Naidu’s road shows in Hyderabad draw huge crowds

​Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu turned emotional during the road show conducted in Greater Hyderabad limits on Thursday.  Campaigning for ‘People’s Front’ candidates for a second consecutive day, the TDP chief credited himself for developing the IT sector in Hyderabad and claimed Cyberabad as his brainchild. He also projected himself as an architect of modern Telangana.    

“Who built Cyberabad? Who brought Microsoft to Hyderabad? Is it not me?” he asked the crowd attending his road shows. He recalled how he placed the city on the world IT map by bringing in global giants and creating world-class infrastructure. “Who built the international airport? Who built 165-km long world-class Outer Ring Road?” he asked amid loud cheers from the crowd.

Taking strong exception to KCR’s derogatory comments against him, Naidu said that he is a citizen of this country. He has a right to come to Telangana. “I have not come here to become the Chief Minister. I can’t become. This is a reality,” said Naidu, who also dismissed TRS’ allegation that if ‘People’s Front’ comes to power in Telangana, Naidu would work against the State's interests. 

He claimed he always worked for the development and welfare of Telangana and this region is dear to his heart. “Can a lower riparian State stall the projects,” was his counter to TRS allegation that he was creating hurdles for irrigation projects in Telangana.
