Vijayawada, October 13 (Daily Kiran) : Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay attended the Vijayawada Festival 2.0 on October 13, alongside Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu. The annual celebration took place at Punnami Ghat, located by the banks of the Krishna River.

During the event, Vijay addressed the audience in Telugu, receiving enthusiastic applause from those in attendance. “I am very happy to meet all of you. It is a privilege for me to participate in these Navratri celebrations,” he stated.

Vijay’s visit to Vijayawada was primarily to discuss water supply and river linking projects with Chief Minister Naidu. He expressed his joy at being present and extended his best wishes for Navratri to the crowd.

Upon arriving from Chennai, Vijay first visited the Kanaka Durga Temple to offer prayers and thanked the locals for their warm hospitality.

Both Vijay and Naidu enjoyed the vibrant cultural programs and traditional dances presented during the festival. The event, initiated by Vijayawada MP Kesineni Srinivas (Chinni), aims to showcase the hospitality, culture, traditions, and spiritual heritage of Vijayawada on a national stage.

Naidu remarked that the entire city is filled with excitement due to the festival. He congratulated the organizers and the entire event committee, noting that this was Vijay’s first visit to Vijayawada since becoming Chief Minister. “It feels as if Mother Durga herself has brought him here,” he said.

He praised Vijay for his commitment to the development goals of Tamil Nadu, highlighting that he achieved the position of Chief Minister just two years after founding his party.

Naidu expressed confidence in the youth, stating, “Seeing the enthusiasm of the youth gives me faith that our country’s young people can achieve anything. While our states may differ, our goal is the same: our nation must prosper, and the development of all states, including Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Karnataka, is essential.”

He also emphasized the potential for interlinking the Godavari and Cauvery rivers, which would benefit four states. Naidu expressed optimism that India would become the world’s number one country by 2047.
