No second thoughts on issues: Naidu
Context:
Recently, Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu has said that the Union government’s “indifferent approach” and “failure in implementing the A.P. Reorganisation Act and assurances given in Parliament” would not deter Andhra Pradesh from achieving its target of becoming the world’s preferred destination by 2050.
Details:
- According to Naidu, the State government has been determined to make Andhra Pradesh one of the top three States by 2020 and the number one State in the country by 2029
- Mr. Naidu, however, added that Andhra Pradesh would be a loser if only “fighting mode” was adopted.
- The government had “no second thoughts” on realising the rights of the State. The fight would continue until the Centre fulfilled its bifurcation promises.
- Mr. Naidu said the government’s goal was to ensure that every family had one digitally literate person. The government would impart training in digital literacy to one crore people in 2018-19.
- Other goals include inter-linking of five A.P. rivers, the Polavaram project and the construction of a greenfield capital Amaravati
