People always want welfare, development, and good governance. As long as you are delivering, people are with you.
N. Chandrababu Naidu
My ambition is only to develop Andhra Pradesh.
In information technology, money is not the issue. Willingness to implement and execute is the issue.
America is a world leader, one that gives guidance to others.
Ultimately, I will do my best - whatever is possible - for this great nation.
I promoted Hyderabad to the world by saying that there was privacy in India and their data will be sage. Data is wealth.
Only a firm government that acts tough on fraudsters can send the right signals to the country.
The only reason why I tied up with the BJP was that Andhra Pradesh wasn't done justice during the bifurcation.
I have been responsible for so many fronts in the past: The National Front, the United Front; the UNPA, too, was created by me.
Modi is a disgrace to the prime minister's post.
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.
People look at track records now, and voters as stakeholders want ease of living and development, which is my aim.
I don't want to claim that my government can find solutions to all the problems facing the people.
I think good governance and good politics can go together.
Unfortunately, though both Mahatma Gandhi and Narendra Modi hail from Gujarat, Gandhi never lied, and Modi never speaks the truth.
I have dedicated myself to development of the state and hardly get time to spend with my family.
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?
My aim is to make Andhra Pradesh a drought-proof state.
Technology is the future, I have seen the third industrial revolution, and we are in the midst of the fourth industrial revolution.
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.
People are disturbed and demoralised after bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh. It is my responsibility to protect their interests and show them a direction.
I like to create new things.
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.
The BJP simply does not want Andhra Pradesh to become the number one state in all development parameters and Naidu getting credit.
When you can't take care of your wife, how can you run the affairs of the country?
The government is one entity which can control fraud, both public and private.
The entire world is talking about a leadership crisis in India. There is monumental corruption. Investigations into cases of corruption are politically calibrated.
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.
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.
To reduce the burden on the state exchequer, we increased the price of rice. I find nothing wrong in doing so in the best interests of the people and for the overall development of the state.
In the past, some natives used to collude with Britishers. In the same way, YSRCP is now colluding with Centre.
Industrialisation only can generate large-scale employment.
Modi failed miserably on most counts. He lacks the vision that a leader needs to possess and a strategy to achieve the vision and outcomes.
Demonetisation was a big flop, and its outcome was negative. The government has done nothing to get back black money.
Amaravati will be a world-class capital. It will be a health and tourist destination.
I was never consulted before the bifurcation. Injustice has been done to Andhra Pradesh, which had no revenues.
When governments become weak, troubles are certain to erupt.
I will never go to the Centre. I have never been an aspirant for any post or for any role at the Centre.
I want to place the facts before the people. Tell them about the greediness of Congress and how it divided the Telugu people and destroyed the state for political gains.
People have faith in me because of my track record.
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.
In a record time of five-and-a-half months, we completed the prestigious Pattiseema irrigation project, linking two major rivers in the state.
I also expected a lot from Modi, like every citizen. Talking is different; delivering is important.
Earlier, physical currency used to dominate. Now, mobile currency or digital currency is dominating. For digital currency, fintech is very crucial.
What is America? Best brains in the world migrate to the U.S. If there are best brains, they will produce best results.
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.
If you listen to what Trump says, you will understand the hollowness. Even a top-ranking nation like America is having a leadership crisis.
Trump spoke badly about women... It sparked worldwide reactions.
Women are inferior to none.
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.
