“We are focussing on attracting investments to AP, and the TDP-led NDA Government has decided to constitute a special task force to provide suggestions to the government on industrial development,” CM ChandrababuNaidu said.

Chandrababu Naidu had shared the concept of skill census while releasing the NDA’s electoral manifesto. The exercise is expected to revolutionise the State’s workforce by aligning individual skills with appropriate training programmes, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency and employability of the youth.

It was 2018 when Naidu left the NDA coalition, a year ahead of the 2019 general elections, in demand of Special Category Status for Andhra Pradesh. And, this time, the situation appears like a double-edged sword for him.

Addressing a public meeting at Banaganapalli in Nandyala district as part of his Prajagalam election campaign tour, Naidu said as soon as NDA forms the government in the state, he will take all measures to develop Rayalaseema region within 45 days.

“The ego of Andhra Pradesh CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy will collapse after May 13th (election day),” said Naidu, addressing people as part of his Prajagalam election campaign tour.

On the second day of YSRCP’s ‘Memanta Siddham’ (we are all ready) bus tour, the chief minister conducted a gram sabha (village meeting) in Yerraguntla and interacted with the villagers. He informed them that he had extended the village welfare schemes worth Rs 49 crore.

As far as Lok Sabha and assembly elections are concerned, the alliance among Bharatiya Janata Party-TDP-Jana Sena in Andhra Pradesh is forged with an aim to end the rule of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. However, problems for Naidu does not end with this.

Senior leaders of the two parties held separate meetings on Wednesday and dropped hints of such a possibility.

Of the total of 175 seats in the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly, the TDP-JSP Combine announced seat-sharing for 118 constituencies in its first official list. This has allowed the partners to make space for BJP if it decides to officially join forces. There is still suspense over the saffron party joining the alliance.

As per the CID chargesheet, Naidu had approved the estimate of the Fibernet project because no market survey was done for the prices of the items or the standards to be followed.

Suppose Naidu returns to the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance. In that case, he will be the second major regional leader to have done so after Janata Dal (United) president and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar snapped ties with the opposition and joined its fold last month.

At a time when both the opposition parties are required to put up a united fight to dislodge the YSR Congress government headed by YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, the differences have cropped up over assessing their mutual strengths at the ground level.
