Chandrababu Naidu holds teleconference with NDA leaders; says Amaravati symbol of pride, self-respect for people of Andhra Pradesh

Andhra Pradesh CM Naidu welcomes PM Modi for Amaravati capital development, emphasizing equal regional development and economic growth.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has called for a grand welcome to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is visiting the State on May 2, 2025 for the restart of the Amaravati capital development work.

Mr. Naidu, in a teleconference with the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) leaders on Monday (April 28, 2025), urged that the event be made a success and emphasised that Amaravati is a symbol of self-respect for Telugu people. 

Every citizen should take pride in capital Amaravati, says Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu

The Chief Minister also said that no inconvenience should be caused to the people attending the event, and that the leaders should take responsibility to ensure smooth proceedings.

“Just as we want a good home for a family to live in, a capital city should be something the people should be proud of. The reason we are building Amaravati is that it will generate significant revenue for the State, just as Hyderabad generates revenue for Telangana, Bengaluru for Karnataka, and Chennai for Tamil Nadu,” he said.

The formation of educational institutions in North Andhra, in the Coastal areas, and Rayalaseema districts since 2014, as part of the NDA’s policy of decentralised development, aims to create equal development across all regions. “With a good capital city, we will ensure the State generates abundant revenue, which is why we are constructing Amaravati. It is the soul of the State,” he said.

Mr. Naidu said the government will soon begin the establishment of industrial parks in 42 constituencies across the State. In the coming days, the government will set up industrial parks in all 175 constituencies, taking steps toward the vision of “One Family, One Entrepreneur.” “The government will also begin construction of the Rayalaseema steel plant. Visakhapatnam will be developed as the economic capital, and Tirupati will be developed as a spiritual city,” he said.
