Announcing that the people's government has started, he said in the past five years the state had regressed and added that he would work to see the state regain its glory.
However, he predicted that by 2047, India would be in first or second position in the world and wished to see Telugu people on top.
My vision for 2047...Telugu people should be number one in the world. Poverty removal should be done as soon as possible. Andhra Pradesh has to be the number one state, he said.
Following his visit to the Sri Venkateswara temple in Tirumala along with his family, the CM said cleansing of the system will start from the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD). TTD is the official custodian of the Lord Venkateswara temple.
According to Naidu, Lord Venkateswara is their family deity and he always prays to Lord Venkateswara for a moment before undertaking any work.
Though it is important to create wealth, Naidu said 'it should also go to the poor', without being 'concentrated only in a few hands' and there should be a poverty-less society.
Further, he said the government will initiate a plan to build Sri Venkateswara Swamy temples across the world.
Earlier in the morning, he offered prayers at the Sri Venkateswara temple at nearby Tirumala, accompanied by family members. Naidu's son and cabinet member Nara Lokesh also accompanied him.
