HYDERABAD: It is possible that you have embarked on a mission to build a new capital of his state, but the head of Andhra Pradesh N Chandrababu Naidu minister seemed in a hurry to leave his favorite city of Hyderabad and is in fact planning to renovate his Jubilee Hills residence.
In a politically charged statement that may cause strong reactions in Telangana Rashtra Samithi camp (TRS) Naidu on Sunday said: "I've been living in Hyderabad for the past 30 years and I will continue to live here in the future."
Speaking at a post-Dasara 'Alai Balai' (meet) organized by the BJP MP Bandaru Dattatreya Secunderbad, Naidu urged Telugu speaking people live in harmony, regardless of its roots Seemandhra and Telangana.
While the statement may not amuse his nemesis and chief K Chandrasekhar Rao Telangana, who want to see the AP government to pack your suitcase and leave Hyderabad soon, Minister Dattatreya made two key ministers hug and pose for photographs at the get together. Interestingly, Chandrasekhar Rao had arrived early and was on his way when Naidu entered the place. As they crossed their paths, the BJP MP stopped, and the two chief ministers were forced to exchange pleasantries. Although KCR surprised to suddenly see Naidu walk in, the latter stepped forward to hug and gave photographers a chance to click the duo together, sources said.
Then, addressing the meeting, Naidu said: "The state could have been divided geographically, but the people are united in his mind must have an enabling environment for Telugu speaking people can live in harmony.".
"Hyderabad has been my city for the past 30 years, and will become tomorrow," he added.
The policy statement assumes significance in view of the above statement of Naidu in May this year that he would not leave Hyderabad Telugu Desam Party until (TDP) comes to power in Telangana. "Seemandhra and Telangana are like my two eyes. Some people are waiting for me to exit Hyderabad, but not me.'m Not leaving Hyderabad until TDP comes to power in Telangana. And no doubt win the next election, in Telangana and AP, "Naidu told party during its plenary Mahanadu.
It is also significant as Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation elections (GHMC) are due in December and the TDP-BJP combine had emerged stronger in assembly polls winning 15 of the 24 seats in the GHMC limits. The TDP only won 10 assembly segments, while TRS bagged only one seat in Hyderabad (TRS candidate won Padma Rao Goud cantonment constituency). Analysts say the clear statement of Naidu was directed to send a strong message before the elections GHMC voters.
Also, the statement comes at a time when the TRS is looking to attract TDP MLAs into its fold with party supporters projecting that up to 10 of the 15 TDP legislators is all set to cross. Meanwhile, sources close to the family said Naidu AP chief minister planned to demolish their existing house in Jubilee Hills and rebuild it to make it more spacious for your family to settle permanently in Hyderabad.
The house was built in 1990 on a plot of 6,000 square meters with two bedrooms and Naidu lives there with his wife Bhuvaneswari, son Nara Lokesh and daughter-in-law Brahmini. With Brahmini expecting a baby, sources Naidu wants the house to reform, adapting to the needs of the family said. "Before, the idea was to renovate the house to add some rooms. But later the decision to demolish and completely rebuild was taken," a source said.
Naidu's family moves temporarily in Lake View Guest House, which is now serving as the office of the CM field or farm house in Madinaguda family.
