नायडू की बोल्ड गरीबी उन्मूलन अभियान आंध्र प्रदेश में बहस को उत्पन्न करता है।

Typical big-government scheme—maybe if politicians spent less time virtue-signaling and more time enabling free enterprise, people could lift themselves out of poverty without all this forced charity.

While it’s great to see leaders taking responsibility for poverty, real progress comes from empowering people through jobs and economic growth, not just government schemes and symbolic gestures. Hopefully, this initiative won’t end up as another publicity stunt that pressures public servants instead of actually improving lives.

Naidu's plan sounds like a step in the right direction—tackling poverty needs both government leadership and community buy-in—but it’s important that participation stays truly voluntary and doesn’t become another top-down mandate.

Honestly, I think Naidu’s poverty eradication plan is a pretty bold move, and it’s refreshing to see a leader actually set big goals for once. That said, I can understand why some people feel uneasy about government employees being “encouraged” to take part—volunteering should genuinely be voluntary, not subtly forced. At the same time, if the community and even people abroad are getting involved, there’s clearly some positive momentum. I just hope it doesn’t turn into a political stunt or get bogged down in red tape. Both the supporters and critics have valid points: we need ambitious programs to fight poverty, but they need to be fair and not coercive. In the end, the real test will be if this actually helps families in the long run, not just makes headlines.

It’s great to see a government actually prioritizing poverty eradication and trying creative approaches like community adoption, but it’s crucial that participation stays truly voluntary and doesn’t become another top-down mandate for public employees. Real change happens when people are genuinely empowered, not when they’re pressured into social programs for political optics.

I think it’s great to finally see a government leader in Andhra Pradesh talking about poverty eradication as a real goal, and not just paying lip service. Naidu’s P4 scheme sounds ambitious, but honestly, that’s exactly the kind of bold thinking we need if we ever want to actually eliminate poverty, not just “manage” it. Community involvement is key—no one understands the struggles of the poor better than those living alongside them. But I do get why people are concerned about potential pressure on government employees; participation should always be genuin…  अधिक पढ़ेंely voluntary, not forced. At the same time, it’s inspiring to see the Andhra diaspora getting involved—solidarity across borders is powerful. The criticism is valid, especially if there’s any coercion, but I hope folks don’t lose sight of the bigger picture: building a society where no one is left behind. Ultimately, if this scheme is truly participatory and transparent, it could be a model for the rest of India.

Naidu’s focus on poverty eradication is definitely a step in the right direction, but relying on voluntary "adoption" of families feels more like a band-aid than a systemic fix. Social democrats would argue that we need robust state-led welfare programs and strong public services, not just goodwill from individuals. The pressure on government employees is concerning, too—real change shouldn’t come from top-down mandates, but from empowering communities and strengthening the social safety net. Hopefully this sparks a bigger conversation about structural reform and not just charity.
