Marking a significant political milestone, IT and HRD Minister Nara Lokesh on Monday congratulated his father, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, on completing 30 years since first assuming office as Chief Minister on September 1, 1995. Sharing a photograph from Naidu’s first swearing-in ceremony on X, Lokesh mentioned, “Thirty years ago today, Shri N Chandrababu Naidu took oath for the first time as Chief Minister, marking the dawn of an era that reimagined Andhra Pradesh’s ambitions and accelerated its rise."

He praised Naidu’s pioneering vision in technology-driven governance, citing landmarks such as HITEC City, Genome Valley, and the conceptualization of Amaravati as a futuristic capital.

“From HITEC City and Genome Valley powering a new tech identity, to Amaravati symbolizing our will to build future-ready urbanism, his leadership stitched together innovation, infrastructure, and inclusion," Lokesh said.

Highlighting his father’s commitment to social justice, Lokesh noted that poverty alleviation schemes and reservation policies during Naidu’s tenure opened doors of opportunity for marginalized communities. “By creating poverty alleviation schemes and reservation policies, my father’s tenure has been marked by a remarkable improvement in social justice and the empowerment of the weakest," he added.

Lokesh also credited Naidu’s irrigation projects with transforming Rayalaseema’s fortunes. “By carrying Krishna waters through Handri–Neeva and key lift linkages, the parched Rayalaseema region gained assured irrigation and drinking water — greening lakhs of acres across Kurnool, Anantapur, Kadapa, and Chittoor," he wrote, adding that projects like Polavaram and Banakacherla will further turn the region into ‘Ratnalaseema.’

Calling the three-decade journey “a living legacy," Lokesh ended his tribute with a personal note, “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."
