October 03, 2014 16:08

Four months after he assumed charge, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu today finally got an office to function from.

On the auspicious occasion of Vijaya Dashami, Naidu today formally stepped into his official chamber on the 8th floor of L Block in the AP secretariat amid vedic chants.

Only bureaucrats and a couple of advisors to the government accompanied the chief minister on the occasion. Ever since becoming the CM of the truncated state in June, Naidu had been operating from a temporary "camp office" in the Lake View Guest House as his office chamber in the secretariat had to be built afresh.
