Highlighting the difference between past and present administrations, Naidu said earlier governments were disconnected from citizens, while his administration delivers pensions directly to beneficiaries’ doorsteps. “We could have pressed a button or stayed behind curtains, but I prefer to meet the people personally,” he remarked.

He added that 2.65 lakh volunteers were engaged in delivering pensions efficiently, reducing the time to complete distribution to just three hours. Naidu said the scale and speed of Andhra Pradesh’s welfare delivery set a new national benchmark in social governance. (Maxim News)
