Amaravati, February 14, 2026: Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu told the assembly that Andhra Pradesh was left in critical condition, metaphorically on a ventilator due to past mismanagement, heavy debts, and issues like unpaid electricity dues exceeding Rs 1.2 lakh crore.
His coalition government has released white papers exposing these problems and is now driving revival through balanced welfare and development.
Key steps include flagship schemes like higher pensions, farmer support, free LPG cylinders for women, and child aid programs.
The state has attracted major investments, claiming 25.6% of India's FDI inflows recently, with expectations of Rs 20 lakh crore in commitments creating 23 lakh jobs over five years.
Infrastructure pushes cover irrigation revival, including Polavaram completion by 2027 railways, highways, quantum computing in Amaravati, green energy, and health initiatives like digital records with international partnerships.
