N Chandrababu Naidu skips visit to NTR Bhavan

Hyderabad: Former Andhra Pradesh chief minister and TD president N. Chandrababu Naidu, who arrived in Hyderabad late Friday night, was confined to his residence on Saturday and skipped visiting NTR Bhavan.

Usually every Friday, Naidu comes to Hyderabad and spends some time in NTR Bhavan on Saturdays and discuss with party leaders.
