Telugu Desam party national general secretary Nara Lokesh took strong exception for the comments made against film actor K Chiranjeevi by some YSRCP leaders.
Addressing a massive public meeting at Chotapapayapalem of Sattenapalle Assembly segment in the combined Guntur district as part of his Yuva Galam pada yatra, Lokesh asked whether Chiranjeevi had spoken anything wrong. The Tollywood hero only asked the ruling party not to play politics with the film industry and asked the State Government to focus on people’s welfare, Special Category Status for the State, irrigation projects and on roads repair besides creating employment opportunities to the jobless, Lokesh said.
Lokesh announced the TDP’s full support to the ongoing agitation by the Electricity Board employees. Observing that Jagan Mohan Reddy has taken for a ride even the contract employees, Lokesh asked the Electricity Board employees to give a ‘current shock’ to the Chief Minister.
Since Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy did nothing for the State in the past four years, these YSRCP ‘puppies’ are getting angry, Lokesh remarked. Is it not a fact that the Minister Ambati Ramababu danced to the tunes, he asked.
“Did they not realize the values when a film was made with a cooked-up story blaming the TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu, me and the Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan,” the TDP national general secretary questioned.
Stating that almost all sections in the State are the victims of Jagan Mohan Reddy including the Electricity Board employees Lokesh said that in the YSRCP rule Andhra Pradesh has turned into ‘andhakara’ (dark) Pradesh.
The TDP national general secretary said that the party has already announced various welfare schemes in the name of ‘Bhavishaythuku Guarantee’ and said that immediately after forming the next government the party will take measures to fill all the vacant posts in various government wings.
Farmer’s issues also would also be resolved on a war-footing basis, if the TDP was voted to power; he said adding that the allowances now deducted to the police department staff members will be restored.
Earlier, when the villagers Kondamodu complained of various problems and demanded panchayat status for their village, Nara Lokesh promised to resolve these problems once the TDP forms the coming government. Safe drinking water will be supplied to every doorstep and priority will be given to provide basic amenities like roads, he added.
After successfully completing the pada yatra in Sattenapalle segment the Yuva Galam entered PedaKurapadu Assembly constituency in the evening. The party leader Kanna Laxminarayana, along with several TDP activists gave a send off to Lokesh while senior party leaders, including Kommalapati Sridhar, from PedaKurapadu segment gave him a warm reception.
