Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president Nara Chandrababu Naidu is set to take oath as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh for the third time. The swearing-in ceremony is scheduled for June 12, 2024, at 11:27 am. The event will likely take place in Gannavaram, and elaborate arrangements are being made to ensure a grand celebration.
Chandrababu Naidu, a seasoned politician, first assumed the role of Chief Minister nearly 30 years ago in 1995. He continued to lead the state until 2004, succeeded by the late Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy. After a decade and the bifurcation of the united state into Telangana and residual Andhra Pradesh, Naidu is poised to take the oath of office once again.
The TDP, anticipating the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Ministers from other NDA-ruled states, aims to make the swearing-in ceremony a significant occasion. While the initial plan was to hold the event in the Amaravati capital region, logistical considerations led to a search for alternate venues. Ultimately, the open land at IT Park in Kesarapalli near Gannavaram emerged as the chosen site.
The TDP Legislative Party meeting, scheduled for June 11, will formally elect Chandrababu Naidu as their leader. During this meeting, Chandrababu Naidu may also announce the names of the ministers who will be sworn in alongside him. Notably, it is unlikely that YSR Congress Party president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy will attend the event5.
As the political landscape in Andhra Pradesh prepares for this momentous occasion, all eyes will be on Nara Chandrababu Naidu as he takes the oath of office, ready to lead the state once more
