Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar extended his congratulations to Telugu Desam Party chief N Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday, after the latter assumed power in Andhra Pradesh. The gesture came through a phone call, with Kumar expressing hopes for the state's progress under Naidu's leadership, a statement from the Chief Minister's Office confirmed.
