N. Chandrababu Naidu ( Nara Chandrababu Naidu , Telugu : నారా చంద్రబాబునాయుడు ; born April 20, 1950 in Naravaripally , Chittoor District , Andhra Pradesh ) is an Indian politician of the Indian National Congress and, since 1983, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), which took place between 1995 and 2004 was Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and held this office again from June 8, 2014 to May 23, 2019.
Life
MP and Minister
Naidu studied in Tirupati. He began his political career when, as a candidate for the Indian National Congress in 1978, he was first elected member of the Legislative Assembly of Andhra Pradesh. Between 1980 and 1983 he was minister in the government of the Chief Ministers T. Anjaiah , Bhavanam Venkataram Reddy and K. Vijaya Bhaskara Reddy , appointed by the Indian National Congress .
During this time he married the daughter of the well-known Telugu actor NT Rama Rao and in 1983 joined the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), which he founded on March 21, 1982. In the following years he was elected as their candidate for member of the legislative assembly, but was not appointed to the cabinet by his father-in-law after he became chief minister of the state for the first time after the election of the TDP on January 9, 1983 . However, in 1985 he took over the post of General Secretary of the TDP and subsequently became the party's most influential politician.
After the TDP suffered a severe defeat in the elections to the legislative assembly in 1989 and lost 128 of its to 202 parliamentary seats and thus only received 74 of the 294 seats, he became party coordinator. His successful work in this role ultimately contributed to the TDP's victory in the 1994 elections. With 216 of the 294 seats in the Legislative Assembly, the TDP had a large absolute majority, so that on December 12, 1994, NT Rama Rao became Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh for the third time. He appointed his son-in-law Naidu to be Minister of Finance in his cabinet.
Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh
In 1995 Naidu organized an internal party overthrow of his father-in-law because of the growing influence of his wife Lakshmi Parvathi. He managed to get the majority of the party behind him and force Rao to resign on August 31, 1995. One day later, on September 1, 1995, he became Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh for the first time.
In the following period he strengthened the influence of the TDP, which was able to increase its share of seats in the Lok Sabha , the lower house of the Indian parliament , from 13 seats (1991) to 29 seats in the 1999 elections. In the 1999 legislative assembly elections, the TDP lost 36 seats, but still had a comfortable absolute majority with 180 of the 294 seats in parliament, so Naidu became Chief Minister for a second legislative period .
Subsequently, with the support of the management consultancy McKinsey & Company, a neoliberal development program was set up, which received the recognition of numerous Western politicians and made him a future-oriented prime minister from the perspective of many political analysts. While turning the state into a state-of-the-art location for information technology, his policies left millions of Andhra Pradesh residents in abject poverty that drove numerous smallholders to suicide .
In the 2004 elections to the legislative assembly, the TDP finally suffered a severe defeat in which it lost 133 seats and from then on only took 47 of the 294 seats in parliament. In the 2004 and 2009 Lok Sabha elections, the TDP was only able to win five and six seats, respectively. In the 2009 legislative assembly elections, the TDP was able to almost double its mandates from 47 to 92, but still lagged behind its earlier successes.
After Telangana emerged as a new state from the Andhra Pradesh area on June 2, 2014 , Naidu was again Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh on June 8, 2014. In the previous elections, for which the legislative assembly was reduced to 173 seats, the TDP won 102 seats, again an absolute majority.
The election to the parliament of Andhra Pradesh on April 11, 2019 ended with a very clear defeat for the Telugu Desam Party, which lost its parliamentary majority. As a result, N. Chandrababu Naidu resigned from the office of Chief Minister on May 23, 2019.
