The Chief Minister stresses cooperation between Telugu States on water sharing and language promotion, and announces a Telugu University in Rajamahendravaram
-
Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Monday made a strong pitch for Telugu unity, river interlinking, and language-driven cultural confidence while addressing a massive gathering on the concluding day of the third World Telugu Mahasabhalu in Guntur.
The three-day event, organised by the Andhra Saraswatha Parishath, drew delegates from nearly 40 countries, reflecting the global presence and influence of Telugu-speaking communities.
Declaring that the platform was not political, Mr. Naidu said he would speak only about unity. “Telugu people may live in two States, but Telugu is our common mother tongue. There should be no animosity between the Telugu States. Whether it is water or cooperation, we must stand together,” he asserted. He reiterated his commitment to making the Telugu community “number one in the world” through unity, cooperation, and confidence.
