Performance survey: Chandrababu Naidu scores 80.5 per cent marks, govt gets 79

Hyderabad: Party sources said that Mr Naidu individually scored more marks than the TD government in the performance wise survey. Mr Naidu got 80.5 per cent whereas the TD government got 79 per cent.

A senior party leader said that these scores reflected the non-performance of MLAs in the constituencies as also Mr Naidu’s individual performance and that of the TD government. He gave the example of how the NTR Arogya Sri scheme stood first among all the state government schemes. But the same scheme did not secure the same marks in all Assembly constituencies because of the local MLAs’ weak performance.

To improve the percentage of votes in the constituencies where the TD got less votes, Mr Naidu asked the senior leaders to work out an action plan. He has constituted a high-level committee, consisting of TD national general secretary Nara Lokesh, AP Telugu Desam president K. Kala Venkata Rao, finance minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu, irrigation minister Devineni Uma Maheswara Rao and some senior leaders. The 10-member committee will prepare an action plan.

Mr Venkata Rao said that the first meeting of this committee would be held on July 12 at the Guntur party office when preliminary discussions would be held. Another meeting would be held after Mr Naidu returned from Russia. He said that they would conduct workshops for the party leaders, including MLAs, MLCs, constituency in-charges and other workers.

The leaders would be divided into three categories and workshops conducted separately. He said that the committee would get inputs from the MLAs of those constituencies where the government’s schemes secured about 80 per cent mar-ks to see what strategy they were using. But conversely, they would also find out why the government schemes did not secure more marks in other constituencies.
