0

“One cup at a time! From the lush Araku Valley to the heart of Paris, it’s inspiring to see this truly Made-in-AP product earning the global recognition it deserves. How about incorporating design elements that celebrate the tribal roots of Araku Coffee, showcasing its journey from bean to cup?”, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu expressed his joy overreaching of Araku coffee to Paris.

Chandrababu retweeted Anand Mahindra’s tweet that the journey from bean to cup in Araku Coffee, which comes from tribal roots, is exemplary for everyone. The flavors of Andhra Araku Coffee are spreading internationally. Araku Cafe has already been operating in the Le Marais area of Paris since 2017.

Recently, a second Araku Coffee shop was opened near the Pantheon in Paris itself. Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra posted this on ‘X’ on Saturday. ‘Our second Araku Cafe in Paris. Many more to come. The world will wake up with Araku Coffee’, he said in the post.

On the other hand, the AP government is working to further promote Araku Coffee. As part of this, 2 Araku coffee stalls have been set up in the AP Assembly premises. Another Araku coffee stall has also been opened in the Legislative Council premises.

As part of promoting Araku coffee, the AP government is working to provide natural Araku coffee without the use of any chemicals to all the members of Parliament in the country. The government has decided to bring its taste, which has already found a place in the Parliament canteen, to the members.

For this, two instant coffee packets, ready-made coffee bottles, and special gift boxes containing a small book explaining the history of Araku coffee have been made. 12 states in the country produce coffee. Andhra Pradesh is one of them.

Coffee gardens are spread over one lakh and a half acres in Alluri Seetharamaraju district of AP. The highest quality coffee beans are produced here. That is why Araku coffee has received international recognition. Since it is grown in organic methods, the demand for the coffee crop here is very high. At an altitude of 3600 above sea level, tribal families cultivate it in a traditional manner.

Nara Lokesh says Half of Electoral promised Implemented

TDP National General Secretary and State Education Minister Nara Lokesh said that within 9 months of coming to power, they have fully implemented 55 of the 177 promises given in the manifesto and partially implemented 49. Almost half of the promises have been implemented, he said.

Lokesh speaking at a program held at the TDP central office in Mangalagiri on the occasion of the TDP completing 43 years, said the yellow flag is an emotion for the Telugu people. He said that if the formation of Telugu Desam was a sensation, then the first victory is history. He said that whether records are to be broken in politics or rewritten, it is possible only for TDP.

“The three letters NTR have fought for the self-respect of the Telugu people. They have become the heartbeat of the Telugu people. NTR introduced welfare to the country. Chandrababu introduced development to the country”, he said.

Lokesh recalled that their government provides the highest pension in the country.  He said that the TDP knows not only street politics but also Delhi politics. Even if they get the opportunity to rule the central governments, they never use it for selfish reasons, and the interests of the state are important to us, he added.

Lokesh reminded that the TDP has worked hard in making Abdul Kalam the President, in getting the Bharat Ratna for Ambedkar, and in making Balayogi the first Dalit Speaker of Parliament. ‘‘I will fight for the activists as much as I fight outside the party. My goal is to identify the activists and leaders who work hard for the party”, he asserted.

That is why, he recalled that he had put a proposal before the party. After serving two terms in one post, one should move to a higher post or take a break for a term. If this happens, there will be movement at all levels in the party, he added. He assured that even a village level leader will have the opportunity to rise to a state level leader.

“Even if I am serving as the National General Secretary for the fourth time.. Start the purge in the party with me. I will respect the seniors. I will give promotions to the juniors who work.. This is my style”, he added.  If the party wants to survive for another 40 years, he said that it needs new blood.

Venkaiah Naidu seeks A New Law To Ban party Defections

Former Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu has made it clear that a new law should be brought to ban party defections and that no matter how many people change parties, they should resign from their position. He said that only if a strict law is implemented to prevent party defections the system of changing parties will end.

He expressed his concern that there are loopholes in the existing laws and they should be changed after looking into them. He warned that party defections are against democracy. Participating in an event held in Vijayawada on the issue of “One Nation, One Election”, he said that in the past, political parties used to go to elections based on their agenda.

But, he deplored that now they are going with the names of only a few leaders. He said that they used to say that they would do these things if they came to power. But, now, changing parties has become a habit.

He advised that the political parties should act by observing the change in the people. He expressed concern that an MLA spends Rs. 20 to Rs. 30 crore in elections. If they invest that much money, he cautioned that they only look at it to get it back if elected. He cautioned that people should think about the fact that we are voting for our future.

In the 2019 general elections, he said that  Rs. 55,000 crores were estimated as expenditure. In the 2024 elections, Rs. 1.35 lakh crores were confirmed to have been spent. “We know what politicians do by going door to door. If they are counted.. then there is no need to say. That is why the cost of the government and politicians will be reduced through the one nation, one election system”, he added.

Venkaiah Naidu recalled that a committee headed by Ramnath Kovind had studied this. Since technology has increased, he said that conducting elections will become even easier. He urged that  everyone should support one nation, one election and contribute to the development of the country.

He deplored that there are also those who have incited hatred among people in the name of caste and benefited. He made it clear that political interests should be put aside and temporary gifts should be stopped. People should also not destroy the future of their children by hoping for freebies, he added.
