NDA government’s one of the many ambitious projects is developing 100 smart cities across the country. Ever since it was declared AP CM Chandrababu Naidu is asserting that he will try to bag at least 10-13 cities for Andhra Pradesh state. Hence, people generally believe that NDA government is going to build 100 smart cities and Chandrababu is trying to clinch ten out of them for the state.

However, Venkaiah Naidu, who came on a visit to Vizag yesterday, gave a new twist to this ambitious project. He said “One shouldn’t misunderstand that developing smart cities means constructing them from scratch. It will take 40-50 years such smart cities. What my government planning is pick 100 existing cities across the country and develop them into smart cities.”

So, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu also should note this point said by Union Urbon Development Minister M Venkaiah Naidu and plan accordingly.
