Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and his Government have been in the forefront of this resurgence. hree years is too short a time, but for someone who has proven as a world leader and a visionary like Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, it was enough to achieve extraordinary progress on the fast track. Andhra Pradesh is racing towards devel - opment under his dynamic leadership which is evident by the re - sults which are there for everybody to see. However, Chandrababu Naidu in all modesty says it is still not the time to cele - brate, but to review the work done so far in order to take fool-proof measures for making further strides in development to achieve all milestones one after another.
