Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu will soon have an air-conditioned and bullet proof bus specially designed by a reputed automobile designer.
The swank vehicle will cost Rs 10 crore. The specially designed bus which will have all modern facilities will be used during Chandrababu's tours in districts.

The logistics involved in the 2,000-km plus walkathon, slated to conclude on Republic Day, are huge, as is the cost. An air-conditioned bus, which serves as a house on wheels, is only one among the large convoy of vehicles that provides food, water and shelter to the nearly 300 people, including commandos and ordinary policemen, who accompany him every day.

He's handled it well. Logically speaking, it's silly for a CM to pretend to be the site supervisor of a disaster recovery operation. But if he hadn't done it, he would have been accused of callous disregard for people's hardships etc. Hence the need for this drama. Full marks for PR-savviness.

Modi is very good at this too - has a good eye for optics and knows what plays well on TV. Very refreshing departure from distant, tone-deaf (and blind) politicians in the past.

CBN has a reputation that he makes the IAS fellows work hard. So, I don't think he is just playing a PR job sitting in the bus. I am sure, he prefers to be with his family.

The Vizag area needs his support. After he chose Vijayawada area for the capital, some from Vizag felt that their city (the biggest in AP now) was ignored. So, he is trying hard to show that the whole govt apparatus is working to rebuild Vizag. He is also trying to minimize any negative impressions that investors (including some Americans and Japanese) may have. It is not easy to make Vizag (or any area in AP) an IT hub. He wants both IT and Pharma to become big in Vizag. Most AP fellows in IT and Pharma are working in Hyderabad and there is no real reason why they will move back to the coast (unless KCR becomes a maniac again and opens his foul mouth on a regular basis).

What reputation that you keep gloating about sir? Do the IAS officers take oath (when they take up the job) that they put in 20 hour days or is it mandated? Only an idiot manager/boss would harass his staff.

I can understand about them needing to work longer hours during disasters like this but around the year? Did CBN provide those IAS officers & Mayor with 10 crore luxury bus each so they can work as hard as him or did he give them a week off? as he appears to have taken over their responsibilities.

He is not asking them to work for free. The DA for those helping in Vizag was increased as an incentive. There is nothing wrong in fostering a positive work culture.

Is slavery positive work culture? My point was not about current situation in Vizag rather about your broad statement that he makes them work hard, what does that even mean!

Ok. Here is an example. when CBN was the CM of united AP, he organized district level meetings between the collectors and people on a regular basis where the people would ask questions and the collectors had to respond. If any projects that were supposed to be completed, and were not, they had to explain on the spot why that was the case. Some people asked questions on corruption by IAS officers and they had to defend themselves! Accountability! In case you don't know, Modi copied some of CBN's methods in Gujrat (and he admitted to this). Incidentally, YSR chose mostly Reddys in his cabinet, whereas, CBN didn't have Kammas as a majority in his cabinet in united AP. You may have your reasons to hate CBN, but that is your prerogative.
