VIJAYAWADA: Chief Minister and TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu, who spent busy time during elections and also kept himself occupied after polls with the task of fighting against Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and also campaigning in other States in support of the non-BJP parties, took a break and left for Himachal Pradesh on Friday, along with his family members.
Sources in the TDP said that Naidu at one point of time decided to cancel his tour and remain in the capital city so as to monitor the cyclonic storm, which is expected to have an impact on the South Coastal districts of the State. With the Election Commission restricting him from holding reviews citing the Model Code of Conduct, he left for Himachal Pradesh as per the suggestion of the party leaders. However, Naidu hinted at returning to the State at any time in case of any cyclone damage, sources added.
Opposition Leader and YSRC chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy who already went to Switzerland for vacation on April 22, will return to AP on Saturday.
