Lokesh recalls Naidu's contribution after becoming CM of undivided AP 30 years ago
IT, Electronics and HRD Minister Nara Lokesh on Monday recalled how his father N. Chandrababu Naidu led transformation of IT in Hyderabad after assuming as Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh 30 years ago.
He took to X to say "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. From retooling governance with technology to catalyzing investment and jobs, this journey has been about turning possibilities into reality and aspirations into durable institutions."
He said: "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. The ‘CBN playbook’ blended speed with accountability, building resilient infrastructure, data-driven services, and platforms that empower citizens and enterprises alike."
He said"by creating poverty alleviation schemes and reservation policies, Mr. Naidu’s tenure has been marked by a remarkable improvement in social justice and the empowerment of the weakest."
The post made by Lokesh stated "his epoch-making tenure saw water changing the lives in the heartland: 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, enabling multiple crops, stabilizing village tanks, and strengthening farm incomes through drought cycles." He hastened to add upcoming irrigation schemes like Polavaram and Banakacherla will transform Rayalaseema into Ratnalaseema.
He said: "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, the work remains 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."
