All eyes are on her... the red pouch she carries… and the tab where Andhra Pradesh’s fate is written. What will she say about AP? It’s been ten years since the bifurcation, and the state is still struggling for development. With NDA in power in AP, supported by TDP and Jana Sena at the center, there’s buzz that this budget might bring some good news.
Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, with his vast political experience and connections, is making every effort to bring development to the state. Upon taking office, he immediately started working on how to leverage his influence in Delhi. Naidu has met with Prime Minister Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, and ministers from defense, commerce, roads, transport, agriculture, rural development, housing, energy, and petroleum departments. He presented memoranda detailing the state's needs in these sectors.
Naidu held extensive discussions about the state's challenges, seeking support for various sectors. He also met with the chairman of the 16th Finance Commission, Arvind Panagariya, and invited several industrialists to invest in Andhra Pradesh. To expedite the process, he even hosted a dinner for senior central officials, urging them to respond swiftly to the state's needs. This proactive approach is a hallmark of Naidu’s leadership.
Naidu’s dedication to the state's development is evident. He is not bound by ego or unnecessary formalities, focusing solely on the state's vision and progress. This trait, his ability to put state needs above all, makes him stand out.
