Modi 3.0: PM Narendra Modi Hugs Chandrababu Naidu after 4th oath as Andha Pradesh's CM | ABP News

Three years after vowing to enter the Assembly only as Chief Minister, N. Chandrababu Naidu has been sworn in for his fourth term as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. The oath-taking ceremony, held near Gannavaram Airport in Kesarapalli on the outskirts of Vijayawada, saw the attendance of key figures including PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. In a significant moment in 2021, Naidu had publicly shed tears for the first time after derogatory remarks were made against his wife by YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leaders, prompting him to take a solemn vow to return to the Assembly only as Chief Minister. Against this backdrop, Chandrababu Naidu took oath as the CM of Andhra Pradesh. After taking oath, AP CM hugged PM Modi at the stage. Followed by Chandrababu Naidu, JanaSena Pawan Kalyan and Naidu's son Nara Lokesh also took oath as council of Ministers in the state.  Ahead of the oath-taking ceremony, Naidu reaffirmed his commitment to developing Amaravati as the state's sole capital. "With all your cooperation, I am swearing in tomorrow (as the CM) and I would like to thank you all for that. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is coming for the swearing-in ceremony,” he stated, highlighting the support from the Union government for Andhra Pradesh's development.
