Chandrababu Naidu's Daunting Financial Challenge: Fulfilling TDP's 'Super Six' Promises

Chandrababu Naidu, soon to be sworn in as Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, faces a significant financial challenge. To fulfill his party's 'Super Six' promises, he needs to raise over Rs 10,000 crore by July, including increasing social pensions and providing free bus travel for women.

Chandrababu Naidu, the TDP supremo poised to assume power in Andhra Pradesh, is confronted by a monumental financial task. Slated to be sworn in on June 12, Naidu must address the nearly depleted state coffers to fulfill his party's 'Super Six' promises made during the recent Assembly elections.

To disburse social pensions to around 65 lakh beneficiaries, Naidu needs over Rs 4,500 crore by July 1. This encompasses hiking the monthly pension to Rs 4,000 and clearing a backlog. Additionally, the new government must gather over Rs 10,000 crore for July's financial requirements, including salaries and pensions.

Moreover, as part of his manifesto, Naidu pledged various benefits including free bus travel for women and financial aid for school children and farmers, posing further fiscal challenges. The state's budget documents reveal mounting debts, adding to Naidu's hurdles in steering the state towards financial stability.
