In 1978, he was elected to theAndhra Pradesh Legislative Assemblyfrom theIndian National Congressparty, and from 1980 to 1982, he served as a minister in the state cabinet. Afterwards, heswitched party allegianceand joined TDP, which had been founded by his father-in-lawN. T. Rama Rao.[5]Naidu served as a TDPMember of the Legislative Assembly(MLA) from 1989 to 1995.[6]In 1995, he became theChief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.

During his two previous terms as Chief Minister, Naidu's public image was that of an economic reformer and proponent ofinformation technology-based economic growth. His policies brought modernisation and investments particularly toHyderabad,where he directed the founding ofHITEC City.[5]He also had a role in national politics, first as the convener of theUnited Frontin 1996. He supported theBharatiya Janata Party(BJP)-ledNational Democratic Alliance(NDA) after the1999 Lok Sabha elections,in which TDP won 29 seats, enhancing Naidu's reputation as a nationally prominent politician. In 2014, Naidu returned as Chief Minister, winning in the now-residuary (due tobifurcation) Andhra Pradesh.

In the2019 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election,Naidu's party faced an electoral setback, with TDP winning only 23 out of 175 seats.[7]In September 2023, Naidu was arrested by theCrime Investigation Department(CID) police in Andhra Pradesh due to alleged involvement in the skills development case and was granted bail byAndhra Pradesh High Courtin November 2023.[8]In the2024 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election,the TDP returned to power once again in a landslide topling the incumbent YSRCP government and Naidu became Chief Minister for the fourth time.

Early life and education

edit

Naidu was born on 20 April 1950[9]in aTeluguagrarian family to Nara Kharjura Naidu and his mother Amanamma inNaravaripalle,Tirupati district,in present-dayAndhra Pradesh.[a][10][11]He has a younger brotherNara Ramamurthy Naiduand two younger sisters.[12]Naidu hasvitiligo,an autoimmune disease that causes white patches on the skin.[13]

Since his village had no school, Naidu attended primary school in Seshapuram up to class five and theChandragiriGovernment High School up to class 10. He completed his B.A. degree in 1972 from Sri Venkateswara Arts College, Tirupati.[11][14]Later, he got his master's degree in economics fromSri Venkateswara University.[15]In 1974, under the guidance of professor Dr. D. L. Narayana he started work on his Ph.D. on the topic ofEconomic ideas of Professor N. G. Ranga,but did not complete his Ph.D.[11]

Political career

edit

Indian National Congress

edit

Naidu started his political activities as a student union leader inSri Venkateswara Universitywhile pursuing his master's degree. In 1975, he joinedIndian Youth Congressand became the president of its local chapter inPulicherla.Afterthe emergencywas imposed on the country in 1975, he became a supporter ofSanjay Gandhi.[16]

With the help ofN. G. Ranga,Naidu secured a candidacy from the Congress party, under its 20% quota for the youth, and became amember of the Legislative Assembly(MLA) for theChandragiri constituencyin the1978 assembly elections.He initially served as a director of Andhra Pradesh Small Scale Industries Development Corporation. Later, he was appointed as a minister inT. Anjaiah's government. Between 1980 and 1983, Naidu held various portfolios, including archives, cinematography, technical education, and minor irrigation in the state government.[17]He became the youngest MLA at the age of 28 and a minister at the age of 30 in Andhra Pradesh at that time.[18]

As the cinematography minister, Naidu came in contact withN. T. Rama Rao,a popular film star in Telugu cinema. In September 1981, he married Bhuvaneswari, Rao's second daughter.[19]

Telugu Desam Party

edit

In 1982,N. T. Rama Rao,formed theTelugu Desam Party(TDP) and swept the Andhra Pradeshassembly polls held in 1983.Chandrababu Naidu, who was his son-in-law, remained in the Congress Party. However, he was defeated by a TDP candidate in the elections fromChandragiri assembly constituency.Soon after, he joined the Telugu Desam Party. Initially, Naidu involved himself in the party work, organising training camps and computerising membership records.[20]He played an active role during the 1984 August crisis in the government triggered byNadendla Bhaskara Rao's coup.[21]NTR appointed Naidu as general secretary of the TDP in 1986.[22]

Legislative career (1989–1994)

edit

In the1989 assembly election,Naidu contested fromKuppam constituencyas a TDP candidate and won by 5,000 votes. INC, however, was elected to power, so Naidu was in the opposition.[15]Rama Rao appointed him as a coordinator of the TDP,[23]in which capacity he handled the party's role of the main opposition in the assembly which won him wide appreciation from both the party and the public. His role during this phase, both inside the Legislative Assembly and outside, is seen as a critical factor for the subsequent success of the party.[15]

Naidu won the 1994 elections from Kuppam constituency. He became the Finance and Revenue Minister inN. T. Rama Rao's ministry.[15]

First term as Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh (1995–1999)

edit

On 1 September 1995, Naidu, at the age of 45, was sworn in as the Chief Minister following a successful coup against the leadership of N.T. Rama Rao.[24]The internal rebellion was triggered by the controversial role ofLakshmi Parvathi,NTR's second wife, in the party and the government.[25]Naidu was able to secure the support of the majority of the legislators and has hence served as the leader of the party.[26][27]

Second term as Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh (1999–2004)

edit

In the1999 state legislature elections,Chandrababu Naidu led his party to victory, securing 180 out of 294 seats in the state assembly.[28]Additionally, the TDP won 29 out of 42 seats in the Parliament elections. The TDP's tally in theLok Sabhamade it not only the biggest of the BJP's allies, but also the fourth largest party in the Lok Sabha.[29]These elections marked a critical juncture for Naidu, as they served as a significant test of his legitimacy both as the Chief Minister of the state and as the President of the TDP. Upon his return to power, the media hailed him as the first economic reformer to secure a strong electoral mandate.[30]

Assassination attempt

edit

On 1 October 2003, Naidu survived aland mineblast by thePeople's War Group(PWG) near Alipiri tollgate inTirupati.[31][32]The Chief Minister's convoy was attacked on his way toTirumalato participate in the annual ritual ofBrahmotsavamofLord Venkateswaraatop the seven hills. A total of 17 Claymore mines were planted, of which 9 exploded. Naidu was the first Chief Minister in the country to have been targeted by the ultra-left-wing Naxalites for assassination.[33]Naidu's escape with minor injuries was considered miraculous given the severity of the blast. The PWG claimed it attacked him for being a "World Bank agent."[34]

Role in National Politics

edit

Chandrababu Naidu's involvement in national politics during the period of 1996 to 2004 was dominated by non-Congress coalition politics in Delhi.[35]In the aftermath of the1996 parliamentary elections,he assumed the role of convenor for theUnited Front,a coalition comprising 13 political parties that secured power at the Centre. The coalition government was headed byH.D. Deve Gowdaand laterI.K. Gujralbetween 1996 and 1998. The United Front had its headquarters atAndhra Pradesh Bhavanin New Delhi.

Subsequently, Chandrababu Naidu's significance in national affairs got amplified after the1999 Lok Sabha elections.The TDP and the BJP, which had a pre-poll understanding in the state, together won 36 MPs out of 42.[36]The BJP emerged as the largest single party in the Lok Sabha. The TDP extended the support of 29 of its MPs to theNational Democratic Alliance(NDA) government headed byA. B. Vajpayee.[37]TDP did not join the government, extending only 'issue-based support'.[38]Naidu claimed that though Vajpayee had offered eight cabinet berths to his party, the TDP stayed away from the union cabinet and offered external support to the NDA government.[39]

Leader of the Opposition (2004–2014)

edit

Naidu, soon after the assassination attempt on him, dissolved the state assembly. Elections to the state were held along with theparliamentary pollsin April 2004. The TDP government faced anti-incumbency fuelled by high power tariffs and the absence of support to the agricultural sector. Besides, the newly formed Congress(I)-TRSalliance posed a major challenge to the TDP popularity in Telangana.[40]The Telugu Desam Party was defeated in both the state and Lok Sabha elections. The Congress Party won 185 seats while the TDP ended up with 47 seats in the assembly, the then lowest in the party's electoral history. The TDP won only 5 seats out of 42 in Parliament. Naidu felt that the severe drought that gripped Andhra Pradesh the previous year as well as advancing the timing of the election were the major reasons for his defeat.[41]

In the2009 assembly and parliamentary elections,Naidu faced another challenge as popular actorChiranjeeviformedPraja Rajyam partyand turned the election into a three-cornered contest. The TDP, which formed an alliance with TRS this time, once again lost to the incumbent Congress Party. The TDP secured 92 seats in the assembly, whereas the Congress got 156 seats, a thin majority in the assembly. Chiranjeevi's Praja Rajyam won in 18 seats. Naidu blamed Chiranjeevi's entry into the political arena for his party's debacle.[42]

Third term as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh (2014–2019)

edit

Afterthe bifurcation,elections were held in 2014 in the newly formed states ofAndhra PradeshandTelangana.Naidu formed an alliance again with the BJP andJana SenaParty and returned to power in the bifurcated, residual Andhra Pradesh state, winning 102 seats out of 175 seats. The TDP also won 16 Lok Sabha seats. Naidu took oath as the first Chief Minister of the residuary state of Andhra Pradesh at Mangalagiri on the grounds of Acharya Nagarjuna University near Guntur.[43]His party joined the NDA government at the Centre and held two portfolios in the union cabinet.[44]Two cabinet berths in the state were allocated to the BJP.

The Chief Minister faced a host of challenges in the new state. The newly born state of Andhra Pradesh was left without a capital city and was deprived of a major economic hub.[45]Naidu took up the construction of a new capital city, namedAmaravati,on the southern side of river Krishna near Vijayawada.[46]During Naidu's term, the state achieved top ranking in theWorld Bank's Ease of Business rankingsin the country since 2015. The state attracted mega companies like Kia Motors,[47]Isuzu Motors, Pepsi, Mondelez and Foxconn.

2015 cash-for-vote scam

edit

Naidu's name figured in the cash-for-vote scandal which pertains to the alleged role of the TDP to buy votes in the 2015Telangana Legislative Councilelections. It started off when the TDP leaders of Telangana state were caught on video footage, aired in the media, allegedly offering bribes to a nominated MLA, Elvis Stephenson, for his vote in the 2015 Council elections.[48]Telangana Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) claimed that it was in possession of a recorded telephonic conversation that purportedly took place between Elvis Stephenson and TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu, who was the then Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister.[49]Both the TRS (now BRS) and YSR Congress Party demanded that Naidu should be named in the case.[50]However, the ACB and later the Enforcement Directorate (ED), in their charge sheets, did not name Naidu as an accused in the case, as they did not find evidence to prove that the money was sent to Stevenson at the behest of Naidu.[51]

Special status dispute and break with BJP

edit

In March 2018, the TDP withdrew its two ministers from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government over the issue of Andhra special category status (SCS).[52]The SCS had been promised by the previous Congress government on the floor of the Parliament during the passage of theAP Reorganisation Bill.[53]Subsequently, Naidu announced the TDP's departure from the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) due to the "injustice" inflicted upon Andhra Pradesh by the denial of SCS.[54]

In 2016, Naidu had previously agreed to the announcement made by the then Union Finance MinisterArun Jaitleyregarding a financial package for Andhra Pradesh instead of granting it special status.[55]In this backdrop, the decision of the ruling TDP to withdraw from the NDA was perceived as a political response to the mounting criticism from the Opposition regarding the non-fulfilment of the special category status.[56]Naidu further criticised the central government on the issue by staging a hunger strike, known as 'Dharma Porata Deeksha' (a day-long 'protest for justice'), in Delhi.[57]This event marked a significant deterioration in the relationship between the TDP and the BJP.

As of February 2018, It was reported by theAssociation for Democratic Reforms(ADR) that he was the richest Chief Minister in India, with total assets of 177 crore.[58][59]

Alliance with the Congress Party

edit

In an unexpected turn of events, the TDP forged an alliance with the Congress Party forthe 2018 Telangana assembly elections.The alliance, consisting of the Congress, the TDP, and the Communist Party of India (CPI), formed the "Maha Kootami" (grand alliance) with the primary objective of defeating the TRS (now BRS) in the elections.[60]This marked the first time that the TDP, which had been founded on an anti-Congress platform in 1982, joined hands with the Congress party. During this period, Naidu was advocating for a non-BJP coalition comprising regional parties with the support of Congress to make a significant impact in the upcoming parliamentary elections.[61]This experiment faced a failure in the Telangana elections with K.Chandrashekar Rao's TRS winning by a big margin.[62]As a result, the TDP and the Congress subsequently parted ways for the2019 Andhra Pradesh assembly elections.[63]The alliance with the Congress and its aftermath left a bitter outcome for Naidu, leading to a considerable erosion of his credibility due to the perceived flip-flop in alliances.[64]

2019 elections

edit

In the 2019assemblyandparliamentary elections,the ruling TDP was decisively defeated by the YSR Congress Party led by Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy. The YSRCP achieved a landslide victory by securing 151 seats in the assembly out of 175, while the TDP could manage 23 seats.[65]In the Lok Sabha, the TDP won three seats, while the YSRCP secured the remaining 22 seats.[citation needed]

Corruption allegations and arrest

edit

On 9 September 2023, Naidu was arrested by theAndhra PradeshCrime Investigation Department (AP-CID), accused of misappropriation of public funds amounting to 371croreINR.He was listed as accused number 37 in the case.[66][67]On 10 September 2023, he appeared at the ACB court and the court remanded him in custody for 14 days, for which he was moved to the Central Jail in Rajamahendravaram.[68][69]After being in judicial custody for 52 days, he was released on bail on 31 October 2023.[69]

Fourth term as Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh (2024–present)

edit

Naidu was sworn in as the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh for a record fourth term, surpassingN. T. Rama Raowho had served as the chief minister of the state for three terms, on 12 June 2024 after the TDP in alliance with the BJP and the JSP won the2024 state legislative assembly electionin a landslide, garnering 164 out of 175 seats and defeating theYSR Congress Partyled byY. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.

He has vowed to reviveAmaravatias the sole capital of Andhra Pradesh and said that he will rebuild the capital as soon as possible. Mr. Naidu said he would seek the Central government’s cooperation to rebuild Amaravati and exuded confidence that the expected support would come. The Centre had provided capital gains exemption for all sales of land and released ₹1,500 crore of the approved ₹2,500 crore for Amaravati.[70]

As of December 2024, it was reported by the Association for Democratic Reforms that he was the richest Chief Minister in India, with total assets of 932 crore.[71][72]

Business career

edit

Heritage Foods Limited(HFL), a dairy enterprise, was incorporated by Naidu in 1992. The company went public in 1994. The annual turnover of Heritage Foods stood at INR 26,429 million in the financial year 2021–22. Currently, Nara Bhuvaneswari, Naidu's wife, holds the position of vice-chairperson & managing director, while Nara Brahmani, Naidu's daughter-in-law, serves as the executive director. Heritage has hundreds of outlets throughout Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and a significant presence across many states in the country. Heritage has also a renewable energy vertical which runs captive solar & wind power plants at 11 different locations. HFL comprises a solid portion of Naidu's current assets.[73]

Non-political initiatives

edit

Global Forum for Sustainable Transformation

edit

Chandrababu Naidu serves as the chairman and director of the Global Forum for Sustainable Transformation (GFST), an organisation he established in March 2020 in Hyderabad. It is positioned as a global not-for-profit and apolitical think tank, with the aim of promoting sustainability in economies and communities. In June 2023, GFST hosted a seminar on 'Deep Technologies' in Hyderabad.[74]Among its projects is the development of Vision India@2047, aligning with India's 100th year of Independence. Naidu unveiled a vision document titled India@2047, authored by GFST, on 15 August 2023, in Visakhapatnam.[75]

NTR Trust

edit

TheNTR Memorial Trustwas founded in 1997 by Chandrababu Naidu as a non-profit organisation. The Trust is involved in a variety of activities including initiatives like providing free education, offering blood transfusion facilities, conducting health camps, and supporting empowerment and livelihood programs. The Trust manages a blood bank and Thalassemia center in Hyderabad, as well as blood banks in Visakhapatnam and Tirupati. Additionally, it operates schools in Hyderabad and Challapalli (Krishna district), along with NTR Junior & Degree College for Women in Hyderabad. The Trust's day-to-day operations are overseen by Naidu's wife, Nara Bhuvaneswari, who serves as the managing trustee.[76]

Criticism

edit

Naidu faced severe criticism from various quarters for his policies. Both the Congress and left parties vehemently opposed his privatisation initiatives, labelling him as a symbol of World Bank policies.[77]The power sector reforms implemented by him encountered strong resistance throughout the state.[78]Naidu attracted criticism for allegedly prioritising information technology over the agriculture sector, which was a vital source of livelihood for a significant portion of the state's workforce.[79]While the corporate industry hailed him as the "CEO of Andhra Pradesh Inc.," a substantial portion of the state's population perceived him as "anti-poor", which reflected in the loss of the 2004 elections.[80]Amaravati, the new capital city that he set out to build in his latest term, ran into rough weather over various controversies.[81]
