Chandrababu Naidu Steps Into Andhra Assembly After 31 Months, Keeps His Vow

Chandrababu Naidu had vowed in November 2021 that he would return only after becoming the Chief Minister

Telugu Desam Party chief Chandrababu Naidu returned to the Andhra Pradesh assembly today 31 months after he left the house over 'insult to his family'. Mr Naidu had vowed in November 2021 that he would return only after becoming the Chief Minister, a feat he achieved after his party registered a landslide win in the Andhra Pradesh assembly elections.

The TDP won 135 seats in the 175-member assembly, while their allies Jana Sena and BJP won 21 and 8 seats respectively.

Visuals today showed the entire house standing up to give a warm welcome to Mr Naidu as he walked in as Chief Minister today. This is his fourth term as the Chief Minister of the state.
