CHITTOOR: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu is set to witness a significant personal milestone in his home constituency of Kuppam. On May 25, he will participate in the housewarming ceremony of his newly constructed residence in Sivapuram, located in Santhipuram Mandal.
The ceremony will take place in the presence of his family members. According to TDP leaders from Kuppam, elaborate arrangements are underway for the auspicious event. The residence, built on nearly one acre of land adjacent to the Kuppam-Palamaneru National Highway near Kadapalle Panchayat, is nearing completion. Construction on the house began three years ago during Naidu’s tenure in the opposition and is now complete.
This development marks a major milestone, especially as critics have often pointed out that the long-serving MLA from Kuppam did not have a personal residence in his constituency. With this housewarming, Naidu has effectively put those criticisms to rest. Beyond being a personal residence, the house is also expected to serve as a strategic political hub for the TDP in Chittoor district.
The announcement of the housewarming has generated a wave of enthusiasm among party cadres, with renewed energy and optimism visible across the region. With N Chandrababu Naidu returning to power as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, all eyes are on his new residence in Kuppam, a constituency he has represented for over three decades.
The house symbolizes his renewed commitment to the region and is being seen as a statement of political intent. Political observers suggest that the residence is more than just a home; it is a strategic move to reinforce the TDP’s influence in southern Andhra Pradesh. “Kuppam has always been Naidu’s stronghold, but with increasing political competition in the region, this house sends a strong message to opponents,” said one senior political analyst.
Local citizens have largely welcomed the development, expressing hope that the Chief Minister’s closer presence will accelerate infrastructure projects, employment opportunities, and public welfare initiatives in the region. As Andhra Pradesh enters a new chapter under Naidu’s leadership, his residence in Kuppam stands as a symbol of his deep-rooted connection to the constituency and his long-term vision for its development.
However, the move has also sparked political debate. A senior TDP leader from the region, while speaking on condition of anonymity, remarked, “This is not just a house; it’s a calculated political move to consolidate TDP’s presence in Kuppam, where the party has deep roots. But there are concerns that public resources are being leveraged for personal political gain.”
The construction of a personal residence by CM Naidu in Kuppam after over 30 years of political representation has raised political interest and debate among leaders not just in Chittoor district, but also in neighboring Tirupati district.
