Besides the Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde, the former Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu, the former Chief Justice of India N V Ramana and cine superstars Rajnikanth and Chiranjeevi were also present. The Utarakhand chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami congratulated the newly sworn in Andhra CM, saying he was sure that the southern State would make huge developmental strides under the dynamic CM.
Notably, the NDA comprising TDP, BJP and Janasena nearly swept the recently concluded simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly elections in the southern State with a huge majority of 164 out of 175 Assembly and 21 out of 25 Lok Sabha seats.
