My legislators devote most of their time to attend to people's problems. I want the people to devote more time and contribute to the development of the state.
— N. Chandrababu Naidu
I have tried for a year to work with the Telangana government.
Our government has this three-city concept where Tirupati will be a city of lakes and a tourist destination, Amaravati a blue-green city, and Visakhapatnam a beautiful city buzzing with economic activity and jobs.
Amaravati will be a world-class capital. It will be a health and tourist destination.
I have no ambitions to become the PM.
I am drawing my inspiration from resource-constrained developed nations like Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Dubai in attracting global investments. Compared with them, Andhra Pradesh has more resources to leverage on.
I am interested in creating model for the global community by using technology and creating ease of doing business, ease of living, and creating higher living standards in A.P.
In united Andhra Pradesh, I created a knowledge hub in Hyderabad. Bangalore, Hyderabad - these are places of the future.
My ambition is only to develop Andhra Pradesh.
I am quick to adopt new ideas. If there is something good, I will follow it and implement it. I adopted information technology in 1985.
Mr. Modi is responsible for everyone's misery, demonetisation disaster, destruction of all democratic institutions. He is creating problems for everybody: for political leaders, for media, for corporates. He is not following any democratic values.
I joined NDA because Andhra Pradesh needed the Centre's handholding.
Whenever the country has faced a crisis, the TDP has played a positive and constructive role.
In a record time of five-and-a-half months, we completed the prestigious Pattiseema irrigation project, linking two major rivers in the state.
In the past, some natives used to collude with Britishers. In the same way, YSRCP is now colluding with Centre.
If you listen to what Trump says, you will understand the hollowness. Even a top-ranking nation like America is having a leadership crisis.
What is America? Best brains in the world migrate to the U.S. If there are best brains, they will produce best results.
It is true I work 16 hours a day.
Tapping of phones is a serious business and has to be authenticated by requisite authorities on valid grounds.
Every sphere of activity has a set of rules. Politics is no different.
I'm not ashamed to admit that prohibition is 'impractical.'
BJP was a strong force before I differed and left.
I had attracted large investments into information technology and built infrastructure in Hyderabad, including India's first greenfield airport, apart from attracting the country's first private sector investments in power generation.
I promoted Hyderabad to the world by saying that there was privacy in India and their data will be sage. Data is wealth.
Technology should be used for better purposes, for people's overall welfare and development of state and country, instead of misusing it to win elections.
All political parties with secular credentials are bound to align and unite in fighting against communal forces. So, when the time comes, I believe that the SP and the BJP will join the Mahagathbandhan at the national level.
I like to create new things.
When you can't take care of your wife, how can you run the affairs of the country?
The Congress is dividing the country on the lines of caste and regions. We need a stable government to put the country and its economy back on the rails.
The entire world is talking about a leadership crisis in India. There is monumental corruption. Investigations into cases of corruption are politically calibrated.
There are abundant opportunities for A.P. No other Indian state has such great opportunities to develop port-based industrial economies.
Women are inferior to none.
America was once the safest place. I used to ask our people why they were going there. They used to say America is the safest place.
Mr. Trump set an example of how an individual can damage a country. There are agitations all around, and the whole of U.S. is under turmoil.
One cannot judge the poll outcome by the crowds one draws at public meetings.
I have been saying for a long time, all my phones are tapped.
Amaravati will not be a ghost city.
Compared to Congress, BJP is spending huge money in the elections. BJP keeps claiming that it is not corrupt. Then where is it getting such huge monies from?
TDP had to join hands with the Congress given the need for a major anchor party in the front against the BJP.
I was an active participant in India's key economic reforms, including the third industrial revolution and now the fourth industrial revolution.
Modi made history in 2014 by becoming the first non-Congress government at the Centre to get absolute majority.
I proudly claim that what Modi could not succeed in Gujarat, I have done for Hyderabad to put it on the international map. None can rob that credit from me.
My aim is to make Andhra Pradesh a drought-proof state.
People are disturbed and demoralised after bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh. It is my responsibility to protect their interests and show them a direction.
I can see a distinct anti-Modi and anti-NDA wave across the country.
When governments become weak, troubles are certain to erupt.
Industrialisation only can generate large-scale employment.
Given my earlier experience as the longest served CM of the erstwhile undivided A.P., I focused on choosing right people in the right place with clear priorities in the departments that were vital to attract large-scale investments into the state.
Trump spoke badly about women... It sparked worldwide reactions.
America is a world leader, one that gives guidance to others.
