We don't want bureaucratic governance: Chandrababu

"We don't want bureaucratic governance. We are in a democracy and, hence, we are accountable to the people," the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister said while signalling a marked departure from his previous stint as Chief Minister.

He would run his government on political lines rather than follow bureaucratic terms. It will now be political governance in the state and not bureaucratic governance.

Addressing a workshop of Telugu Desam Party's elected public representatives at the party headquarters in Hyderabad, Naidu said political governance was the need of the hour as the state was left with a host of problems (due to bifurcation). Bureaucratic governance is one which is run by Chief Secretary, Secretaries, Collectors, IAS and IPS officers.

"We don't want that. At the end of five years we have to go to the people again and seek their mandate. We are accountable to the people. So, I will give political governance to the state," he said.
