Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday thanked cadres and leaders of the TDP, Janasena and BJP for their collective efforts in securing the NDA coalition's victory in the local body elections.
Addressing a media conference here, the TDP supremo said even those who were denied election tickets had upheld coalition dharma and worked for the alliance's success.
"I sincerely thank the cadres and leaders of all three alliance parties for their hard work and sacrifices. We held extensive discussions on seat-sharing and ensured opportunities for candidates from different
communities in proportion to their population," said Naidu.
He said the elections had ushered in a new political trend, with candidates from diverse backgrounds, even those without significant political experience winning local body positions across Andhra Pradesh.
The Chief Minister acknowledge the sacrifices made by leaders and cadres during seat-sharing and said their contributions would be recognised.
Naidu said the people's mandate reflected the appreciation of the NDA coalition government's efforts, adding that a larger majority brought greater responsibility.
