key poll promise of the BJP, but ally TDP -- crucial to NDA government formation -- has promised to continue the reservation in Andhra Pradesh.

Even as the National Democratic Alliance led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prepares to form the government at the Centre, allies don't agree on all policies and proposals of the saffron party.
The biggest point of contention is the 4 per cent reservation provided to Muslims in states like Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Scrapping the Muslim quota and redistributing it among Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs) and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) was a key poll promise of the BJP.&nbsp;
In 2023, the BJP government in Karnataka scrapped the 4 per cent reservation for Muslims, and redistributed it among Vokkaligas and Lingayats. Its next target was supposed to be Andhra Pradesh, despite opposition from ally Telugu Desam Party (TDP).
But the balance of power has shifted after Chandrababu Naidu's party swept the Assembly elections. TDP also has 16 seats in the Lok Sabha, making it the second largest party in the NDA, and crucial to government formation at the Centre.&nbsp;
In the run-up to the oath-taking ceremony, Naidu's son Nara Lokesh ruled out removing the Muslim quota in Andhra Pradesh. In an interview with NDTV he said, "It (reservation for Muslims) has been going around for the last two decades and we stand by it. We intend to continue it."
"It's a fact that minorities continue to suffer and have the lowest per capita income. As a government, it is my responsibility to bring them out of poverty. So whatever decisions I take are not for appeasement, but to bring them out of poverty," Lokesh added.
The silence from the BJP suggests the party has been forced to walk back on its promise in Andhra. The question is, what about other states?&nbsp;

Chandrababu Naidu's TDP is leading in 130 out of the 175 assembly seats, while Pawan Kalyan's Jana Sena is leading in 20 seats and BJP in 7 seats. 

Andhra Pradesh assembly polls result: Naidu's TDP well on its way to dethrone YSRCP 

Chandrababu Naidu's TDP is leading in 130 out of the 175 assembly seats, while Pawan Kalyan's Jana Sena is leading in 20 seats and BJP in 7 seats.&nbsp;

The ruling YSRCP is headed for a shocking defeat, as BJP and its coalition partners&mdash;TDP and Jana Sena&mdash;are on their way to sweep the Andhra Pradesh assembly elections.&nbsp;
According to early trends shown by the Election Commission, Chandrababu Naidu's TDP is leading in 130 out of the 175 assembly seats, while Pawan Kalyan's Jana Sena is leading in 20 seats and BJP in 7 seats.&nbsp;
Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy's YSRCP, which stormed to power in 2019 by winning 151 seats, is leading only in 18 seats this time. &nbsp;

Almost all of the exit polls have predicted a landslide win for the NDA coalition in Andhra Pradesh.  

Counting of votes for Andhra, Odisha assembly elections begins

Almost all of the exit polls have predicted a landslide win for the NDA coalition in Andhra Pradesh.&nbsp;&nbsp;

While all eyes will be on the Lok Sabha election results, the counting of votes for the Andhra Pradesh and Odisha assembly elections are also taking place simultaneously on Tuesday. The assembly polls for Odisha and Andhra Pradesh were held alongside the Lok Sabha polls.&nbsp;
In Andhra, Jagan Mohan Reddy-led YSRCP is facing a tough fight from the Congress-led INDIA coalition and the BJP-led NDA coalition that comprise Chandrababu Naidu&rsquo;s TDP and the Pawan Kalyan's JSP for 25 Lok Sabha and 175 assembly seats.&nbsp;
Almost all of the exit polls have predicted a landslide win for the NDA coalition.&nbsp;

In 2019, YSRCP secured a landslide victory, winning 151 of the 175 Assembly seats with a 49.95 per cent vote share. The TDP could only secure 23 seats with 39.17 per cent of the votes while the remaining seat went to the Jana Sena.
In Odisha, Naveen Patnaik-led BJD is facing a resurgent BJP. Major exit polls have predicted a neck-and-neck battle for 147 assembly and 21 Lok Sabha seats.&nbsp;

She went door-to-door, meeting people and discussing issues of the constituency.

She also provided financial assistance to the bereaved families.
Following in the footsteps of her mother-in-law, Nara Brahmani, wife of N Lokesh, began canvassing for her husband on April 20 in Mangalagiri, where he unsuccessfully contested in 2019 assembly polls.
Brahmani, Executive Director of family-run Heritage Foods Ltd interacted with some farmers in Bethapudi village in Mangalagiri.

She also interacted with several women groups during the campaign.

The BJP will contest six Lok Sabha and 10 assembly seats while the TDP will fight 17 Lok Sabha and 144 state seats.

NDA seat-sharing for Andhra Pradesh: BJP gets 6, TDP 17 | Lok Sabha elections 2024

The BJP will contest six Lok Sabha and 10 assembly seats while the TDP will fight 17 Lok Sabha and 144 state seats.

Andhra Pradesh NDA partners finalised their seat-sharing formula for the Lok Sabha and state polls following a marathon discussion on Monday, under which the BJP will contest six Lok Sabha and 10 assembly seats while the TDP will fight 17 parliamentary and 144 state seats.
Under the deal, Pawan Kalyan's JanaSena will contest two Lok Sabha and 21 assembly seats, TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu announced after the meeting.
Senior BJP leader and Union Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat went into a huddle with TDP supremo Naidu and JanaSena chief Kalyan in Amaravati to finalise seat-sharing for the upcoming Parliamentary and Assembly elections.
"In Amaravati today, the BJP, TDP and JSP (Janasena) forged a formidable seat-sharing formula. With this significant step, the people of Andhra Pradesh now stand on the threshold of reclaiming our state and paving the way for a brighter future. I humbly call upon my people of Andhra Pradesh to shower their blessings upon this alliance, and grant us a historic mandate to serve them," said Naidu in a post on X.
The state has 25 Lok Sabha and 175 assembly seats.
JanaSena was initially supposed to contest 24 assembly and three Lok Sabha seats, but in the seat-sharing formula it got 21 assembly and two Lok Sabha seats, after the TDP joined the NDA alliance recently.
The 2024 polls will be the first time the three parties are contesting the polls together. Back in 2014, when TDP and BJP fought the polls together, JanaSena was their outside ally.
The TDP and JanaSena have announced the names of 100 candidates already, and Naidu said the respective parties will name other candidates soon.
According to the TDP supremo, the Monday brainstorming exercise sought to forge a formidable combination of seats for every alliance partner that truly represents the people of Andhra Pradesh and their aspirations.
Meanwhile, TDP sources said that the state's opposition party have invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to attend an election meeting which could take place between March 17 and 20.
"We have invited Modi for the meeting, mostly he will come for the meeting, date is not yet finalised. We proposed March 17 but a day here and there, mostly Modi will be there. Between March 17 and 20 it will happen. That will be a good way to kick off the campaign. Modi, Naidu, Pawan, all together," the sources added.
Another TDP source emphasised that if Modi participates in this meeting, it could be the first time in a decade that Modi, Naidu and Kalyan would be sharing stage.&nbsp;

Jagan Reddy's sister spends night in Congress office fearing 'house arrest'

YS Sharmila spends a night at the Congress office fearing that she might be put under 'house arrest' for leading the 'Chalo Secretariat' protest in Andhra.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and YSRCP chief Jagan Mohan Reddy's sister YS Sharmila has accused him of attempting to put her on house arrest. Sharmila said she spent the night at the Congress party office in Vijayawada to prevent the action.
In a viral video, Sharmila can be seen lying on a cot on the floor of the party office.
She wrote in a post on X, "If we call for protest on behalf of the unemployed, will you try to keep us under house arrest? Don't we have the right to protest in a democracy? Is it not shameful that as a woman I have been forced to evade the police and spend the night in the Congress Party office to avoid house arrest?"&nbsp;
The video surfaced a day after Sharmila led Congress workers in a 'Chalo Secretariat' protest. The Congress has accused the Jagan Reddy-government of failed to address concerns of youth, unemployed and students.

Andhra Pradesh train accident | train crew jumped defective signals, finds probe: report

The loco pilot and his assistant were responsible for the train crash in Andhra Pradesh, an initial probe has said.

A preliminary railway probe into the Sunday night accident in Andhra Pradesh has held the driver and the assistant driver of the Rayagada Passenger train responsible for the collision as it passed two defective auto signals violating norms. Both crew members were killed in the accident.
Signed by seven experts, the preliminary report said they carefully examined the accident site, available evidence, statements of officials concerned, data logger report and the speedometer chart.
It concluded that the Rayagada passenger train (08504) hit the Visakhapatnam Palasa passenger train (08532) from the rear due to the crew of the former passing two defective auto signals.
"Hence, LP (loco pilot), S M S Rao, ALP (Assistant Loco Pilot) of Train no 08504 (Rayagada Passenger train) held responsible," the report, accessed by PTI, said.
According to the railway norm, the train should have stopped for two minutes at the defective auto signals and then started at 10 kmph which it didn't do, leading to the collision, the report said.
The Rayagada Passenger train hit the Visakhapatnam Palasa Ttrain from behind at 7 pm on October 29 on the Howrah-Chennai line in Kantakapalli in Vizianagaram district of Andhra Pradesh, killing 14 and injuring over 50 train passengers.
