YSR Congress party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Thursday asserted that his government would make all out efforts to save the lives of the people during the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.

Chandrababu Naidu has a reason now to put his political efforts seriously.

After a gap of two months, the Andhra Pradesh government on Thursday presented the state annual budget for 2020-21, reflecting the priorities of chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy in extending welfare to all sections of people.

The budget session of the Andhra Pradesh legislative assembly began here on Thursday. In his address, delivered in virtual mode from the Raj Bhavan, to members of both Houses, governor Biswabhushan Harichandan expressed his sympathies for the victims of Covid.

KIA India Pvt Ltd has contributed Rs 5 crore to Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (APSDMA) towards Covid-19 containment measures, an official release from the state government said.

With the Covid pandemic putting pressure on manpower resources, Andhra Pradesh has turned its attention to improvement of medical and health training capabilities. Chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said that 16 teaching hospitals will be set up in the state.

Andhra Pradesh has done far better than the nation as a whole in achieving the growth rate in gross state domestic product, the Jagan Mohan Reddy government claimed on Wednesday.

The Andhra Pradesh state high court on Wednesday charged the Jagan Mohan Reddy government with contempt of court for not following the court orders in connection with the arrest of rebel YSR Congress MP from Narasapuram parliamentary constituency K Raghurama Krishnam Raju.

For the last few months, Telugu Desam Party, the main opposition in Andhra Pradesh, has been taking up the cause of Hindutva more than the Bharatiya Janata Party which is actually supposed to champion the cause of Hindus.

Telugu Desam Party president and former Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu’s inconsistent stand on any issue just to gain political mileage is forcing his loyalists to quit the party one after the other.
