Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu isn’t mincing words—he’s calling economic sabotage just as dangerous as cross-border terrorism, blaming the previous government for leaving the state’s finances in shambles and scaring off investors. His first year back in power has been rough, with trust issues on the global stage and sluggish growth. But he’s betting big on tech and turning Amaravati into a "Quantum Valley" to hit an ambitious 15% growth target.

Editor’s Note: Naidu’s framing economic instability as "terrorism" is a bold rhetorical move—it signals how high-stakes the recovery effort is for Andhra Pradesh. If his tech-driven growth plan works, it could reshape the state’s economy. But if it falls short, the political fallout could be just as dramatic. Either way, it’s a test case for whether flashy innovation hubs can fix deep-rooted financial distrust.
