CBN Gratitude concert in support of AP former CM evokes good response

IT professionals from within the country and abroad extended their unflinching support to TDP president and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N.Chandrababu Naidu as they, along with celebrities from different fields, gathered at the GMC Balayogi stadium at Gachibowli on Sunday to participate in the ‘CBN Gratitude concert’.

The event was organised as part of the “I am with CBN” movement under way in protest against the alleged “illegal” arrest of Mr.Naidu by the YSRCP government in Andhra Pradesh.

The meet was organised to recall the contributions of Mr.Naidu for the development of IT sector in Hyderabad during his tenure as Chief Minister of the erstwhile united Andhra Pradesh. Incidentally, the GMC Balayogi stadium at Gachibowli was started during his tenure.

Professionals from IT industry and other fields have been organising protests ever since Mr.Naidu was arrested for his alleged role in the Skill Development scam in the successor A.P. State. The participants raised slogans in support of the TDP president, and displayed banners and placards seeking his immediate release.
