Chandrababu Naidu is back in the driver’s seat and he’s stepping on the gas. The longest-serving chief minister of Andhra Pradesh—including a 9-year stint from 1995 to 2004 at the helm of the undivided state—is now on his fourth term. In October, Naidu made national headlines when he publicly accused his predecessor Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy (better known as YSR) of permitting the use of ghee adulterated with animal fat to make the famous Tirumala laddus. Done with that bit of ‘political drama’, Naidu’s now back to his old self, that of a CEO-type leader, bidding to reprise his role as the architect of a high-tech Hyderabad to rival Bengaluru. The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief presented a budget of Rs 30 lakh crore with a slew of ambitious plans to make AP a global economic and tech hub with massive infusions of money and technology in several industrial sectors. Setting an ambitious 15 per cent annual growth rate and a target of 20 lakh jobs in the next five years, Naidu said the state would invest in its youth to set the tone. He announced a clutch of new industrial parks, huge investments in agrobased food-processing sectors and innovation hubs to achieve his goal of making AP a global manufacturing hub. The centrepiece of Naidu’s tech vision is the creation of a ‘drone city’ in Orvakal in Kurnool district spread over 300 acres. Announced last month at the Amaravati Drone Summit 2024 in Mangalagiri, it envisages an investment of Rs 1,000 crore, the generation of 40,000 jobs and the churning out of 25,000 skilled drone pilots. With a 20 per cent subsidy on investments and a Rs 500 crore allocation for the rollout, it is also an attempt to lure over a 100 drone companies to the state. Andhra Pradesh will be competing with the neighbouring states of Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, all of whom have drone ambitions. The Andhra Pradesh Drone Policy 4.0 (2024–29) aims to transform the state into the country’s primary destination for drone technology, said AP Drone Corporation CMD K. Dinesh Kumar. The drone market is estimated to grow rapidly over the next 5 years (one estimate puts it at 17 per cent annually), fuelled by galloping demand from diverse sectors like agriculture, defence and e-commerce. With a shift from military use to commercial applications in agriculture (crop assessment), urban planning for smart city interventions and healthcare (medical supplies delivery), the government is also looking at ways to include drones in the delivery of government services and seeks to appoint special ‘drone innovation officers’ in government departments. Andhra Pradesh already has a record of delivering public services such as monthly payments to older women and rations at people’s doorsteps. It will be interesting to see how drones could up this game. Seaplane tourism takes off A De Havilland Twin Otter Series 400 seaplane is the centrepiece of a new tourist attraction that the state is touting. It made its inaugural flight on 9 November, taking off from Punnami Ghat (near Prakasam Barrage) in Vijayawada for a short hop to Srisailam in Nandyal district. CM Chandrababu Naidu, who travelled on the flight, said seaplane tourism offered an innovative way to promote tourism in the state. It was, he said, essential to harness technology to promote growth, adding it would also improve local connectivity and supplement existing air services. According to the state tourism minister, the test run was a demonstration of the feasibility of seaplane flights as a method to showcase picturesque locations in the state including Araku Valley, Lambasinghi, Rushikonda, Kakinada and the temple town of Tirumala. Laddus, anyone? Coming in from the cold A long-time member of the banned CPI(Maoist) group has surrendered to the police after more than three decades on the run. Kodi Manjula, a.k.a. Nirmala, was a Dandakaranya special committee member of the group. The 46-year-old gave herself up to the Warangal commissioner of police, Amber Kishore Jha. The Rs 20 lakh reward for her capture was handed over by cheque towards her rehabilitation. Manjula had joined the People’s War Group (a forerunner of the Maoist party) after her brother and a close relative, both Naxalites, were killed in police action. She was reportedly involved in several Maoist operations, including the 2013 attack on a convoy of the Indian National Congress in Darbha valley, Chhattisgarh. Among the 27 people killed was Congress leader V.C. Shukla. Manjula’s surrender is symptomatic of the waning of the Maoist movement in the central Indian jungles of Bastar, following a crackdown by successive state and central governments. A pale shadow of itself, it has lost considerable ground in Andhra Pradesh, which had nurtured the revolutionary movement in its early stages. Sustained police action, combined with substantial reform measures, led to operations being shifted to Odisha and Chhattisgarh. Vizag to see Singapore-style Marina Bay Sands facility The demolition of the Taj group’s iconic Gateway hotel on Beach Road, Visakhapatnam has been received with mixed feelings by locals. Originally the Sea Pearl hotel dating back to 1988, the Gateway, which opened in 2018, quickly became a city landmark with its vintage charm. Varun Hospitality, which now owns the prime property, announced its plans to come up with a new mixed-use facility along the lines of Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands. The proposed structure includes a deluxe hotel with 374 sea-facing rooms and a rooftop replete with bars, restaurants, swimming pool and helipad. The project which claims to minimise its carbon footprint with advanced green technologies such as double-glazed windows, is estimated to cost Rs 500 crores and is expected to be finished by 2028.

NonePresident Bola Tinubu has been called upon to confer a National Honours Award on High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, a.k.a Tompolo, Chairman of Tantita Security Services Limited over his unwavering commitment and dedication to the war against crude oil theft in the Niger Delta region. This call was made by HRM Monday Obukowho Whiskey, Udurhie 1, Ovie of Idjerhe Kingdom in his palace on Sunday in Idjerhe, Ethiope West Local Government Area of Delta State, he said that the attainment of 1.8million barrels per day recently declared by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL was possible because of Tompolo’s collaborative efforts. According to HRM Whiskey, “Tompolo needs commendation. In fact, he needs a National award. Nothing stops the President from inviting him to Abuja and confering on him a National Award, because he has done what Napoleon could not do. “First and foremost, let me especially congratulate the staff and management of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited(TSSNL )led by High Chief Government Ekpemupolo for the battle against oil theft. “From every available facts now, it is now very clear that only the section being handled by Tompolo and his Tantita group are performing exceedingly well. So we can rightly say that Tompolo is not only protecting Critical National Assets but has gone extra mile to take the highest risk. “The situation today is that Tompolo is singlehandedly fighting the oil cabals, the oil cabals that were siphoning the country oil. And if we look at it very critically, there are three major things that Tompolo’s Tantita is achieving today. “One, the firm is working very hard to increase oil and gas production output to the Nigerian government. Before this job was given to Tantita, Nigerian production was less than 1m barrels per day and to bring on board extra 800,000 barrels and still working hard to get it to 2 million barrels per day. “There are serious agencies saddled with the responsibility of protecting this installations. What did they do? Rather, they are conspiring with the oil thieves, and they have started doing it as business. “Secondly, Tompolo is helping to restore our environment that has been criminally degraded from its natural state that today is supporting aquatic life and the growth of this environment, especially cleaner water. “If you are used to this area before Tantita was given this job, you barely can see the water content, because everything is covered in black oil. “But today, aquatic live is being restored and aquatic animals are returning to their natural habitat as a result of the hard work of an individual. An individual took it upon himself. Other people were given the same job. What have they done? “Thirdly, this Tantita Security Project is creating employment opportunities to youths in the entire Niger Delta area and it is exposing our youths to the deployment of high tech facilities, because they are not using manual technologies anymore. “I want to appeal to the federal government to increase and expand this project. Because if you look critically, it is only the areas where Tantita is working that you have this very noble achievement. “So there is no reason why I should not advocate for the expansion of the project so that we can get more able bodied youths from the streets, they need to work. The federal government should, as a matter of urgency, begin to fund Tantita very regularly, because, you know, an idle mind is the devil’s workshop. “Now that Tompolo has used his native sagacity to bring together most dreaded youths in the region to be part of this program, there is no reason why salaries should not be regular. “Increase the workforce, regularize the workers’ salaries, the security contract has enhanced oil production and sustained environmental protection of the Niger Delta people, Tompolo deserve a national award for the feat he has achieved so far.”

Legislation that would weaken the powers of North Carolina’s incoming governor and other Democrat officials cleared both chambers of the state’s Republican-controlled Legislature this week. The bill would strip authority from the soon-to-be governor, Democrat Josh Stein, to appoint members to the State Board of Elections. Currently, the governor appoints all five members of the board—including three from his own party—based on the recommendations of the Democratic and Republican parties. The new bill would reassign that role to the state auditor, a position that will be filled by Republican Dave Boliek come January 2025. Another provision would limit the governor’s choice of candidates to fill vacancies on the state’s Court of Appeals and Supreme Court to a list provided by the outgoing judge’s political party. The bill would also bar the state’s attorney general from taking a legal position contrary to that of the General Assembly in litigation challenging state laws. Democrat U.S. Rep. Jeff Jackson will assume that office after winning his race against Republican Rep. Dan Bishop. Meanwhile, Democrat Mo Green, set to take over the role of superintendent of public instruction, would be stripped of the power to appeal against a state review board’s decisions on charter school applications. The measure passed the North Carolina House along party lines on Nov. 19, prompting criticism from outgoing Gov. Roy Cooper. “Legislators have put forward a bill that fails to provide real support to communities hit hard by Hurricane Helene and instead prioritizes more power grabs in Raleigh,” Cooper said in a statement. The Senate nonetheless passed the bill a day later and sent it to the governor’s desk. The bill, Republican state Sen. Vickie Sawyer noted, allocates an additional $252 million for Hurricane Helene recovery efforts in Western North Carolina. “This historic commitment brings the total state funding for relief to $1.1 billion. Families still struggling to rebuild after the storm can count on our continued focus on housing, infrastructure, and other critical needs,” Sawyer wrote in a social media post. While the General Assembly is in session, Cooper has 10 days to sign or veto legislation before it automatically becomes law. If he should veto the measure, Republicans have the supermajority needed for an override, though it remains unclear if they would all support one. In the House, three Republicans from Helene-damaged areas joined with the chamber’s Democrats in voting against the bill. Just one defection would be enough for an override to fail. Republicans are poised to lose their veto-proof majority next year after falling one House seat short in the Nov. 5 election. While the party will retain its supermajority in the Senate and a majority in the House, the current lame-duck session could be the last opportunity for Republicans to bypass the state’s Democrat administration. In 2016, the state’s Republican-led Legislature pulled a similar move, limiting the governor’s powers ahead of the transition to Cooper’s administration. That legislation sparked protests and years of litigation.The country's export sector plays a crucial role in driving economic growth and creating job opportunities.
