"Thinking small is impossible for Chandrababu Naidu": Defence Minister Rajnath Singh praises CM's vision, technology focus, development commitment

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh praises Andhra CM Chandrababu Naidu's vision, tech passion & development commitment at AMCA project launch in Puttaparthi.

"Thinking small is simply impossible - Rajnath Singh"

Puttaparthi, May 15

Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday praised Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu for his vision, technological focus and development-driven leadership during the foundation stone laying ceremony of the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft project in Puttaparthi.

Speaking at the ceremony, Singh showered praise on Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu for his vision, technological outlook, and commitment towards development.

Rajnath Singh stated that throughout his long political career, he had worked with numerous leaders and public representatives possessing great foresight. However, he remarked that the passion for technology, unwavering focus on development, and future-oriented thinking displayed by Chandrababu Naidu are qualities rarely found elsewhere.

"In my long public life, I have seen many leaders, and I have also had the opportunity to work with many representatives. I have worked with many visionary people, but the passion for technology, commitment to development, and the foresight to predict the future that we see in Naidu Garu is rarely seen," he said.

"In my view, when it comes to Mr Naidu, thinking small is simply impossible," Rajnath Singh remarked.

"And the commitment with which he has worked for the development of Andhra Pradesh, I want to say with conviction that it has been appreciated not only in India but also on international forums," he added.

Earlier, CM Naidu said the AMCA project reflects the state's "speed of doing business" as Andhra Pradesh aims to emerge as a major defence manufacturing hub.

Speaking at the ceremony, he said the project would strengthen India's indigenous defence capabilities and support Atmanirbhar Bharat in the aerospace sector.

He also described "Operation Sindoor" as an example of India's growing technological strength, according to the Andhra Pradesh CMO.

The ₹15,803-crore project, spread across around 650 acres, is expected to generate about 7,500 jobs and include a dedicated defence township, a release said.

Earlier, Naidu, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and state minister Nara Lokesh laid the foundation stone for the AMCA project and other defence initiatives under the Drone City programme.

The leaders also reviewed a defence exhibition showcasing missiles, firearms and a fighter aircraft prototype.

The project also includes a Flight Testing Centre, Naval Systems Facility, Defence Energetics units, ammunition plants and Drone City infrastructure projects.

Rajnath Singh's praise is well-deserved. Naidu's vision for technology and development is unmatched. But I hope the state government ensures that small farmers and local businesses benefit from these big projects too—not just the big corporations. Development should be inclusive.

"Thinking small is impossible"—that's a powerful line. Naidu's ability to dream big and execute is why AP is getting these projects. 7,500 jobs is no joke, and a defence township will boost the local economy. But I'm curious about the timeline—will these projects be completed on time? 🤔

Finally, some good news from Andhra! The AMCA project and Drone City are exactly what India needs for Atmanirbhar Bharat. But let's also talk about the opposition—they keep criticizing Naidu for everything, but can they deliver projects like this? Actions speak louder than words. 👏

Rajnath Singh's speech was nice, but let's not forget that Naidu's earlier track record in AP has been mixed. Yes, he's visionary, but what about the basic infrastructure in rural areas? Roads, water, electricity—those need attention too. A ₹15,803 crore project is great, but don't ignore the small things.

This is the kind of development we need—more defence manufacturing in India. Naidu and the central government working together is a good sign. But I'm skeptical about the job numbers. 7,500 jobs for such a massive investment? I hope there's more trickle-down benefits for local people. Still, a step in the right direction.
