Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu called for unity and cooperation between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, stressing that there should be no hostility between the two Telugu states. Speaking at the World Telugu Conference in Guntur, the Chief Minister emphasised the importance of working together on shared challenges and development priorities.
Naidu said that both states share deep cultural, linguistic, and historical ties, and that mutual respect and collaboration are essential for long-term progress. He highlighted key areas where coordination is crucial, including water sharing, irrigation projects, infrastructure development, and economic growth.
Referring to inter-state issues, the Chief Minister underlined the need for dialogue-based solutions rather than political confrontation. He noted that cooperation between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana would benefit farmers, industries, and citizens on both sides, particularly in managing river waters and large-scale development projects.
The remarks come amid ongoing discussions and debates over resource sharing and administrative coordination between the two states. Observers say Naidu’s comments signal a conciliatory approach aimed at reducing tensions and fostering a cooperative framework for regional development.
The World Telugu Conference brought together leaders, scholars, and cultural representatives from across India and abroad, serving as a platform to reinforce Telugu identity while promoting unity and shared progress among Telugu-speaking regions.
