Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has lined up four flagship programmes for launching here on October 2 as part of his commitment to attach more importance to the Capital city.

The programmes are Janmabhoomi-Ma Vooru, NTR Sujala Sravanthi, NTR Bharosa and Clean Andhra Pradesh. The Chief Minister will also unveil his vision for the ‘Make in A.P’ campaign which is aimed at attracting investments in the manufacturing sector.

Mr. Naidu will participate in a ‘Padayatra’ from Prakash Nagar to sensitize people about the government’s initiatives, along with other people’s representatives.

Chief Secretary I.Y.R. Krishna Rao and other top officials will be taking part in the programmes. He will visit the districts before Janmabhoomi-Ma Vooru programme concludes on Oct. 20.

The district collectors have been instructed to appoint nodal officers at the mandal-level to ensure proper implementation of the programmes. Officials of the Revenue and various departments are already on the job of preparing action plans for improving basic amenities and identifying beneficiaries under NTR Bharosa and other schemes.

The Chief Minister will reach Vijayawada in a special aircraft at 10 a.m. and launch NTR Sujala Sravanthi scheme at Dabakottu Centre and NTR Bharosa at Makineni Basavapunnaiah stadium, where he will address a public meeting before breaking for lunch at the State guesthouse between 1.30 p.m. and 2.30 p.m. He will embark on his return journey at 3.45 p.m.

Police Commissioner A.B. Venkateswara Rao reviewed arrangements made for the Chief Minister’s visit which comes on the penultimate day of Dasara festivities atop Indrakeeladri which is receiving heavy influx of devotees from Tuesday.

Special Correspondent adds from Hyderabad: The Congress has asked its workers to confront officials on the failure of the Andhra Pradesh government to implement its promises when the latter visited villages as part of the Janmabhoomi programme from Thursday.

The Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president N. Raghuveera Reddy and former Minister S. Sailajanath told a press conference that the Congress workers would protest in Gandhian style to voice the demands of the people during the grama sabhas as part of Janmabhoomi.

Mr. Reddy said the government lacked conviction to include the demands of the Congress in the minutes of the programme circulated to the Collectors. Out of a feeling of guilt that the government did not keep its election promises, the ruling Telugu Desam Party even removed the manifesto from its website. Among the failures, Mr. Reddy highlighted the delay in waiving loans of farmers and issuing notification for recruitment of teachers. The notification was promised by Teachers Day on Sept. 5.
