Telugu Desam Party leader N Chandrababu Naidu was inaugurated as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh for the fourth time today. The ceremony was attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Ministers Amit Shah, Nitin Gadkari, and J P Nadda, as well as Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. Janasena leader and actor Pawan Kalyan, along with Nara Lokesh, the son of Chandrababu Naidu, and others, were sworn in as Ministers.
Chandrababu Naidu’s fortunes have risen following the recent Lok Sabha and state assembly elections, with the stock of Heritage Foods, the dairy company promoted by his family, reaching record highs. This surge coincides with the TDP becoming one of the key allies of the National Democratic Alliance 3.0 government.
Heritage Foods stock doubled in 12 sessions, resulting in a windfall for Chandrababu Naidu and his family, who hold a 35.7 percent stake in the company. According to exchange data, his wife Bhuvaneswari owns a 24.37 percent stake, his son Lokesh holds 10.82 percent, his daughter-in-law Brahmani has 0.46 percent, and his 9-year-old grandson Devansh owns 0.06 percent.
