Bill Gates Visits Andhra Pradesh
Microsoft founder Bill Gates recently toured Andhra Pradesh’s capital Amaravati, creating major political buzz. Gates spent a full day in the city, visiting high-tech projects funded by his charitable foundation. His schedule included checking an RTGS center at the Secretariat and exploring Prakriti Farm’s AI-powered agriculture using drones.
Government’s Grand Welcome
Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and his entire cabinet rolled out the red carpet for Gates. Ministers flooded social media with posts about the visit. Though Gates’ trip focused on foundation projects, the ruling coalition turned it into a major media event.
Social Media Frenzy
While all ministers shared updates, Information Minister Kolusu Parthasarathy’s post exploded online. His message contrasted current and former leadership styles through clever wordplay and photos.
The Viral Post That Sparked Debate
Parthasarathy posted two pictures with a bold caption: “If Chandrababu is with you, you meet Bill Gates… If you trust Jagan, you stay outside the gate.”
The Meaning Behind the Photos
The first photo showed CM Naidu introducing cabinet members to Gates during the Amaravati visit. The second was a throwback image from when former CM Jagan Mohan Reddy was in Delhi – showing local MPs waiting outside his door during a meeting.
Political Firestorm Erupts
The comparison ignited fierce online debates about how leaders treat colleagues. Parthasarathy hinted this reflected his own experience switching from Jagan’s party to Naidu’s alliance.
Parties Clash Over Past Treatment
Naidu add a sharp message to social media ctx party supporters circulated the post widely, claiming it exposed Jagan’s disrespect toward allies. They also referenced corruption passion cases against officials from Jagan’s administration, while Jagan’s supporters dismissed the comparison as misleading.
