VIJAYAWADA: Lanka Dinkar, Chairman of the Andhra Pradesh 20-Point Program Implementation Committee, praised the coalition government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu for its achievements in the first year of governance. Speaking at the Secretariat, he congratulated both leaders on completing a year in office following their 2024 electoral victory.
Dinkar noted that reviews were conducted across all 26 districts to evaluate the implementation of central and state-sponsored schemes. He cited the success of welfare programs like PM Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana, SVANIDHI, Vishwakarma, Suryagarh, and Jal Jeevan Mission, with added state support for SCs, STs, and BCs.
