After June 2, Andhra Pradesh lost its umbilical link with Telangana, as Hyderabad ceased to be a common capital. However, several politicians and businessmen have not lost their connections with Hyderabad.
Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu does not have any business interests in Hyderabad, as his wife, Nara Bhuvaneshwari, and daughter-in-law, Nara Brahmani, are managing the Heritage Group business.
As the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Naidu’s focus should be entirely on his home state. Yet, he makes it a point to come to Hyderabad as frequently as possible. For the last two days, he has been staying in Hyderabad, despite the hectic political and administrative activities in Andhra Pradesh.
The TDP chief participated in various programs in Hyderabad, including party activities in Telangana. He has abolished all the party wings in Telangana and is planning to revamp them completely with new members. In this regard, he held intensive discussions with the Telangana TDP leaders before returning to Amaravati on Monday evening.
Sources say Naidu has decided to come to Hyderabad once every two weeks to focus on the Telangana TDP. He may also have other personal reasons for being in Hyderabad, including spending time with his family.
Similarly, Jana Sena Party chief and Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan, before coming to power, used to spend most of his time in Hyderabad, visiting Andhra Pradesh occasionally.
But after becoming the Deputy Chief Minister, Pawan Kalyan has been based in Vijayawada, touring different parts of Andhra Pradesh. Yet, he has not lost touch with Hyderabad either.
Like Naidu, Pawan Kalyan has also been in Hyderabad for the last two days and is likely to return to Vijayawada only on Tuesday. He may have come to Hyderabad to discuss with his film producers about wrapping up his pending film projects.
