Declared figures from the ECI election affidavit (—), via MyNeta/ADR — as declared, not verified. Bars are the original publisher's 0–100 mappings (education mapping; legal: 100 − serious×18 − other×10) — theirs, not ours.
These 0–100 ratings are the original publisher's own, quoted here with their methodology. Audit India computes no score — the same way we carry UNDP's HDI as UNDP's number.
Transparency
46/ 100
the original publisher
Two CAG findings are carried here, both re-checked against the reports themselves in August 2026: the performance audit of the Polavaram Irrigation Project (Report No. 4 of 2025) and the performance audit of construction workers' welfare in Report No. 5 of 2025. The Polavaram finding is among the most significant infrastructure transparency failures in India — a national project where the headworks remain incomplete 17 years after work began. The incoming TDP government (June 2024) commissioned these audits against its YSRCP predecessor, reflecting accountability-through-change-of-power rather than institutional transparency. Score is marginally above Rajasthan and WB range, reflecting AP's historically stronger audit compliance and the new government's proactive audit approach.
Officials' Legal Integrity
96/ 100
the original publisher
10 unique officials counted (Governor excluded). CM Chandrababu Naidu: 0 → 100; Speaker Chintakayala: 0 → 100; Payyavula Keshav: 0 → 100; Vangalapudi Anitha: 0 → 100; Kinjarapu Atchannaidu: 1 case/1 serious → 82; Nara Lokesh: 0 → 100; Satya Kumar Yadav: 0 → 100; Pawan Kalyan: 0 → 100; Anagani Satya Prasad: 1 case/1 serious → 82; (10th official) TG Bharath: 0 → 100. Average: (100+100+100+100+82+100+100+100+82+100) ÷ 10 = 964 ÷ 10 = 96.4, rounded to 96. TDP-NDA cabinet has a clean criminal record profile; both cases involve serious electoral/corruption charges. Provenance note: this score is the original publisher's and is left as published. Its per-official case counts do not all match the affidavit figures carried in the officials list below. The officials list is the sitting council; the arithmetic above is not.
Governance
62/ 100
the original publisher
Composite: indicators avg (59/100) × 50% + Transparency (46/100) × 25% + Integrity (96/100) × 25% = 29.5 + 11.5 + 24 = 65; adjusted down to 62 to reflect: (1) AP's inherited state debt of ₹7.88 lakh crore — the highest debt-to-GSDP ratio among India's large states, accumulated primarily during the YSRCP 2019-24 term — which constrains the current government's development expenditure capacity; (2) Polavaram dam's 14-year delay directly denying water access to 7 lakh hectares of agricultural land and displacing 1.06 lakh families without full resettlement.
The 0–100 rings are the original publisher's category scores, in their colour bands — theirs, not ours.
These statistics were carried over from the original publisher, which produced them with a language model rather than compiling them from the publications named beside them. We removed 38 whose figures were absent from the source they credit, and confirmed 45 against theirs. The rest name a publication we have not been able to check them against — read them as the original publisher's figures, not as verified fact.
Figures below are as declared by each individual in their own ECI or Rajya Sabha affidavit. We report them; we do not score them. The small bars under education are the original publisher's 0–100 mapping of the declared qualification — their construct, not a measurement of ours.

Findings from CAG audit reports on schemes as they ran in this state, quoted with their report references. We add no grade of our own.
Polavaram Irrigation Project
Seventeen years after construction began, the Polavaram headworks are still incomplete. ₹7,422.69 crore of headworks was awarded and ₹5,757.48 crore spent. The Polavaram Hydro Electric project stood at 12 per cent physical and 17 per cent financial progress. Because the spillway and spill channel were not finished, the river could not be diverted, and floodwater passed through gaps in the cofferdam and damaged both the cofferdams and the diaphragm wall — which, as of March 2023, had still not been rectified.
What the audit measured
The project's estimate has been revised three times: ₹10,151.05 crore at 2005-06 prices, ₹16,010.45 crore at 2010-11 prices, ₹30,718.95 crore at 2013-14 prices and ₹55,548.87 crore at 2017-18 prices — the last of which the Centre had still not approved, because the socio-economic survey and the distributary DPR were incomplete. Of 1,79,770 acres of land needed, 1,13,119 acres — 67.43 per cent — had been acquired. The project submerges 373 habitations in 222 revenue villages and displaces 1,06,006 families; of 213 resettlement colonies planned at ₹13,262 crore, 26 were complete and 11,677 families had been shifted by March 2023. Budget utilisation ran between 21 and 66 per cent over 2017-23, with spending concentrated on works and least on land acquisition and resettlement.
Welfare of Building and Other Construction Workers, Andhra Pradesh
Andhra Pradesh stopped running welfare schemes for construction workers after March 2020 — the Government told the Board to hold them in abeyance to avoid duplicating its own schemes — and then took ₹2,405.14 crore of the Board's money as loans and advances for purposes unrelated to worker welfare, which the audit records as contrary to Supreme Court orders. The share of the Board's yearly income spent on welfare schemes fell from 25.12 per cent in 2017-18 to 0.53 per cent in 2021-22.
What the audit measured
The proportion of workers' claims left pending rose from 0.26 per cent to 100 per cent over 2017-22. Administrative expenditure, which the rules cap at five per cent, ran between 13 and 63 per cent from 2019-20 to 2021-22. The Commissioner and Director of Municipal Administration retained ₹196.79 crore of labour cess instead of transferring it to the Board, and ₹5.11 crore was short-collected in the work bills test-checked. No inspection — online or physical — was carried out on any establishment during 2017-22. The Board kept no cash book, did not reconcile with its bank, and had its accounts for 2017-18 to 2021-22 audited only in May 2023.
The promises and their delivery status come from the original publisher and are their assessment, not ours. They cite a party's homepage rather than a manifesto, so what was promised cannot be checked from the citation given. Audit India has verified neither the wording nor the status.
Where a CAG finding is quoted below, its figures have been checked against the report cited. Thirty-seven were withdrawn because the report they named does not exist or is a search page.
Give every household three free gas cylinders a year, and ₹1,500 a month to every woman aged 19 to 59 — two of the six "Super Six" pledges.
Deepam 2.0 launched July 2024: free gas cylinder per month to Antyodaya/BPL/AAY households (starting at 1 cylinder/month); ₹1,500 cash to "eligible" women. Implementation has been selective — full ₹1,500/month to all women not achieved; cylinder delivery behind schedule in some districts due to supply chain constraints. Budget pressure cited.
Free bus travel for women on all APSRTC buses
Free bus pass for women on APSRTC launched shortly after TDP-NDA government took office (June 2024). Scheme covers ordinary and express APSRTC services; ~1.5 crore women beneficiaries. APSRTC loss of ~₹1,500 crore/year compensated by GoAP subsidy.
Anna Canteen: meals at ₹5 and free food for poor
Anna Canteen reopened by TDP government (Jagan had closed it in 2019). 196 canteens operational across 13 districts serving ~3 lakh meals/day at ₹5. Free meals for below-poverty beneficiaries. TDP fulfilled this promise quickly as it was part of the "Super 6" headline.
Rytu Bharosa: ₹20,000/year input assistance to all farmers
Jagan's YSR Rythu Bharosa was ₹13,500/year (₹7,500 state + PM-KISAN ₹6,000). TDP promised to enhance to ₹20,000/year. In 2024-25, GoAP paid ₹9,000 (state) + PM-KISAN ₹6,000 = ₹15,000 — improvement but below the ₹20,000 promise. Further enhancement subject to fiscal space.
Resume and complete Amaravati capital city construction by 2027
TDP top priority after taking office: Amaravati construction resumed June 2024 after 5-year Jagan-era freeze. Singapore-designed capital plan restarted; contractors remobilised. Key buildings (High Court, Secretariat) at 50-80% completion when frozen; resumption is proceeding but 2027 completion for full city is highly ambitious — most estimates suggest 2029+.
Free electricity up to 200 units per month for all households
TDP delivered free power to agriculture (7-9 hours/day) and BPL households (up to 100 units free) from 2024. The 200-unit free scheme for all households not fully operationalised; middle-income households benefit from lower slab rates but not zero-bill. DISCOMs' accumulated losses (~₹90,000 crore from YSRCP era) constrain full delivery.
Complete Polavaram Irrigation Project — the lifeline of Andhra Pradesh
CAG Performance Audit of the Polavaram Irrigation Project (2025): the cost estimate rose from ₹16,010.45 crore (2010-11 price level, first revised estimate) to ₹55,548.87 crore (2017-18 price level, accepted February 2019) — a 247 per cent increase. The project involves displacement of 1.06 lakh project-displaced families, whose rehabilitation the audit found had made meagre progress, both physically and financially.
Swarna Andhra 2047: create 20 lakh jobs; attract ₹10 lakh crore investment in 5 years
TDP hosted Andhra Pradesh Global Investors Summit (APGIS) in March 2025, attracting MOUs worth ₹12.5 lakh crore — though actual FDI realisation is typically 10–15% of MOU value. Semiconductor/electronics investment by FoxConn, TATA Electronics and others announced for Kopparthy electronics manufacturing cluster. 20 lakh job target has no verified tracking mechanism. AP's chronic fiscal crisis (revenue deficit ~₹30,000 crore/year, inherited from YSRCP term) constrains public sector employment.
End illegal sand mining mafia; supply free sand to AP homebuilders
TDP promised to dismantle the sand syndicate that flourished under YSRCP and resume free sand supply to house-construction beneficiaries. Free sand scheme reinstated for PMAY-G and housing beneficiaries in select districts. However river-bed illegal mining continues in Krishna and Godavari. The ₹11,000+ crore sand mining revenue target for 2024-25 was not met.
CAG Report No. 1 of 2025 (Performance Audit on the Functioning of the Mines and Geology Department): Andhra Pradesh had still not framed a State Mineral Policy. Mining plans were approved without applying the United Nations Framework Classification, inflating both mineral reserves and the life of leases. The department allowed lessees to excavate without environmental clearance and beyond the permitted quantity, contrary to Supreme Court directions, and did not recover the cost of what was illegally extracted. Mineral revenue assessments and demand-collection-balance registers were not maintained, and minerals taken for government works needed no clearance certificate at all, so the department did not know what had been extracted or what was owed.
Restructure and strengthen AP's public health infrastructure; 24×7 PHCs statewide
AP has 10,032 sub-centres and 1,650 PHCs; under TDP, upgrading 350 PHCs to 24×7 is in progress. YSR Aarogyasri (₹5 lakh health cover) continued from YSRCP. The CAG performance audit of public health infrastructure (Report No. 3 of 2024) found 743 of 3,316 sanctioned specialist and medical officer posts vacant in secondary healthcare, and intensive care units missing altogether in five of 12 district hospitals.
CAG Report No. 3 of 2024 (Performance Audit on Public Health Infrastructure and Management of Health Services in Andhra Pradesh): 743 of 3,316 sanctioned specialist and medical officer posts were vacant in secondary healthcare, and 149 of 608 Professor and 156 of 744 Associate Professor posts were vacant across 11 government medical colleges. Intensive care units were absent in five of 12 district hospitals, and equipment in intensive care and obstetric high-dependency units lay non-functional for want of staff. No test-checked secondary facility had the full range of laboratory services. Near-expiry drugs worth ₹2.14 crore were distributed to health facilities from three central drug stores.
YSR Pension Kanuka: ₹2,500-10,000/month for elderly, disabled and widows
YSR Pension Kanuka launched 2019: ₹2,500/month to senior citizens, widows, disabled, weavers and toddy tappers. Enhanced to ₹2,750 (2021) and ₹3,000 (2023). 60 lakh beneficiaries; delivered door-to-door by volunteers each month on 11th of the month. Considered YSRCP's most successful and visible delivery.
YSR Rythu Bharosa: ₹13,500/year input assistance to all AP farmers
YSR Rythu Bharosa: ₹7,500 state + ₹6,000 PM-KISAN = ₹13,500 annually. 56 lakh farmer families enrolled. Paid in 3 instalments. Consistently delivered through the 2019-24 YSRCP term; one of the larger state-level farmer support programmes in India.
YSR Zero Interest Loan Scheme for SHG women (0% interest on loans up to ₹3 lakh)
YSR Sunna Vaddi: government pays interest on SHG loans up to ₹3 lakh; 27 lakh SHG women benefited across DWACRA groups. Annual interest subvention ~₹800 crore. Recognised as a major driver of rural women's economic participation in AP.
Jagananna Amma Vodi: ₹15,000/year for mothers whose children attend government school
Amma Vodi launched January 2020: ₹15,000/year paid directly to eligible mothers who enrol their children in government schools. Enrolled 43 lakh children; 37 lakh mothers benefited annually. Government school enrolment increased significantly — from 38 lakh (2019) to 54 lakh (2023). One of India's most innovative school attendance incentive schemes.
YSR Aarogyasri: enhance healthcare coverage to ₹5 lakh per family annually
YSR Aarogyasri enhanced from ₹2.5 lakh (TDP era) to ₹5 lakh/year per family (2019). 72 lakh families covered at 1,000+ empanelled hospitals. Treatment packages expanded to 2,826 procedures. Dialysis, cardiac procedures and cancer treatment added. Scheme considered YSRCP's key healthcare achievement.
Three capitals model: Legislative (Amaravati), Executive (Vizag), Judicial (Kurnool)
YSRCP attempted a three-capital model to decentralise governance and balance regional development. Legislature passed the AP Decentralisation Act 2020; AP High Court issued a stay. Three-capital plan effectively stalled for 4 of the 5-year term; no executive functions shifted to Vizag. AP HC stay and legal battles consumed much of the tenure. TDP reversed the plan entirely in 2024.
Village and Ward Secretariat system: government services at the doorstep in every village
YSRCP's most ambitious governance reform: 10,778 village secretariats and 3,732 ward secretariats established with multi-function civil servants serving 50–100 households each. Services include pensions, ration cards, health referrals and certificates. Considered a landmark in last-mile delivery. TDP retained the secretariat system (renaming it) after 2024; the basic architecture survived the change of government — a testament to its effectiveness.
Complete Polavaram Project and provide irrigation to 7.5 lakh acres in AP delta
YSRCP inherited Polavaram from TDP (which had started construction post-bifurcation). Under Jagan (2019–2024) the project's cost estimate was revised to ₹55,548.87 crore at 2017-18 prices — against ₹16,010.45 crore at 2010-11 prices, a 247 per cent increase — making it the most expensive state irrigation project in India. Coffer dam breached in 2020, 2021 and 2022 floods, each time causing delays and losses. Tribal R&R resettlement remained incomplete for over 1.06 lakh families. Project remains unfinished when YSRCP left power.
CAG Report No. 4 of 2025 (Performance Audit on the Polavaram Irrigation Project): the headworks remained incomplete 17 years after work began; ₹7,422.69 crore of headworks was awarded and ₹5,757.48 crore spent. Because the spillway and spill channel were unfinished, the river could not be diverted and floodwater passed through gaps in the cofferdam, damaging both the cofferdams and the diaphragm wall — still not rectified as of March 2023. Of 1,06,006 displaced families, 56,495 of them tribal, only 11,677 — 11 per cent — had been rehabilitated.
End sand mafia; supply free sand to house-construction beneficiaries under government schemes
Jagan's 2019 promise of crushing the sand cartel and providing free sand was one of his most prominent pre-election pledges. Free sand scheme launched — but implementation became mired in YSRCP-linked contractors allegedly controlling district sand reaches. The sand mafia became one of the loudest TDP opposition attack lines during 2019-24, pointing to YSRCP insider involvement.
CAG Report No. 1 of 2025 (Performance Audit on the Functioning of the Mines and Geology Department): the department did not comply with the Supreme Court's direction that minerals excavated without, or in excess of, an environmental clearance are illegal and their cost recoverable — it allowed such excavation and did not recover the cost. Mineral concession applications were processed opaquely, the committee constituted to monitor them was non-functional, inoperative leases were not resumed, and lease deeds went unexecuted, costing stamp duty and registration revenue.
YSR Cheyutha: ₹75,000 over 4 years for BC/SC/ST/minority women entrepreneurs aged 45-60
YSR Cheyutha launched 2020: ₹18,750/year × 4 years = ₹75,000 per beneficiary for women in the 45-60 age bracket from BC, SC, ST and minority communities to support self-employment. 23.64 lakh women enrolled; total outlay ~₹4,500 crore over the 4-year YSRCP term. Delivered without Aadhaar-seeding issues that plagued similar schemes in other states. Considered one of YSRCP's more targeted welfare successes.
End child marriage and improve adolescent girl nutrition in tribal areas
AP child marriage rate declined from 32.9% (NFHS-4) to 24.8% (NFHS-5) during 2015-21 — a significant drop but still well above the national target. Anganwadi nutrition programmes in Alluri Sitharama Raju and Parvathipuram-Manyam improved reach. The CAG performance audit of public health infrastructure (Report No. 3 of 2024) records no anaemia prevalence figure for these districts; what it does record is that the department kept no centralised database of sanctioned posts, staff in position or unit-wise deployment anywhere in the health system.
CAG Report No. 5 of 2025 (Compliance Audit on the Sampoorna Poshana Scheme), which audits the supplementary nutrition given to pregnant women, nursing mothers and children aged six to 72 months through Anganwadi centres, is the audit that covers this ground. The public health audit of 2024 carries no anaemia or Anganwadi vacancy figure for the tribal districts.
