Happy birthday to Shri Naidu Garu. A youthful minister in a crucial ministry gives hope. Hope the reforms bring down airfare and improve airport infrastructure across Tier 2 & 3 cities. Jai Hind!

While birthday wishes are nice, I hope the work speaks louder. The aviation sector has many challenges - high taxes on fuel, congestion. Let's see concrete action, not just social media posts. Wishing him well regardless.

Interesting to see the GI tag for Ponduru Khadi mentioned too. It's good when ministers also highlight local crafts from their constituency. Shows a more holistic approach to development. Happy birthday to the Minister!

A young MP from Andhra Pradesh handling such a big portfolio. Bahut accha hai. Hope he brings fresh ideas. The UDAN scheme needs more push. Birthday wishes from all top leaders shows good teamwork in the government.
