During a public meeting in Nidadavolu, East Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu stated that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is committed to promoting public awareness for securing 33% reservation for women in legislative bodies. He criticized the Indian National Congress for obstructing previous attempts to pass a Constitution Amendment Bill aimed at increasing women's representation in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. Naidu emphasized that despite the Congress benefiting from women's votes, they have failed to support their cause since 1996. Furthermore, he addressed the issue of waste management in Andhra Pradesh, claiming that the previous YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government mismanaged the situation. The NDA government has been working to clear waste and plans to establish processing plants worth ₹603 crore to convert waste into usable material and electricity. Naidu also aims to increase the state's green cover from 31.3% to 50% by 2047.
