CM Naidu Outlines Vision for Andhra Pradesh’s Economic Growth

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has reiterated his commitment to tackling economic inequality and raising the financial status of the poor while outlining his ambitious vision for the state’s future. 

During a PowerPoint presentation at the state Secretariat, Naidu emphasised the goal of transforming Andhra Pradesh into a $2.4 trillion economy with a per capita income of $42,000 by 2047. Stressing inclusive development, he stated, “We are committed to building a prosperous Andhra Pradesh, focusing on empowerment and development for all citizens.”
 
Criticising the previous government, Naidu blamed policies like the “three capitals” plan for halting progress in Amaravati and neglecting the Polavaram project. “No one dared to invest in the state due to the poor governance earlier,” he remarked. 

Naidu highlighted his administration’s focus on wealth creation through development, emphasising the role of IT and economic reforms in driving growth. “When I introduced IT in 1995, people mocked me. Today, it has elevated Telugus to the top income-earning group globally,” he said, adding that his Swarnandhra Vision-2047 includes ten key policies, with zero poverty as a priority. 

The Chief Minister announced that over Rs 4 trillion in investments have been secured since his government took office. Projects like the Amaravati development, Polavaram completion, and interlinking of the Godavari and Pennar rivers are underway, with a focus on making farming more profitable. 

To further modernise governance, Naidu revealed the launch of “WhatsApp governance” on January 18, enabling corruption-free services and enhancing welfare pension schemes. He also praised infrastructure improvements, stating that newly constructed pothole-free roads have delighted Sankranti travelers. 

Naidu concluded by pledging to achieve a 15% growth rate and implement second-generation economic reforms to position Andhra Pradesh and its people at the forefront of global progress.
