The city of Vijayawada was buzzing with excitement as the grand swearing-in ceremony of the newly elected Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and his Council of Ministers took place at the Kesarapalli IT Park on Wednesday. It was a star-studded event with the presence of superstars Rajinikanth and Chiranjeevi, among other popular actors.
Rajinikanth, accompanied by his wife Latha Rajinikanth and TDP MLA N Balakrishna, were seated on the dais next to the main one where the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Governor S Abdul Nazeer and Naidu himself were seated. Chiranjeevi was also present to witness his brother and Jana Sena leader Pawan Kalyan take oath as a minister. Naidu's son and Balakrishna's son-in-law Nara Lokesh was also among the ministers being sworn in.
While Naidu's wife Bhuvaneswari was seated on the main dais, his daughter-in-law Brahmini, along with grandson Devansh and other family members, were present in the VIP gallery. Chiranjeevi's son and leading actor Ram Charan, Pawan Kalyan's wife Konidela Lezhneva and other family members were also in attendance.
Pawan Kalyan, who will next be seen in the film 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', was also sworn in as the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. His party, Janasena Party, which was in alliance with TDP and BJP as part of the NDA, secured a strong victory in the state assembly elections, winning 164 out of 175 seats. TDP won 135 seats, Janasena Party won 21, and BJP won 8 seats.
However, Jr NTR, the grandson of former Chief Minister and TDP founder NT Rama Rao, was not seen at the event. Jr NTR had previously campaigned for Naidu in 2009 but has since focused on his film career.
The ceremony was also graced by the presence of other actors and directors such as Nara Rohit, Shivaji, Nikhil, and Krish. After the swearing-in, PM Modi, along with Pawan Kalyan and Chiranjeevi, raised their hands in a triumphant gesture, much to the delight of the cheering crowd. The Prime Minister also took the opportunity to meet with Rajinikanth, Balakrishna, and other dignitaries on the dais.
Rajinikanth, who arrived in the state the previous night, was seen in a simple kurta and pajamas for the event. Senior Telugu actor Nandamuri Balakrishna, who had recently received criticism for allegedly pushing actress Anjali at a film event, was also present and even met with former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Ottakarathevar Panneerselvam at the ceremony.
Apart from the presence of Telugu and Tamil stars, the ceremony was also graced by the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah and the newly appointed Union Health Minister JP Nadda. N Chandrababu Naidu, who has now been sworn in as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh for the fourth time, was greeted with loud cheers and support from the crowd.
