    Amaravati: Gearing up for next year’s Assembly elections in Andhra Pradesh, the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) will undertake a ‘Jagan anna is our future’ campaign across the state next month.

    Chief Minister and YSRCP President Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Monday asked 5.6 lakh party secretariat convenors and ‘Gruha Saradhulu’ (household heads) to vigorously run the campaign from March 18 to 26.

    At an extended party meeting attended by MLAs, ministers, coordinators, regional coordinators and district unit presidents here on Monday, the Chief Minister told them that the party cadres should visit 1.65 crore households during the campaign, visiting door-to-door, spending time with the families and explain the slew of welfare programmes being implemented by the state government.

    They should explain to the people how the government is providing a transparent administration and taking the state forward with development compared to the TDP rule, he said.

    Party secretariat convenors should coordinate the five lakh ‘Gruha Saradhulu’ who have already been appointed and the remaining would be appointed by February 16, he said, adding that training has been completed for the first batch of party convenors and ‘Gruha Saradhulu’ in 387 mandals while the training for the second batch will be held from February 14 to 19.

    He asked the MLAs to participate in the training camps and motivate the party convenors and ‘Gruha Saradhulu’ and take up party programmes at the field level when the training is completed.

    Also reviewing the mass contact programme, ‘Gadapa Gadapaku’, he stressed that it is very important and party leaders should complete it in the stipulated time by meeting people and explaining them about the welfare and development programmes being implemented by the government.

    Reddy said the party cadres should go ahead with the programme explaining to the people about the false propaganda of the pro-TDP media which is trying to hoodwink the people and denigrate the image of the government for political gains.

    The Chief Minister was informed that the MLAs so far completed the ‘Gadapa Gadapaku’ programme in about 7,447 secretariats visiting six secretariats in a month on an average.

    He asked the district party presidents, MLAs and constituency observers to work in unison and bring victory to the party candidates in the forthcoming MLC elections being held for graduates and teachers constituencies.

  • TDP leader’s daughter gets assistance from Jagan government for study abroad

    TDP leader’s daughter gets assistance from Jagan government for study abroad

    [ad_1]

    Amaravati: Daughter of a leader belonging to opposition TDP in Andhra Pradesh will receive financial assistance of Rs 84 lakh from the state government to realise her dream of pursuing higher education in the US.

    Sailaja, daughter of Bodrothu Srinivasa Rao, a former sarpanch hailing from Sangam village in Vizianagaram district, is one of the beneficiaries under Jagananna Videshi Vidya Deevena, under which the government provides financial assistance to those who want to study abroad.

    She is one among the 213 students who have been selected as beneficiaries of the scheme. A few days ago Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy released the first installment of financial assistance under the scheme.

    According to the TDP leader, his daughter Sailaja went to the US to pursue higher studies and to make ends meet, he had to take a huge loan, whose repayment was his biggest cause of worry. However, thanks to Chief Minister Jagan Reddy’s revolutionary schemes in the field of education, Srinivasa Rao’s daughter is all set to receive financial aid of over Rs 84 lakh over the next two years under the Jagananna Videshi Vidya Devana scheme.

    Financial aid worth Rs 13,99,154 has been offered as the first instalment and a total of Rs 84 lakh financial help will be granted over the next two years, officials said.

    “My daughter studied at IIT in Hyderabad and went to the US. We took a loan for her education and were worried if we would ever be able to repay it. But today, my daughter got assistance via Jagananna Videshi Vidya Deevena Scheme. We will always be indebted to Jagananna. He is a revolutionary leader and for him welfare of the people is his only priority. Now, I want my daughter to complete her studies and return to Andhra Pradesh and contribute towards the state’s development,” said Srinivasa Rao.

    Sailaja, who is currently pursuing her Masters from the University of Washington in Seattle, expressed her gratitude to the Chief Minister. “Jagan garu, it is only because of you that students are able to pursue a privileged Masters degree like this. Thank you so much for this opportunity. This is among the top 100 universities of the world. I am really happy to be here,” she said.

    Under the Videshi Vidya Deevena scheme, the state government fully reimburses tuition fees to SC, ST, BC and minority students up to Rs 1.25 crore and up to Rs 1 crore to EBC students who have secured ranks in top 100 Universities.

    Similarly, 100 per cent tuition fee reimbursement would be made up to Rs 75 lakh to SC, ST, BC and minority students and up to Rs 50 lakh or 50 per cent of the tuition fee, whichever is less, for EBC students who secured admissions in the Universities ranked 100 to 200 as per the QS World University rankings.

    The financial assistance comes in the form of reimbursement for aspects like airfare and visa fee. Following the students’ receipt of their immigration cards (I-94), the first payment will be made; the second, following the results of the first semester; and the third, following the completion of the second and third semesters. The criteria is that the candidate’s annual family income should not exceed Rs 8 lakh.

  • Jagan richest CM in country facing graft charges: Pawan Kalyan

    Jagan richest CM in country facing graft charges: Pawan Kalyan

    [ad_1]

    Amaravati: Actor-politician Pawan Kalyan on Wednesday made a scathing attack on Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, terming him the richest Chief Minister in the country facing graft charges.

    The Jana Sena Party (JSP) leader ridiculed the Chief Minister’s recent remark that there is a class war going on in the state between the poor and the capitalists.

    In a series of tweets laced with sarcasm, Pawan hit out at Jagan Mohan Reddy.

    Pawan remarked that it is an irony that the richest CM in India with graft charges, who encourages bauxite mining in Araku, talks about ‘Class War’ like Comrades Charu Mazumdhar, omrade Tarimela NagiReddy, and Pucchalipalli Sundarayya.

    “Oxymoron (Noun) – Meaning – A Combination of Contradictory words. Ex – Andhra Pradesh is a State with Poor People run by the Richest CM of the Country Trivia – Our CM’s wealth is more than those of all the other CMs combined; AP CM, A “CLASS” apart!” was how Pawan Kalyan began his series of tweets.

    “In Andhra Pradesh there are no Classes, All People have been made as Slaves to the Fiefdom of YCP. From Land to Sand, From Liquor to Mines, from Forests to Hills, From Paper to Red Sandalwood every penny generated from AP is in the hands of the Richest CM, Truly CLASSic!,” he wrote.

    “YCP made the Poor in AP to remain content with mediocrity; their lives, dignity, hardwork are sold out for few hundreds of doles Middle Class is the most neglected in AP; YCP treats them as TAX Paying Mute Servants The Investors exit AP This is YCP’s “Master – CLASS”!,” went on the actor politician.

    “Who needs Davos when YCP can bring the galaxy of investments to Andhra; Our IT and Industries Minister has already inaugurated Noodles Centre and Chai Points, now only waiting for the IT Companies to be set up. Another CLASS Act!,” the JSP leader taunted minister Gudivada Amarnath.

    The minister hit back at Pawan, making some personal attacks on him to cite some examples of oxymoron.

    “Hope you or someone around you with an elementary knowledge of economics will be able to explain: 1) How was Andhra Pradesh able to grow its GSDP at 11.43% in FY22 – faster than any other state in the country? 2) How did Andhra Pradesh jump nine positions in per capita income levels, from 18th all India in 2019 to 9th in 2021? 3) How did our state top the Ease Of Doing Business rankings for 3 years in a row?,” tweeted the minister.

    “These are statistics that central government datasets cite, and a reality that all of Andhra Pradesh’s people toiled to realise. Are you discrediting the truth and their hard work with your baseless allegations and questions?” he added.

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy made a gala pitch in New Delhi on Tuesday calling global nations to invest in the state and be part of its economic growth.

    Addressing the International Diplomats Alliance Meet during a preparatory meeting for the Global Investors Summit to be held in Visakhapatnam on March 3 and 4, CM Jagan said, “As a fastest growing state in the country with a GSDP of 11.43%, Andhra Pradesh has achieved the number one rank in the Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) and has retained it for the third successive year.”

    Elaborating on the facilities and resources available in the state for industrial growth, CM Jagan said that out of the eleven industrial corridors being developed by the Centre across the country, AP shares space for three of them- Hyderabad to Bengaluru, Visakhapatnam to Chennai and Chennai to Bengaluru.

    “We have a single desk portal facility. You will get all kinds of permissions in 21 days. In terms of electricity, industries can be set up at affordable prices. AP has ample resources in terms of renewable energy too. There is an opportunity for 33,000 MW pumped storage projects,” he said.

    Agreeing with CM Jagan, president of Nasscom Debjani Ghosh said that the state has always been a leader in the adoption of technology.

    Bharat Biotech Co-Founder and Chairperson for CII Southern Region, Suchitra Ella, praised the State government’s initiative towards industries.

    “Countries of the world are looking towards India. It is gratifying to have single desk clearance in the state. AP has golden opportunities in the fields of agriculture, food processing, electronics and pharma. CM Jagan is also a visionary leader like his father Late YSR. CII will take the initiative to work with the AP government,” she said.
