Telugu Desam Party (TDP) president and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has finally decided to build a personal residence in Amaravati, the capital city.
Naidu doesn't have his home in the state since the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh in June 2014.
“I have bought a piece of land in Amaravati for constructing my own house. Very soon, I shall perform ‘bhumi puja’,” Naidu told reporters on Wednesday, Hindustan Times reported.
Naidu said that his wife, Nara Bhuvaneshwari, whom he referred to as his “home minister,” will oversee the construction of the house.
“My focus is on constructing the capital city. My family members will handle the construction of my house,” the Andhra Chief Minister said.
Currently, Naidu has a bungalow in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, which is now the capital city of Telangana.
In Andhra Pradesh, his only personal property is an ancestral home in Naravaripalli, located in Chandragiri mandal, Tirupati district.
A few months ago, he has begun construction of a camp office and residence at Kuppam, his native constituency in Chittoor district.
Since the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh a decade ago, Naidu has reportedly been residing in a rented guest house owned by businessman Lingamaneni Ramesh.
The property is situated on the banks of the Krishna River in Undavalli on Vijayawada-Amaravati road.
