Supporters urge Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu to prioritize state development, fulfill promises, and complete pending projects swiftly.
The new government headed by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu should make development of the State its primary focus, its supporters said.
Mr. Naidu and his Cabinet must ensure that they deliver on all of their election promises and complete all pending projects at the earliest, including construction of the capital city of Amaravati.
The TDP activists and supporters, who gathered in large numbers at LED screens erected at various places for telecast of the swearing-in ceremony, expressed their happiness at the victory of Mr. Naidu and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the elections.
LED screens were erected at Pandit Nehru Bus Station (PNBS), Vijayawada Railway Station, Alankar Centre, S.R.K. Engineering College, Polytechnic College Grounds, Makineni Basavapunnaiah Stadium, Indira Gandhi Municipal Corporation (IGMC) Stadium, Ambedkar Smrithi Vanam and a few other places, said Collector S. Dilli Rao.
Officials erected LED screens across the State and arranged for live telecast of the swearing-in ceremony on Wednesday.
“Andhra Pradesh has been without a capital for the last five years. Mr. Naidu should take steps for construction of the capital immediately,” said Srishita, a student.
People watching the proceedings on the LED screens at various public places discussed the thumping majority won by the NDA and how the election unfolded. Many were engrossed in analysing the distribution of Cabinet berths among the TDP, JSP and BJP and how they were looking forward to the first Assembly session under the new government.

In , the grape capital of India and host of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela every 12 years, environmental concerns over a plan to cut 1,800 trees for the proposed Sadhugram project in the historic Tapovan area have sharpened political fault lines ahead of local body elections. The issue has pitted both Sena factions against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which leads the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra. While Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief, and Uddhav Thackeray, chief of the Shiv Sena (UBT), remain political rivals, their parties have found rare common ground in Tapovan, where authorities propose clearing trees across 34 acres to build Sadhugram and a MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) hub, as part of a ₹300-crore infrastructure push linked to the pilgrimage.
