No state has a growth rate of 11.2 per cent like AP: CM Jagan
Deccan ChronicleVIJAYAWADA: Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has said great changes have been brought in AP’s political system in the past four years while his government treated the Manifesto as a holy book by already implementing 98.5 per cent of the poll promises. Addressing the state Assembly’s Budget Session on Wednesday, the Chief Minister said AP has become a ‘role model state’ to the country through “innovative welfare and development activities,” and added that no other state has a growth rate better than the 11.2 per cent logged by AP this fiscal. The implementation of a plethora of welfare schemes in the past four years resulted in an 11.28 per cent growth rate for the state, he said. “YSRC is the only party that restricted politics to elections while implementing welfare schemes with transparency to cover all people irrespective of their caste, creed and religion.” The Chief Minister said the 13 districts and 51 revenue districts during the term of the previous government have now been transformed into 26 and 76 entities respectively as part of his efforts for decentralisation of the administration and to ensure balanced development of all regions.
