Minister for IT Nara Lokesh tweeted on Monday (September 01) that the swearing-in of N. Chandrababu Naidu as the Chief Minister for the first time 30 years ago marked the dawn of an era that accelerated the rise of Andhra Pradesh. He stated that from retooling governance with technology to catalyzing investment and jobs, Mr. Chandrababu Naidu’s journey has been about turning possibilities into reality and aspirations into durable institutions.
From HITEC City and Genome Valley, that powered a new tech identity, to Amaravati, which symbolized the collective will to build a future-ready city, Mr. Naidu’s leadership stitched together innovation, infrastructure and inclusion.
The CBN playbook blended speed with accountability, building resilient infrastructure, data-driven services, and platforms that empower citizens and enterprises alike. By creating poverty alleviation schemes and reservation policies, Mr. Naidu brought about a remarkable improvement in social justice and empowerment of the weakest.
Mr. Naidu’s epoch-making tenure saw water changing the lives in the heartland by carrying Krishna waters through Handri–Neeva to the parched Rayalaseema region irrigating lakhs of acres across Kurnool, Anantapur, Kadapa and Chittoor district and providing drinking water to millions.
“Thirty years is more than a milestone. It is a living legacy. From HITEC City to Quantum frontiers, from biotech aspirations to data-driven economies, his work is a legacy in progress. Warm greetings on completing three decades sir, a person I am privileged to call ‘Nanna’ at home and ‘Boss’ at work. Still young at heart and steadied by experience, our Chief Minister stands ready to meet new challenges with clarity, courage, and conviction,” Mr. Lokesh added.
