From Chaganti to Manthena: Naidu Picks Good Advisors

The Andhra Pradesh government is following a different path when it comes to appointing advisors. Unlike the previous regime, which faced criticism for appointing several political loyalists as advisors, the present NDA government is choosing individuals known for their public service and positive influence on society.

Earlier, renowned spiritual speaker Chaganti Koteswara Rao was appointed as an advisor on students and moral values, with cabinet rank. The move was widely welcomed as a step aimed at strengthening ethics and value based thinking among students and youth.

Now, the government has appointed Dr Manthena Satyanarayana Raju as Natural Therapy Advisor. Official orders have been issued, and he will serve in this role for two years. Dr Manthena is well known for promoting naturopathy, yoga, and natural living for over two decades, helping people improve health without medication.

Along with this, Pochampally Srinivas has been appointed as Endowments Advisor. These appointments signal that the Chandrababu Naidu government is prioritising wellness, values, and social good, highlighting a clear focus on positivity driven governance.
