N. Chandrababu Naidu

Naidu unveiled 'Vision 2020', a comprehensive plan to transform Andhra Pradesh into a developed state by 2020. The plan focused on IT, biotechnology, infrastructure, and education, attracting global investment.

Naidu became Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh after the death of N. T. Rama Rao. He focused on economic reforms, IT development, and infrastructure, transforming Hyderabad into a global tech hub.

Naidu's Telugu Desam Party was defeated by the Congress-led coalition in the Andhra Pradesh assembly elections. The loss ended his nine-year tenure as Chief Minister, attributed to rural discontent and anti-incumbency.

Naidu led the TDP to victory in the 2014 Andhra Pradesh elections after the state's bifurcation. He became the first CM of the residual state, focusing on rebuilding Amaravati as the new capital.

Naidu initiated the construction of Amaravati as the new capital of Andhra Pradesh, designed as a world-class greenfield city. The project involved land pooling and attracted international investment, but faced delays and cost overruns.

Naidu was arrested by the Andhra Pradesh CID in connection with the Skill Development Corporation scam, alleging misappropriation of funds. He was remanded to judicial custody, marking a major political setback.
