AP CM Chandrababu Naidu has celebrated New Year at Vijayawada with his party leaders, MLAs, MPs and Ministers. First, he visits Kanaka Durgamma temple and then cuts New Year cake at a grand function arranged by his party leaders at Irrigation Department office in the city.

Addressing them he said, “We have successfully completed six months ruling. Year 2014 turned a nightmare for the state. The division of the state left a deadly blow to the AP state. The previous UPA government has made injustice to the AP state. It distributed the debts on the basis of population, but not the properties. So, the people of the state have taught a good lesson to the Congress party for it.

They have trusted us and elected to power. So, we have to strive hard to overcome all the problems. My aim is to make the AP state a smart state and No.1 in the country by year 2019 and No.1 in the world by year 2050. Later in the early morning he visited Lord Venkateswara Temple at Labbipeta and offered prayers.
