₹121 Crore in a Day: The Story of How Political Power Translates Into corporate Gold
Andhra Pradesh’s power corridors just witnessed a stunning reminder of how politics and profit walk hand in hand.
The spotlight? Nara bhuvaneshwari, wife of Andhra cm and tdp supremo Chandrababu Naidu.
The trigger? A sharp surge in Heritage Foods’ stock price.
The outcome? A mind-blowing ₹121 crore overnight jump in her personal wealth.
Meanwhile, the ordinary citizen continues to grapple with inflation, fuel hikes, and education loans. Two Indias, two realities.
1. heritage Foods: A Political Goldmine
heritage foods isn’t just another dairy company – it’s the crown jewel of the Naidu family. Headquartered in Hyderabad, it dominates southern India’s dairy industry with a market value crossing ₹5,000 crore.
2. The bhuvaneshwari Stake
bhuvaneshwari holds 2.26 crore shares (24.37% stake). When heritage foods jumped 10% in a single day, her stake alone ballooned by ₹121 crore.
3. Richer by the Hour
On Wednesday, the stock closed at ₹485. By Thursday, it surged to ₹541.60 intraday before cooling to ₹527. But by then, the dynasty’s wealth meter had already exploded.
4. Ordinary Citizens vs. Political Elites
Andhra’s farmers: Still waiting for fair crop prices.
Students: Selling land, taking loans for education.
Middle class: Struggling with EMI pressure.
Naidu family: Adding ₹121 crore like pocket change.
5. The “Growth” Narrative
heritage foods boasts of ₹1,136.8 crore revenue in Q1, marking its third straight quarter of double-digit growth. But while the corporate narrative celebrates expansion into renewable energy and animal feed, the real story is who benefits.
6. The Bitter Truth
This isn’t about just one company. It’s about a pattern: political families in india continue to turn democracy into a dynasty, and power into personal wealth.
For the people, it’s milk prices and rising costs.
For the Naidu family, it’s ₹121 crore in a single trading day.
🔥 Final Thought: heritage foods may sell milk, but the cream always rises to the top – straight into the pockets of the political elite.
