In what can be termed as a remarkable political change, IT Minister, K Taraka Ramarao for the first time credited Naidu for his contribution in bringing IT to Hyderabad. He acknowledged that it was Naidu who brought Bill Gates to the city and thus Microsoft entered Hyderabad.
This was the first time the young leader crediting Naidu. He usually says Hyderabad naturally evolved itself. Political Speculations are rife that this may be due to the new bonhomie between TDP and TRS in the wake of the rumours about VelKam (Velamas + Kammas).
There is an intense speculation that TRS may align with TDP in 2019 polls. KTR ‘s comments add credence to such expectations. On the other side, there are people who say there is nothing much to read into this as KTR was forced to take Naidu’s name in an IT Company.
People opine that making political statements before the knowledgeable crowd would have damaged KTR’s image. So, he was forced to give the credit. They also say that KTR was visibly uncomfortable when he has to take the name of Chandrababu.
