Telugu Desam Party president N. Chandrababu Naidu has asserted that his “footprint” was clearly visible in every aspect of the development of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation as an investment destination.
Mr. Naidu took strong objection to the claims of TRS president and Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao that the TDP president better look after the development of his State rather than campaigning for his party’s nominees for the GHMC elections. “I am associated with Hyderabad ever since I first became the MLA in 1978. The TDP took birth in Hyderabad and the party is set to enhance its base further,” he said.
The TDP president recalled how he had created economic monuments in the form of the Hi-Tec city and Cyberabad which generated huge revenues as well as employment to locals. “The series of flyovers, IT establishment, Greenfield airport at Shamshabad, wide roads are all my creation. Successive governments could not maintain the eco system created by the TDP, much less bring any new projects to the city,” he averred.
He said the TDP was a party representing Telugus in general and the downtrodden sections in particular. “The TDP will be there wherever Telugu speaking people are there. I am not scared and am committed to protect the interests of the Telugu people,” he said. Asserting that the TDP would stand by the people settled here, he said he was in the neighbouring State, but could reach the city within half an hour as and when needed.
