Triple engine Sarkar in state aims to achieve ‘Viksit Swarna’

Visakhapatnam: To achieve ‘Viksit Bharat – Swarna Andhra Pradesh’, the triple engine Sarkar in the State will work with the objective of ‘Viksit Swarna’, prioritising towns, villages, divisions and wards, said Lanka Dinakar, Chairman of Implementation of Twenty Point Programmes (Viksit Bharat – Swarna Andhra Pradesh).

Addressing the media here on Saturday, he mentioned that the BJP has established a strong political foundation in the State by winning four municipal chairperson positions, 40 corporator positions, 113 municipal councillor positions, 23 ZPTC positions and 169 MPTC positions, thereby securing representation from every district.

In the second phase of urban local body elections to be held soon, the alliance will achieve good results, and the BJP will also play its role in the success, he mentioned. “Those, who advocated ‘No to EVMs, Yes to Ballot Papers’ must now answer what they have to say. Whether elections are conducted through EVMs or ballot papers, the people clearly know whom to vote for and whom to reject and brush aside,” Dinakar stated.

As per the recommendations of the 16th Finance Commission, for the period from 2026–27 to 2030–31, the Central government is allocating Rs 4.40 lakh crore to rural local bodies, Rs 3.60 lakh crore to urban local bodies and Rs 66,000 crore for the creation of special infrastructure facilities across the country, he informed.

The elected public representatives of the BJP, Telugu Desam and Jana Sena Party will strive to ensure the effective utilisation of these funds, he opined.

As part of the Jal Jeevan Mission 1.0 and 2.0, about 97 lakh households in Andhra Pradesh will be provided safe drinking water through household tap connections, Lanka Dinakar informed. “At a time when even developed countries across the world are struggling due to wars, our country has achieved a growth rate of 7.8 percent and the people have recognised the efforts of the Central government under the able leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in achieving this growth,” Dinakar mentioned.

Visakhapatnam parliamentary district president MMN Parasurama Raju also spoke.
