One of the major contentions put forward by Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu in the Mahakutami campaign was that he was responsible for the development of Hyderabad and Hi-Tech city in particular.
At the time of campaigning, yellow media highlighted IT youth who had attended Naidu’s meetings with placards which read, “We are in Hyderabad because of you.”
But the election results in Hyderabad too have come as a complete surprise as Chandrababu failed to win the trust of the voters even in Hyderabad, the city he had developed.
This means that Chandrababu can no longer bank on his ‘development theory’ anymore as the people who according to him benefitted from his administration have not voted for him.
