He added, “As you all are aware, the people of our state have given Team TDP-JSP-BJP an overwhelming mandate to serve them with 164 seats in the Assembly. This was a result of all the hard work put in by our grassroots karyakartas, office bearers and leaders, who toiled day and night to take our team’s vision for the future to the people. Their devotion paved the way for a larger Team Andhra Pradesh to emerge, with people across the state unitedly pitching in as our fourth alliance partner with their votes. Ours will be a people’s government. We shall strive to fulfill their expectations and deliver a people-centric governance to the best of our abilities.”
Naidu becomes Andhra Pradesh CM for fourth time
This is the fourth time that Naidu has assumed charge as Andhra Chief Minister and the second time after the state’s bi-furcation in the year 2014. 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. TDP holds the majority in Andhra Pradesh 175-member assembly with 135 MLAs, while its allies, the Janasena Party, has 21 and BJP has eight. The opposition YSR Congress Party was been confined to 11 MLAs this assembly election.
