Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu rolled up his sleeves today, joining municipal workers to clean NTR Park in Tanuku as part of the statewide Swarnandhra-Swachhandhra initiative. The event, held in West Godavari district, saw Naidu sweeping garbage alongside sanitation staff, reinforcing his call for a cleaner Andhra Pradesh by 2029. Posts on X captured the moment, with Naidu’s own account declaring, “Team Tanuku is ready!” signaling the town’s enthusiasm for the cleanliness drive.

The Swachhandhra program, tied to Naidu’s “Swarna Andhra-2047” vision, aims to eliminate garbage and promote sustainable living. Today’s activities included a public interaction where Naidu listened to workers’ concerns, emphasizing grassroots involvement. “A clean state starts with us,” he reportedly told attendees, echoing his February pledge to designate every third Saturday as Swachh Diwas.

Tanuku, an industrial hub, is targeting its waste management, with Naidu pushing for tech-driven solutions like drone monitoring—a nod to his tech-savvy governance style.

X posts from local TDP supporters and official handles praised Naidu’s hands-on approach, with visuals of him wielding a broom going viral. The drive aligns with his goal to clear 85 lakh metric tonnes of urban waste by October 2025, turning garbage into resources. As Naidu later addressed a Prajavedhika meeting, his message was clear: public participation is key to realizing a golden, garbage-free Andhra Pradesh.
