My Davos visit will help attract large scale investments to AP: CM Chandrababu Naidu

Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has felt that his visit to Davos to participate in the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2025 will come in handy to attract large scale investments to the State.

During an informal interaction with mediapersons at the TDP headquarters on Saturday, Naidu said networking with world class institutions and explaining the opportunities in Andhra Pradesh will enable the State to get more investments.

Asserting that all the opportunities in green energy and biofuel sectors will be fully utilised, the Chief Minister said 5,000 electric vehicle charging stations will be set up in the State in the near future.

Informing that farmers will get Rs 30,000 annuity per acre through the compressed bio gas (CBG) plants to be established by Reliance, he said the waste generated from the units will be utilised as fertiliser.

Potholes on roads across State will be filled by the end of February, says CM

“We have taken up the PM Surya Ghar scheme in every house of Kuppam Assembly constituency, and will expand it across the State in a phased manner. Full subsidy will be given for SC and STs to set up solar units. For other sections of people, the government will invest in implementation of the scheme, and take some amount of power till getting the investment back, he explained.

A sum of Rs 1.15 lakh is required for production of 2 KV solar power, and beneficiaries will have to bear the remaining burden excluding the subsidy provided by the Centre under the scheme. “We are planning to ensure 100% subsidy by way of the government getting some amount of solar power,” he said.

Mentioning that everyone can get income through the electric vehicle battery swapping system, Naidu said it will turn into a self-employment scheme. It will be taken up as a pilot project in Kuppam soon.

Extending Sankranti wishes to the people of the State, he said additional transport facilities are being provided to the people coming to their native places from the neighbouring States.

Claiming that changes are visible with the execution of road repairs in the State, he said all the potholes on roads will be filled by the end of February. All the road works will be completed in a phased manner to ensure a comfortable travel to the people, he said. Revealing that village/ward secretariats will be utilised more efficiently, he said the excess employees will be sent to the departments concerned. “We will bring changes in the lives of people by making use of drones, AI, IOT, CCTV cameras and Aadhaar cards. Better administration is possible by real time monitoring and analysis of the people’s information,” Naidu opined.

He also said the programmes like Happy Sunday will be revived to develop community friendship.

Naidu pays tributes to freedom fighter Obanna

CM N Chandrababu Naidu, along with TDP leaders, paid floral tributes to Vadde Obanna, a first-generation freedom fighter, on his birth anniversary at the TDP office. The State government recently issued orders making Vadde Obanna’s birth anniversary a state festival.

“The Sepoy Mutiny of 1857 is called the First War of Independence. But even before that, in 1846, Vadde Obanna, along with Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy, fought heroically to uphold the self-respect of the Telugu people against the atrocities of the British. We have decided to officially celebrate Obanna Jayanti with the intention of informing the history of the hero of that time, Vadde Obanna, to today’s generations. Let us remember the heroic story of that great man, the beloved BC child and freedom fighter, Vadde Obanna on his birthday,” Naidu posted on X.
