Staying true to his love for acronyms, Vice President elect M. Venkaiah Naidu said on Sunday that India stands for 'Integrated National Development Impacting All Indians'.
"India stands for: Integrated National Development Impacting All Indians, equally well. This is the mission for India," he said after being felicitated here for winning the vice-presidential poll.
Naidu, who even has a parody handle which goes by @VenkronyNaidu, defeated the opposition's nominee Gopalkrishna Gandhi, the grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, by a wide margin in the August 5 election.
The vice president elect said he has the highest respect for Karnataka, for it had given him an opportunity to serve the country as a Rajya Sabha member for three terms.

He also spoke about Indian democracy's might of making a person from a farmer's family as vice president.
Naidu said he would be very keen to make the Rajya Sabha proceedings meaningful in his capacity as its chairman.
