Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu had asked the MLAs and MLCs of Andhra Pradesh to work united to achieve per capita happiness in state.
He also suggested MLAs to inculcate the qualities of Lord Rama and make the world around them happy and meaningful.
Naidu while inaugurating the two-day training camp for the new MLAs on Friday, said that the life of Rama had a peculiar relevance to the conduct of politics today.
Union urban development minister M Venkaiah Naidu, Speaker Kodela Sivaprasada Rao, noted parliamentary scholar Subhas Kashyap and legislative council chairman A Chakrapani also attended the meeting.
He advised MLAs to emulate “Ramudu” (Lord Rama) by talking to people always with a smile and the conversation should be short and sweet. Referring to Ramayana, he said Ramudu would always speak with a smile on his face. His talk was always short and sweet, and he used to initiate the dialogue. All members should try and emulate him. He called on MLAs and MLCs to work hard for AP which did not have a capital and was poor in infrastructure.
He also expressed his concern over the falling standards of politicians in the Houses. He said that progress would be possible only when law makers become pro-development.
He said, “We should forget the division between ruling party and opposition members if we want to commit ourselves to the well being of the society. We should all become a pro-development group.”
Chief Guest of the session Venkaiah Naidu said, “We should all work to ensure that people of the state remain happy and satisfied. Some people may have money, but they may not be happy. As people’s representatives, we have to work to create income and revenue, solve public problems to keep them happy and content with our work. Achieving this would be real democracy.”
