In a promising development for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), N Chandrababu Naidu, the President of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), expressed his contentment and joy over the coalition's ascension to power at the Centre.
During the NDA gathering, Naidu commended Narendra Modi, endorsing him for a third consecutive term as Prime Minister on behalf of the TDP.
Consistently, Naidu reiterated his satisfaction with the formation of the NDA government, deeming it a momentous occasion. He expressed confidence that, under PM Modi's stewardship and collective efforts, India could achieve the status of a poverty-free nation.
Set to assume office as Chief Minister for the fourth time following the landslide victory of the TDP-led alliance in Andhra Pradesh, Naidu hailed PM Modi as a visionary leader, deeming him aptly suited for the current juncture in India's trajectory.
"He embodies the right leadership at the right time. This presents a tremendous opportunity for India," remarked Naidu, expressing optimism that India could attain top global rankings under PM Modi's guidance.
Naidu also commended PM Modi's vision for a 'Viksit Bharat' (developed India) by 2047, highlighting his global acclaim as a leader who brings pride to India.
Reflecting on his extensive political career spanning four decades, the 74-year-old asserted that PM Modi stands out as the only leader to have elevated India's global stature significantly.
During the meeting, Naidu visibly expressed his appreciation, frequently applauding alongside PM Modi as leaders from the BJP and NDA allies lauded the Prime Minister.
He also engaged in discussions with PM Modi, acknowledging the latter's vigorous election campaign in Andhra Pradesh, which instilled confidence among the populace regarding the Centre's support for the state.
Anticipating PM Modi's swearing-in on June 9, Naidu affirmed his decision to take oath as Chief Minister thereafter. He plans to extend invitations to PM Modi, central ministers, BJP leaders, and NDA constituents for the ceremony on June 12.
This gesture not only signifies Naidu's commitment to bolstering ties with the NDA but also aims to convey his steadfast dedication to nurturing a lasting alliance with the ruling coalition.
Furthermore, Naidu's forthcoming swearing-in ceremony is poised to send a clear message to the opposition, particularly the INDIA bloc led by Mallikarjun Kharge, signaling his intent to fortify his association with the NDA and potentially thwart any attempts to sway him towards the opposition camp.
