Chandrababu’s London Trip: No Public Funds Involved

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu is set to leave for London on Saturday night, accompanied by his wife Nara Bhuvaneswari. Officials confirmed that the visit is purely personal and no government or public money will be used for the trip — all expenses will be borne by the Chief Minister himself.

During the visit, Nara Bhuvaneswari will be honored with two prestigious international recognitions on November 4. The Institute of Directors (IOD) has selected her for the Distinguished Fellowship 2025 Award for her contributions to leadership and social service. Additionally, her company Heritage Foods will receive the Golden Peacock Award for Excellence in Corporate Governance.

The awards will be presented at the Global Convention organized by the IOD in London. The same honors have previously been awarded to notable figures like Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Gopichand Hinduja, and Rajashree Birla, and now Bhuvaneswari joins this distinguished list.

After the award ceremony, Chandrababu Naidu will meet with industrialists and Indian community leaders in London to invite them to the CII Partnership Summit scheduled for November 14–15 in Visakhapatnam. The Chief Minister will return to India on November 6.
