Even at the age of 74 years, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu strives hard for public welfare. In his fourth term as the CM of the state, Naidu has so many challenges to overcome if all the poll promises made in the manifesto are to be realised in the coming days despite the impending financial crunch.
Despite all this, Naidu is making every effort to maintain a close affinity with the masses. Immediately after coming to power, he directed all his MLAs and MPs to make sure that they don’t cut access with the people in their respective constituencies. He instructed them to sit in the party and take public grievances.
Now, Naidu himself is following the same as he directed officials to conduct a Praja Darbar ( Public Interaction) on every Saturday at the party office in Mangalagiri Vijayawada to allow people across the state to lodge their complaints. A toll free number has been set up exclusively for this purpose.
On first Saturday, thousands of people from many districts thronged the party office to meet Naidu. Despite a restriction of 500 grievances per day, many people barged into the office and expressed their problems to Naidu. With a lot of patience and humility, Naidu personally interacted with majority of them and gave assurance.
What was shocking to those present there was Naidu’s perseverance through out his interaction. He spent more than 3 hours in the office and made sure that no one was disappointed for coming from long distance. All this time, Naidu was standing with comfort and ease showing no signs of strain.
While Jagan never came out of his Tadepalli palace when he was in power, Naidu is making sure he will not lose connection with the people despite his busy schedule as CM.
