-‘I served meals to get ISB to Hyderabad’
-Jagan destroyed Rs 3 Cr Lakh asset in Amaravati
-TDP brought 500 global companies in united State
AMARAVATI: TDP National President and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Friday recalled how his all out efforts could finally bring the Indian School of Business (ISB) to Hyderabad in the united AP.
“PM addressed ISB 20th annual day celebrations. It brought back many memories to me. The PM did not mention my name. It doesn’t matter. I did that for my Telugu race and it gives me satisfaction,” quipped Naidu.
The TDP chief said when he sent an invitation to the ISB think tank, they said they were considering Bangalore, Mumbai and Chennai with Hyderabad not even on their list. “I requested them over the phone to come for breakfast and coffee. I sent my Ministers to receive them at the airport. I served them meals personally. Lot of effort was made for that.”
Chandrababu Naidu said the then Prime Minister Vajpayee came and laid the foundation stone for ISB Hyderabad. It became a jewel eventually. The TDP brought hundreds of such jewels for the sake of Telugu people. Genome Valley came to the rescue of the entire country at the height of the Coronavirus pandemic.
Naidu pointed out that the people of neighbouring State were reaping rich benefits out of the institutions and projects brought by the TDP regime. A new direction was given to shift from physical labour to mind-based endeavours. This was why IT was developed in a big way. Now, the Telugu girls were going abroad and earning more than their male counterparts.
The TDP chief deplored that the people of residual Andhra Pradesh suffered greatly because of bifurcation. The TDP rule came out with a 2029 Vision to develop AP on a par with its sister State. As part of this vision only, Amaravati Capital was visualised and it was developed into a Rs. 3 Lakh Cr asset. What crime had Amaravati committed that Jagan Reddy had destroyed the Capital?
Chandrababu Naidu said Polavaram was a boon for farmers of the whole AP but it was also crushed in the name of reverse tenders. The TDP laid 20,000 kilometers of cement roads in villages in five years. The Jagan regime did not lay even 2 kilometers of roads till now.
