VIJAYAWADA: The state cabinet is scheduled to meet on January 21 at the Velagapudi secretariat. Chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy will chair the meeting, during which the cabinet is likely to take several important decisions, besides clearing the Jagananna townships proposal which the government launched earlier this week.
The government has proposed townships for the middle class at affordable prices and the first phase has already been launched at Nowluru in Guntur district, Dharmavaram in Anantapur district, Rayachoti in Kadapa district, Kavali in Nellore district, Kandukuru in Prakasam district, and Eluru in West Godavari district. The cabinet has to clear the proposal after which it will be launched across the state. The CM is likely to explain the scheme in detail to his cabinet colleagues and senior officials during the meeting.
The chief minister is also expected to give an overview of new industries in Kadapa. During his visit to the district in the last week of December 2021, he laid the foundation stone for several industries and inaugurated a couple of other major industries in Kadapa, including Kopparithy industrial estate.
Jagan is also likely to discuss his plans for the much-awaited cabinet reshuffle, which would most likely happen after the budget session. Sources say he would give his mind to his cabinet colleagues and take their views before making a final move. The CM is planning to have his ‘Team 2024’ ready for the general elections and is firm on having some of the cabinet colleagues in the team. As the budget session of the Parliament is also likely to begin in the last week of January or first week of February, he is likely to raise the issues concerning the state to be presented by the party MPs in both the Houses during the budget session.
Meanwhile, the chief minister inaugurated a star hotel promoted by the ITC group in Guntur on Wednesday. Stating his government has changed the definition of development as rural AP is witnessing rapid growth in agriculture, health and education sectors, he said they have put the state on the growth corridor by laying a strong foundation.
“Rural Andhra Pradesh is transforming thanks to the government’s new initiatives in agriculture, food processing, health and education sectors,” the CM said.
