The Andhra Pradesh Cabinet, led by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, approved a new excise policy to be implemented on October 1, which will adopt a private retail system for liquor sales. This policy includes allocating 10 percent of retail outlets to the toddy-tappers community and aims to ensure quality liquor is available at reasonable prices through a transparent licensing process. Additionally, the cabinet granted 33 percent political reservations for Backward Classes (BCs) in legislative bodies and announced the establishment of an Artificial Intelligence university and a skilling academy. The Bhogapuram Airport will be renamed as Alluri Seetharamaraju International Airport, and the vision document Vikasitha Andhra 2047 will now be called the Swarnandhra Vision Document. The cabinet also decided to discontinue a monthly allowance for village volunteers previously issued by the prior government, citing financial losses. Overall, these measures reflect a strategic focus on efficiency and inclusivity in governance.
