l​n spite of having the VVIP privilege of Maha Dwara Darsanam, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu chose to have darshan of Lord Venkateswara at Tirumala through the queue complex on Saturday (March 21, 2026), along with his family, on the occasion of his grandson Devaansh’s birthday. On the occasion of Devaansh’s birthday, Mr. Naidu’s family donated ₹44 lakh to Tarigonda Vengamamba Annadanam Trust. After Darshan, the family members went all the way from the temple to Matrusri Tarigonda Vengamamba Annaprasada Complex by foot and served meals to the devotees. Mr. Naidu and his son and HRD Minister Nara Lokesh personally walked through the aisle to serve food to the devotees seated for breakfast. Earlier, Mr. Naidu walked towards the cheering devotees and shook hands with some, keeping the security protocol aside.
