Addressing a public meeting here, he said he brought institutions and companies of repute in IT and other sectors to Hyderabad during his stint as Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh. Top institutions like International School of Business came to the city due to his efforts, he said.
The development during his tenure created four lakh IT jobs directly and another 14 lakh jobs indirectly, he claimed.
He also said that his party wanted well-being of all Telugu people, and Andhra Pradesh and Telangana should co-exist peacefully and progress.
Both the states were like two eyes for him, Naidu said, adding that when he met the Union Ministers over the issues concerning Andhra Pradesh, he also spoke about problems of Telangana.
Naidu also praised the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The country's prestige rose like never before with Modi's efforts, he said.
Union Health Minister J P Nadda said it was TDP-BJP which put Hyderabad on the world map during the previous NDA government. The current NDA government had released thousands of crores of rupees for the development of Telangana, he said.
