THE ECONOMIC TIMES
About this episode

Andhra Pradesh (AP) is in the spotlight with N. Chandrababu Naidu back in power. Known as the "CEO" Chief Minister, Naidu is on a mission to attract investments and eliminate political opposition. Allegations of politics are rampant too. In just a month, Naidu has demolished YSRCP’s under-construction central office. He has also released white papers criticising the Jagan administration's handling of major projects, escalating the political battle. Host Nidhi Sharma explores these developments and their implications with Nara Lokesh, TDP General Secretary and Andhra Pradesh's HRD and IT Minister and P.V. Midhun Reddy, Member of the Lok Sabha, YSRCP.
