Do CMs think green? Down To Earth (DTE) conducted a readers' survey in September 1998 to rate the CMs of each state.

Among its readers and India's environmentalists found that they do, at least in some states.

The readers awarded Chandrababu Naidu, the Andhra Pradesh CM, the top position in the survey.

I have not known a chief minister who takes so much interest in forest conservation activities. He himself reviews the forest activities and holds regular meetings with forest officials - Kallol Biswas, District forest officer, Anantapur

In the past, most chief ministers have only focused on politics. Naiclu's main focus has been on development programmes.
It is a good sign for the state - R N Athavale, National Geophysical Research Institute, Hyderabad

No chief minister in Andhra Pradesh has been as serious about development as Chandrababu Naiclu. All the programmes and policies introduced by Naidu indicates his willingness to take our state towards prosperity - K M Ramappa, V&Ger from Hottebetw, AnantaPur
