Amaravati: “Don’t you even have time to look at files, let alone your cellphones?” Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu lashed out at government officials at the district collectors’ conference.
The 8th District Collectors’ Conference was held in Amaravati under the leadership of Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. Speaking at the conference yesterday, which was the second day of the event, Chandrababu Naidu said: “At a time when discussions are being held on people’s problems and the pending files related to them, it is surprising that the chief officials from some departments are not attending this meeting.”
What courage do they have? The concerned officials should explain the reasons and reply to me. Some officers do not even spend as much time looking at files as they do looking at mobile phones. You are in a state where you cannot even stay without mobile phones for a few hours. In every department, files have been piling up for many days. Why are the files piling up?
Similarly, there are complaints that among the ministers, Ramprasad Reddy, Kolla Ravindra, and Keshav are also taking a long time to review files.
I also take a maximum of only 4 days to look at files. All ministers should look through the files immediately and send them on. The faster the files move across the desks, the faster the government will function. Otherwise, this government will move at a snail’s pace. He said this.
