Additionally, he said that the development of UP and Bihar is necessary for the Viksit Bharat 2047 mission by the central government.

On December 26, Andhra Pradesh CM N Chandrababu Naidu spoke at the Bharatiya Vigyan Sammelan (BVS) at the National Sanskrit University in Tirupati, and highlighted the global success of Indians, noting that around 4-5 crore Indians currently live abroad and often have the highest per capita income in many countries.

Echoing Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat, he stressed that population focus is key to India's long-term growth.

"From India, 4-5 crore people are outside India. If you go to any country today, the highest per capita income is among the Indians there. As Mohan Bhagwat ji has always said that every couple should have three children. This is very important. If we focus on population, 2047 and centuries beyond, it will be only India which will dominate," CM Naidu said.

While I respect the sentiment, I wish our leaders would talk as passionately about fixing Andhra's roads and water problems as they do about temples and population growth. Governance is about delivering basic amenities first. Just my two paise.

He is absolutely right about UP and Bihar. The development of the Hindi heartland is crucial for a truly 'Viksit Bharat'. If these states progress, it will lift the entire nation's economy. Good to see cross-state appreciation between CMs.

Interesting to see the focus on population. As an outsider, I find the call for three children per couple a complex topic, especially with India's huge population base. The link between population and long-term dominance is a debated economic theory.

Jai Shri Ram! 🚩 The mandir is a dream come true for millions. Naidu garu is correct that it will become a global spiritual hub. Our culture and values are our real strength, and this temple stands as a testament to that.

The part about Indians abroad having the highest per capita income fills me with pride. It shows our capability and hard work. But we must also ensure that talent finds enough opportunities within India itself, so they don't *have* to leave.
