00:00The period 2019-24 was more severe compared to the state reorganization in June 2014.
00:09During this regime, democracy was at peril.
00:13People were in a state of fear and hardly enjoyed any freedom of living.
00:18The regime's revenge politics had severely hampered the state's prospects for prosperity and growth.
00:25Even the Honorable High Court of Andhra Pradesh had sought to convene a judicial inquiry into whether there is a constitutional breakdown in the state.
00:35The biggest damage was done to the brand AP.
00:38No noteworthy companies came forward to invest in the state.
00:42The corrupt practices at all levels, coupled with weaponization of instruments of governance,
00:47across revenue-earning departments for personal gains,
00:51sabotaging of checks and balances made several state institutions and private companies defunct
00:57and forced the existing enthusiastic investors and entrepreneurs to move out of Andhra Pradesh to other states.
01:04The uncertain environment, which rocked the confidence of the people in general,
01:09and investors in particular, started showing impact on the state finances.
01:15Expenditure was beyond means in spite of limited revenue growth and debt and liabilities rolled sharply.
01:22Financial management is manifested by diversion of funds,
01:26higher taxation despite high inflation, increase in power sector liabilities,
01:31neglect of capital expenditure which eventually resulted in slowing down of the economy.
01:36In view of the inordinate delay in clearance of the bills due to strained financial position of the state,
01:42many vendors and contractors have approached High Court of Andhra Pradesh for relief and filed cases against the government.
01:49About 25,000 cases have been filed for bill payments, which is unprecedented.
01:54The sheer number of contempt cases with personal appearances and arrest warrants against officials in several cases
02:02resulted in systematic humiliation and victimization of bureaucracy.
02:07The capital expenditure reduced by 60% in 2019-24,
02:12the Amaravati capital region envisioned as the focal point of growth for the nascent state of Andhra Pradesh was totally destroyed.
02:20With an attempt to scrap the Amaravati dream,
02:23the government confused the people with its malicious three capital cities idea under the guise of decentralized governance.
02:31During the period 2019-24, no irrigation project, no industries, no infrastructure relating to roads, buildings, hospitals, drinking water was taken up.
02:42Cancellation of MOUs in energy sector and other infrastructure projects further demonstrated the negative attitude of the government.
02:51Such disastrous decisions, unmindful of consequences, have led to unrest among the youth.
