    TDP will win glory again in Telangana: Chandrababu Naidu

    Hyderabad: Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national President Nara Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday exuded confidence that his party will regain full glory in Telangana.

    Addressing TDP leaders and workers at the party’s Telangana headquarters here, the former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh said that he has no doubt that the party will regain its glory.

    He asked the party cadres to work hard to once again develop the TDP into a major political force in Telangana.

    Naidu, who was Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh between 1995 and 2004, claimed that if Telangana has achieved huge progress and today emerged as the number one state in the country, it was because of the foundation laid by the TDP.

    “If you see Hitec City, Cyberabad, Airport, Metro and Genome Valley, the effort made by the TDP is clearly visible,” he said.

    Naidu also stated that after bifurcation Telangana’s economy improved and it marched ahead as the Chief Ministers who came after that did not stop development and did not resort to destruction. “When it comes to Andhra Pradesh, there was destruction, development was stopped and people’s lives thrown into darkness,” he said exuding confidence that the TDP will return to power in Andhra Pradesh.

    This was Naidu’s first visit to Hyderabad after he was recently re-elected as the President of the TDP at the party’s annual conclave at Rajahmundry.

    Naidu’s visit and meeting with Telangana TDP leaders also assume significance in the wake of his meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP national President JP Nadda in Delhi on June 3.

    The TDP President’s meeting with Amit Shah, the first since 2018, came amid reports that TDP and BJP are keen to revive their alliance in Telugu states.

    Assembly elections in Telangana are scheduled towards the end of 2023 while elections to Andhra Pradesh Assembly are due along with Lok Sabha polls next year.

    “I have no doubt that after these two elections, the TDP will emerge as the most powerful party of Telugus,” said Naidu at the meeting in Hyderabad on Tuesday.

    The TDP had pulled out of the BJP-led NDA in 2018 over the issue of special category status to Andhra Pradesh. The party had fought 2018 Assembly elections in alliance with Congress and smaller parties but had to bite the dust.

    The TDP went alone in Andhra Pradesh but lost power to the YSR Congress Party. After the crushing defeat, Naidu softened his stand towards the BJP and is now keen to join hands with it in both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

  • Government attached Chandrababu Naidu’s guest house

    Government attached Chandrababu Naidu’s guest house

    Vijayawada: The state government is now embroiled in a new controversy over the alleged quid pro quo in the inner ring road project which is part of Amaravati master plan.

    The state CID on Sunday alleged that the then chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu had shown undue favour to Lingamaneni family and in return got the guest house owned by Lingamaneni Ramesh as gratification and attached the guest house which has been under occupation of Naidu since 2014.

    The attachment was based on GO No 80 issued by Home Department. It stated that the attachment of the property was made under the charges of offences involving conspiracy, criminal breach of trust, cheating, criminal misconduct by public servants. The government claims that the house was illegal gratification and kept at the disposal of Naidu on free of cost basis as quid- pro-quo for the gains which accrued from the alignment of the inner Ring Road and the zonal development plans for Katheru, Kaza and Namburu villages of Guntur district.

    The order gave authorisation to the investigation officer for filing an application before the Court of Special Judge for SPE & ACB cases, Vijayawada for attachment of immovable property under the criminal law amendment ordinance, 1944 (Ordinance No XXXVIII of 1994).

    A case was also registered charging A-1 N Chandrababu Naidu, the then Chief Minister and A-2 P Narayana, the then Minister for Municipal administration and Urban Development. The TDP which is now contemplating to take recourse to legal action claims that this was an attempt of the government to divert that attention of the people from the likely arrest of its MP Avinash Reddy who is a cousin of CM Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy.

    The party leaders said the guest house was owned by Lingamaneni Ramesh and Naidu had taken it on rent and continues to pay rent for which he has proper receipts as well. They also said that the YSRCP had scrapped the inner ring road project soon after it came to power even before it took off.

    They further say that the Lingamaneni family lost 14 acres of land due to inner ring road alignment. The lands of Lingamaneni are at a distance of 4 to 10 km from proposed inner ring road and hence there was no possibility of any undue benefit shown to Lingamaneni.
