The 75th birthday of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) supremo and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu was marked with statewide celebration and heartfelt tributes on Sunday. Party members and well-wishers came together not only to wish their beloved leader but also to carry out large-scale social service activities, showcasing the spirit of service that Naidu has championed throughout his political career.

Grand Celebrations Across the State

TDP cadres, from grassroots workers to top ministers, organized various events across Andhra Pradesh to mark the momentous occasion. In a symbolic gesture, cakes weighing 75 kg were cut in multiple locations. Beyond the celebratory spirit, the party focused heavily on public welfare through blood donation camps, Annadanam (free food distribution), and other charity drives, staying true to the party’s commitment to community service.

At the TDP central office in Vijayawada, the atmosphere was charged with enthusiasm as party leaders conducted special events and social initiatives in honour of Naidu. Although the Chief Minister is currently on a brief overseas vacation with his family, the celebration remained heartfelt and widespread.

Nationwide and Cross-Party Greetings

Leading the birthday wishes was Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who praised Naidu’s developmental vision and hard work for the progress of Andhra Pradesh. Taking to social media platform X, the Prime Minister said,

“Best wishes to my good friend and Andhra Pradesh CM Shri N Chandrababu Naidu Garu. It is commendable how he is tirelessly working for the development of AP, with a focus on futuristic sectors. Praying for his long and healthy life.”

Joining in the accolades were senior TDP leaders such as K Atchannaidu, Nimmala Rama Naidu, Gottipati Ravi Kumar, P Narayana, Anam Ramanarayana Reddy, Kolusu Parthasarathy, BC Janardhan Reddy, and Anagani Satya Prasad, who extended wishes through social media platforms.

Key MPs including K Rammohan Naidu and Kesineni Sivanath, along with MLAs like Sujana Chowdary, conveyed their greetings, reflecting the deep admiration and respect within the party.

In a sign of cross-party camaraderie, BJP State President D Purandeswari, YSRCP Chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, and APCC Chief YS Sharmila also wished Naidu well, showcasing the former Chief Minister’s lasting impact across political lines.

Family and Personal Tributes

Naidu’s son and Andhra Pradesh IT Minister Nara Lokesh, currently abroad with his father, posted an emotional tribute on X, saluting his father’s unwavering dedication and visionary leadership. Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan too lauded Naidu’s capability to revive the State from past economic struggles, calling him a “visionary leader with relentless enthusiasm.”

Naidu’s Message: A Renewed Commitment

On his special day, Naidu shared a heartfelt message on X, expressing his deep gratitude to the people of Andhra Pradesh for their constant support over his 47-year-long political journey. Having served as Chief Minister for four terms, Naidu called this rare opportunity a privilege, and reiterated his commitment to uplift the Telugu people and build a stronger Andhra Pradesh.

Naidu highlighted his “Swarna Andhra-2047 Vision”, which aims to transform Andhra Pradesh into a global hub of innovation and prosperity. This ambitious vision, presented in the Legislative Assembly on November 22, 2024, rests on ten guiding principles, including zero poverty, water security, and employment generation.

P4 Initiative: A Future-Ready Model

One of the key highlights of Naidu’s renewed development agenda is the P4 (Public-Private-People-Partnership) initiative, launched on March 30, 2025. This model builds on his past success with the Janmabhoomi programme, and focuses on eradicating poverty by 2047 by creating Golden Families — a concept where affluent and resourceful individuals, including NRIs, support underprivileged families in their economic journey.

Naidu also applauded the Telugu diaspora for their exceptional global success and high per capita income, urging them to contribute actively to Andhra Pradesh’s future and help realize the collective vision of making the State a powerhouse by 2047.

Conclusion

Chandrababu Naidu’s 75th birthday was more than a personal milestone—it was a celebration of leadership, vision, and community spirit. With party members embracing social causes and leaders from across the nation extending heartfelt wishes, the day served as a reminder of Naidu’s indelible impact on Andhra Pradesh and his continued journey towards building a Swarna Andhra.

As the State looks to the future under Naidu’s seasoned leadership, the momentum and public goodwill surrounding his 75th birthday celebration reaffirm his enduring place in the hearts of millions.
