Chandrababu Naidu Aims for 15% Growth in Andhra Pradesh

In Amravati, Andhra Pradesh, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has called on officials to work hard to restore growth in all sectors by adopting new policies. He set a target of achieving a 15% growth rate. During a review meeting, he expressed concern over the regression in various sectors due to previous government policies, which led to economic challenges. Naidu emphasized the need for new policies to drive economic progress without adding financial burdens on the population. He highlighted the importance of mechanization in reducing farming costs and stressed the government's role in increasing people's incomes by strengthening sectors. Reflecting on past growth, Naidu noted that Andhra Pradesh had a 13.7% growth rate from 2014-19, but it dropped to 10.59% under the YSRCP government. He pointed out the widening growth rate gap with Telangana and the decline in per capita income. Naidu urged officials to improve Andhra Pradesh's rank in per capita income in the southern region. He announced the introduction of the P-4 system in January, encouraging the wealthy to uplift 10% of the population. He also called on organizations to mentor and improve the living conditions of the poor.
