Is Andhra Pradesh developing under Chandrababu Naidu? by Subramanyam

The answer is a big Yes, Most of the people who answered here are either not residing in Andhra Pradesh or they aren’t aware of things happening in AP.

This time CBN became CM for a state that doesn’t have a capital and with a government deficit of about 17k Crores.

He has been converting crisis into an opportunity from Day 1 let me make you to go through the things happened in the state after he taking charge as CM in 2014.

HUDHUD in 2014

After he took charge in 2014 HUDHUD was an uninvited guest it was the biggest cyclone in Vizag’s history as a Viziagite i knew it personally, my parents witnessed it. When HudHud hit Vizag i’m in Hyderabad, When things restored i called my mother and she said how harsh mother nature was. AP under the leadership of CBN is completely prepared and CBN brought normalcy in a week. He brought most of the government employees to Vizag and made them work to get things under control. In our area power was restored in 3 days, in Villages it took 5–6 days. He is the first one to reach Vizag after HUDHUD hit Vizag, he worked in a bus and brought things under control. He gave stern warnings to telecom operators and made them to restore their networks ASAP.

After 3 years recently this happened, Kudos to GVMC and AP Government.

Vizag

He is trying hard to make Vizag an IT Hub. There is a huge tower construction going on Similar to Cyber Towers in Hyderabad named Millennium Tower. Once it’s done we can see things moving in a faster pace. There is even a lot of Pitching going on for promoting Vizag as a Fintech Valley.

TU-142 is brought to Vizag and that is being made as a museum, there are even plans of bringing INS Viraat to Vizag the talks are still happening. New Glass domed train to Araku

Rise of Amaravati

According to me Amaravati is the right place to be chosen as a capital it has got both the historical significance and the needed resources to be the futuristic capital of AP. Amaravati, a place with great heritage running back over 2000 years. No where in Independent India 30,000 acres of land is pooled voluntarily, it’s CBN’s innovative idea of land pooling that’s a win-win for both the government and farmers. Many states today are adopting CBN’s land pooling scheme for developmental activities in their states. Made Singapore Government to prepare master plan for Amaravati for free of cost.

Appointed Fosters + Partners as the architects for the government complex. Here is the master plan that was recently submitted to Government of Andhra Pradesh by Foster + Partners. By looking at it I am sure and confident that Amaravati will be India's and one of world's best city. Brace yourself Chandigarh we are going to steal best city tag from you in two decades. This is the final design of our assembly building that is going to come up at our World class Amaravati.

For closely working with people of AP he wanted to shift from Hyderabad, With in 197 days he is able to do this in Amaravati

 

Temporary Secretariat and Assembly are up and now functioning, Seed Axis roadworks are happening in full Swing. VIT, SRM started constructing their campuses in Amaravati. AIIMS construction started in Amaravati. Guntur to have it’s first five star hostel from ITC that is soon going to be inaugurated.

Singapore Government and AP Government signed an MOU recently. Singapore Government Consortium will develop a 6.58 Km of start up area which will be almost 16 times bigger and better than the Raheja Mind space in Hyderabad which was built when he was the erstwhile CM of AP.

Agriculture

There is myth that CBN never cares about Agriculture, but he is going shut all of their mouths with his work. He waived off about 24,000 Crores of loans for farmers, UP is going to study our loan waiver scheme. Almost 13,000 crores are done till now and the remaining will be done in the next couple of years. For the first time in the country a special Budget for Agriculture was introduced.

In the last 3 years there are about 3.11 lakhs of Farm Ponds are being digged in AP. Data shows that Centre has built only 5,78,589 farm ponds. Andhra Pradesh has built 3,11,361 farm ponds, which is the highest by any State.

He is planning to build 20,000 check dams in an year. AP government, along with ISRO, has prepared an action plan to meet drinking water and irrigation needs in drought-prone areas, programme will be launched in Rayalaseema region soon.

Rain Guns and innovative way of saving crop in drought is being brought in place.

Special care for Polavaram the life line of AP, Made Every first day of Week Monday as Polavaram Day and inspecting it on weekly basics, after many years works are moving at faster pace, i’m sure polavaram will be completed under his leadership.

When states like TN and Karanataka are fighting for Cauvery water he built a Lift Irrigation project called Patissema Lift and sent 100+ TMC of water to Drought hit Rayalaseema.

AP is the first state in India to launch Plantix App for the farmers it can provide the information about the disease for the crop if any just with a photograph.

It’s 100% cashless, every house is connected with AP Fibre(Government Internet and Cable Connection), Water conservation, 100% ODF, Village is completely WiFi enabled, every citizen has a bank account and a solid waste management system.
