According to him welfare programmes, completion of Polavaram project and world-class capital construction would be main issues which would enhance satisfactory levels of the people towards the government.

Stating that Congress is failing to revive itself in the state, he cautioned that the main opposition YSRCP is making efforts to admit potential Congress leaders. So, he asked party leaders to identify potential Congress leaders so that to attract them to join the party so that to weaken opposition vote banks.

He said that YSRCP itself is in dilution and is not in a position to challenge TDP’s supremacy in the state politics. Though a small percent of people from the main opposition YSRCP are likely to shift towards Congress, the Chief Minister commented that Congress leaders themselves have no confidence to revive their fortunes in the state.
