The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) National President N. Chandrababu Naidu has been unanimously elected as Leader of the House in Andhra Pradesh by the partners of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
In a meeting of Telugu Desam Party, Janasena and BJP legislators, held today in Vijayawada, the MLAs elected Naidu unanimously after Janasena chief Pawan Kalyan proposed him as the leader, who was also supported by state BJP chief D Purandeswari. TDP leader K Achen Naidu said that earlier in the morning Naidu was unanimously elected the leader of the TDP legislative party. Meanwhile, Janasena founder Pawan Kalyan was elected as the party's floor leader in the assembly.
Addressing the meeting, Naidu said, ‘With all your cooperation, I am swearing in tomorrow (as the CM) and I would like to thank you all for that. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is coming for the swearing-in ceremony.’ He vowed that Amaravati would be the sole state capital and also promised to complete the Polavaram Project. He added that Visakhapatnam will be developed as the economic capital and an advanced special city.
TDP Chief further said he had reviewed many elections in the past, but the 2024 polls gave him the greatest satisfaction. Incidentally, the victory enabled NDA leaders from the southern state to command respect in New Delhi. He also termed the landslide victory of the NDA as unprecedented.
The NDA comprising TDP, BJP and Janasena won a landslide victory in the recently concluded simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly elections in the southern state with a brute majority of 164 Assembly and 21 Lok Sabha seats. N. Chandrababu Naidu is scheduled to take oath as CM on Wednesday at Kesarapalli IT park near Gannavaram Airport in Amaravati.
