ANDHRA PRADESH – The state’s top official, Chandrababu Naidu, asserted that his administration required 20 months to undo alleged missteps from the prior government and steer the state toward renewed progress. Speaking at a grama sabha in Kothaburju, Dhone Assembly constituency, on Monday, Naidu characterized the period as a necessary correction to a development trajectory he claims had been diverted.
The Chief Minister framed the 20-month period as essential for "rectifying wrongdoings" of the previous administration and realigning the state with development goals. He suggested that sustained growth, akin to what he observed in Gujarat, necessitates consecutive terms for a government to implement its vision. Naidu also directed the district administration to address specific local concerns raised during the gathering.
During the interaction with farmers, Naidu emphasized the need for governmental continuity to foster long-term advancement. He reportedly drew a parallel with the development model of Gujarat, implying that similar uninterrupted governance could yield comparable results in Andhra Pradesh. The precise nature of the "wrongdoings" was not elaborated upon in this context.

Separately, the local representative, Dhone MLA Kotla Suryaprakash Reddy, presented a proposal to the Chief Minister. Reddy formally requested the merger of Dhone with the Kurnool district, an issue Naidu indicated he would have the district administration examine. The grama sabha served as a platform for both broader policy statements and localized administrative appeals.
