PM Modi wishes "long and healthy life" to Andhra CM Chandrababu Naidu on his birthday

PM Narendra Modi wishes Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu a long, healthy life, calling him a "good friend" and praising state's progress.

"Best wishes to Andhra Pradesh's hardworking Chief Minister and my good friend, Shri Chandrababu Naidu Garu. - Prime Minister Narendra Modi"

New Delhi, April 20

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday extended birthday greetings to Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, wishing him a "long and healthy life."

In a post on X, the PM called CM Naidu his "good friend" and lauded the growth of Andhra Pradesh under the latter's leadership.

"Best wishes to Andhra Pradesh's hardworking Chief Minister and my good friend, Shri Chandrababu Naidu Garu. Under his leadership, Andhra Pradesh is scaling new heights of progress across all sectors. May he be blessed with a long and healthy life in service of the people," the PM wrote.

Chandrababu Naidu took the oath as Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister for his fourth term in June 2024.

Naidu was sworn in as the 18th CM of Andhra Pradesh in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other leaders of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

Naidu became chief minister first in 1995, before the Andhra bifurcation, and he led the state until 2004 for nine consecutive years. The TDP supremo returned as the chief minister of the bifurcated Andhra in 2014 and served until 2019.

Naidu had led the TDP- BJP-Janasena National Democratic Alliance to a landslide victory in the Assembly as well as parliamentary elections.

The TDP holds the majority in Andhra Pradesh's 175-member assembly with 135 MLAs, while its allies, the Janasena Party, have 21 and the BJP has eight.

As someone from Andhra, I have seen the development under Naidu Garu's leadership. The focus on IT and infrastructure in Amaravati was visionary. Hoping this NDA alliance brings more stability and progress to our state. Happy birthday to our CM!

Respectful wishes are fine, but I hope this friendship translates into concrete central support for Andhra Pradesh. We are still dealing with the aftermath of bifurcation. Promises like special category status need to be fulfilled. Actions speak louder than birthday tweets.

The political equations have changed so much! From being opponents to allies... shows politics is dynamic. A strong NDA in the south is good for the country's overall development. Janasena-BJP-TDP combo looks powerful.

Interesting to read about Indian political dynamics. The longevity of some leaders, like Naidu serving multiple terms over decades, is quite remarkable. The personal note from the PM calling him a "good friend" adds a human touch to the news.
