₹1 Lakh Ticket Purchase Was My Entry Fee: CM Chandrababu

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu attended the Euphoria Musical Night event organized by the NTR Trust in Vijayawada. During his address at the event, he praised the NTR Trust management and staff for their efforts in raising funds to support thalassemia patients.

Speaking on the occasion, Chandrababu Naidu stated that after witnessing the event, his confidence in NTR Trust Managing Trustee Nara Bhuvaneshwari had further strengthened. He remarked that she not only successfully manages Heritage Foods but also runs the NTR Trust efficiently, attributing her leadership skills to her father. "NTR was a determined individual, and so is Bhuvaneshwari," he quipped.

Chandrababu Naidu also recalled that Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (NTR) was always at the forefront of helping people during crises. "His spirit continues to inspire us," he said. He expressed gratitude to Nara Bhuvaneshwari for giving him the opportunity to speak at the event.

In a lighthearted remark, the Chief Minister revealed that he had purchased a ₹1 lakh ticket to attend the event. "They only allowed me in after I bought the ticket," he joked. "But I didn't pay this amount to the trust; it was for the thalassemia patients, and that is my satisfaction," he added. Concluding his speech, he said, "It has been a wonderful evening. If I speak any longer, you (the audience) might not forgive me... Jai Hind, Jai NTR Memorial Trust!"

The grand event, held at the Indira Gandhi Municipal Stadium in Vijayawada, was attended by members of the Nara and Nandamuri families, adding to the celebratory atmosphere.
