Chandrababu Naidu to be Sworn in as Andhra Pradesh CM at Gannavaram

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister-designate N Chandrababu Naidu will be sworn in at 11:27 AM on June 12, according to the Chief Minister’s Office. The ceremony will take place near Kesarapalli IT Park at Gannavaram in Krishna district, close to the airport.

Originally planned for Amravati, the event was moved to Gannavaram to accommodate several Central leaders expected to attend, reports The Indian Express.

Thousands of supporters from TDP, Jana Sena Party (JSP), and BJP will attend the ceremony. In the May 13 Assembly elections, the TDP-led coalition, including JSP and BJP, won 164 seats. TDP secured 135 seats, JSP won all 21 seats it contested, and BJP won 8 out of 10 seats.

Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi, set to be sworn in on Sunday evening, is expected to attend Naidu’s swearing-in ceremony along with state Governor S Abdul Nazeer and other prominent figures, according to Chief Secretary Neerabh Kumar Prasad.
