Chandra Babu faces a daunting task in fulfilling the promises

Chandra Babu faces a daunting task in fulfilling the promises.The state is facing significant challenges with an almost empty treasury and expenditures exceeding income. In addition, there is an urgent need to focus on development and basic facilities. Completing the Polavaram project and making steady progress towards establishing a new capital are also crucial. Amid these challenges, the 25 guarantees assured by the alliance are generating widespread discussion. Many believe fulfilling these promises will be a significant task.

Observers note that the alliance made numerous promises to gain power, with Chandrababu Naidu being the primary proponent. However, forming the government is just the first step; implementing these schemes is equally crucial. The big question is how these schemes will be funded, as they require massive financial resources. The alliance had committed to implementing some promises immediately after coming to power, and any delay could have a substantial impact.

Despite these concerns, TDP supporters have faith in Chandrababu Naidu’s experience. They believe that the political dynamics at the Centre, with TDP and Janasena becoming crucial to the Modi government, will ensure that Andhra Pradesh receives significant support, unlike in the past. This support is essential for the state to see meaningful change.

As the alliance celebrates its big win, reflecting on the 25 promises might temper the initial euphoria. Here are some of the crucial promises made:

First Signature on Mega DSC

Rs 4000 pension for elders

Rs 6000 pension for specially-abled people

Rs 1500 per month for every woman aged 18 and above
