TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu said his prerogative and resolve was to make India “Numero Uno” in the world and ensure that the people of Telugu community occupied the top position. Mr. Naidu was visiting the Tirumala temple when he spoke to reporters.
“It has always been my dream and I have been working for it for the past 45 years of my political career,” said the former Chief Minister.
“Studying the progress achieved by other countries and applying their technology for the well-being and advantage of the people of the state has always remained my passion,” he told the media on Friday.
Mr. Naidu had recently been granted regular bail in the skill development scam case on November 20, having been arrested on September 8. A Supreme Court bench on December 8 will examine an appeal filed by Andhra Pradesh against the grant of regular bail.
The TDP chief evaded a question on when would he turn politically active and face the public, saying he would reveal it later.
“I will definitely keep you informed about my future plan of action but at present, I am planning to visit a couple of more temples after going from here. Lord Venkateswara is our family deity and its the reason why I have prioritised my visit to the hill temple,” he said.
He added that he had make it a practice to seek the deity’s blessings ahead of embarking on any major task in his life.
Striking a nostalgic chord he said that he was born and brought up at a village at the foot of the hill temple town and attributed the reasons for his survival in the Alipiri bomb blast to the blessings of Lord Venkateswara.
“Even recently, when I was surrounded by difficulties and subjected to severe hardships it was only with his blessings that I could overcome the strenuous phase,” he said, and conveyed his gratitude to the people of the State for extending their solidarity to him during turbulent times.
