By 2047 Telugu People Will Emerge Number One In The World- AP CM

Asserting that India would emerge Numero Uno in the world by 2047 with the Telugu people occupying a pride place in this achievement, the Honourable CM of AP Sri Nara Chandra Babu Naidu said, he prayed Sri Venkateswara Swamy to give him enough strength to build a "Zero Poverty State" soon by reducing economic imbalances and establishing a developed state.

During a press conference arranged at Sri Gayatri Nilayam Rest House in Tirumala, the CM told media persons that being the native of the place, his day commences offering prayers to Lord Venkateswara. Recalling his childhood memories he said, he used to walk all the way from Srinivasa Mangapuram to Tirupati during his school and college days. "Sri Venkateswara Swamy also happens to be our Kuladaivam and all these years I overcame all the struggles and challenges that I faced in my life including the claymore mine attack, political assaults etc. with the strength and courage provided to me with the benign blessings of Sri Venkateswara Swamy and the unflinching support extended by my family members during the high time which I faced in the last five years", he affirmed.

He said, the development of the state has seen a decline in the last five years and there is every need to revamp the structure for which he sought the blessings of Sri Venkateswara. "I want to commence my activity starting with Tirumala by protecting its sanctity. Aiming at making Tirumala, a must-visit place of pilgrimage for every Hindu devotee during his lifetime. Tirumala should echo with the divine chants of Govinda Namas alone. I prayed to Lord Venkateswara to bless with enough strength to achieve all these goals", he reiterated.
