He responded to demands for the restoration of Government Order (GO) No. 3 and reiterated his earlier assurance that it would either be reinstated or replaced with an alternative, promising clarity on the matter soon.

The chief minister dismissed the political criticism that he was neglecting areas where his party did not win and said all tribal children were like his own, and that his focus on agency areas was unwavering.

He highlighted ongoing developmental initiatives and pledged to accelerate the progress of tribal regions, assuring the community of his commitment on the occasion of World Tribal Day.

The Chief Minister was accorded a grand traditional welcome by local tribal communities, who greeted him with garlands and cultural rituals. He also visited the revered local deity, Shanku Devudu, offering special prayers for the well-being of all the people of the state.

Naidu inspected coffee plantations in the village, interacting with farmers about cultivation practices, before proceeding to a public meeting. He also laid foundation stones for various development projects and visited stalls showcasing agency-area agricultural produce.

"If I were to be born again..." statements sound nice but are just political rhetoric. What we need are concrete plans for tribal education, healthcare and employment. The coffee plantation visit is a good start though.

As someone working with tribal communities, I appreciate the focus on agency areas. The key will be sustainable development that preserves their unique culture while improving quality of life. The GO No. 3 issue needs urgent resolution.

Visiting Shanku Devudu temple shows cultural sensitivity. But will the government ensure tribal lands are protected from corporate land grabs? That's the real test of commitment to tribal welfare.

The focus on agricultural produce is excellent! Tribal farmers need market linkages more than anything. Hope the government establishes proper supply chains for their organic products. #SupportTribalFarmers
