Late NTR Enlivens Kadapa Mahanadu with AI Presence

Kadapa: On occasion of Telugu Desam founder Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao’s birth anniversary, TDP paid a heartfelt tribute to NTR by playing his AI-generated video at its annual conclave Mahanadu in Kadapa on Wednesday.

The video that lakhs of party workers present at the venue witnessed recreated NTR’s voice, expressions and his inimitable spirit, drawing an overwhelming response from the crowd.

The key highlights of the AI-generated speech on Mahanadu Day 2 featured NTR delivering a powerful message to the gathering about the 43-year journey of the Telugu Desam Party, its mission and the future ahead.

Rama Rao’s words stirred deep emotion and nostalgia among the party cadres, many of whom gave a standing ovation.

In the video, the virtual NTR opened his speech with a greeting to all Telugu people around the world, especially appreciating farmers, workers, artists and the loyal party cadre.

“It has been exactly 43 years since the birth of Telugu Desam Party, a movement I proudly say I founded, but born as a dream from the pain of common people, the sweat of labourers, and from the cries of the oppressed,” NTR said.

In the video, NTR praised Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu for his leadership and vision in transforming Andhra Pradesh. He recalled key achievements, like building Tank Bund, developing Cyberabad as a tech hub, and launching major irrigation projects like Pattiseema.

“Chandrababu Naidu transformed the Telugu land with vision and innovation. When I once asked when Godavari would meet Krishna, it happened through Pattiseema,” the virtual Rama Rao underlined.

NTR lauded welfare schemes like the ₹2/kg rice programme which began during his time. He said it had evolved into the P4 model under Chandrababu’s leadership to help poor families become financially secure.

The virtual NTR expressed pride in minister Nara Lokesh, calling him a young leader who is carrying forward his (Rama Rao’s) dream of empowering youth and standing by party workers.

“Today, my grandson Lokesh is fulfilling my dream and working for the betterment of people. Watching him from the heavens, I feel proud and emotional," the AI-generated NTR concluded, with the following blessings:

“May the Telugu land flourish like a field full of harvest; May every home bloom with eternal spring; May the dedication of our government yield fruitful results; And may all people live in harmony and happiness. Sarve Jana Sukhino Bhavantu.”
