TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, has felt that the Chilakaluripet meeting on March 17 being organised under the aegis of the TDP, Jana Sena and the BJP is certainly going to lay the foundation for a new era.

Briefing media persons after a meeting of the coordination committee on Tuesday, Lokesh said that the three parties have come together and joined hands only to take the State from the stone era to golden era. He expressed confidence that the three parties alliance is going to create wonders in the State repeating the 2014 results.

Lokesh said that all sections of people are welcoming the alliance of the three parties as they have joined hands to save the State from the massive destruction caused by the YSRCP Government in these five years. Since the TDP, Jana Sena and the BJP have taken the Chilakaluripet meeting being organised on March 17 most prestigiously, the three parties formed 13 coordination committees and on Tuesday Lokesh, TDP State unit president, Kinjerapu Atchen Naidu, and BJP senior leaders besides the Jana Sena seniors attended the meeting.

Lokesh informed them that Bhoomi Pooja will be performed at Boppudi, the venue of the meeting, at 9.30 on Wednesday morning. He asked all those attending the meeting to see to it that no inconvenience is caused to those who are attending the meeting since it is the most prestigious and the first meeting being organised after the TDP rejoined the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). As lakhs of people are expected to attend the meeting the organisers should ensure that it will remain in the history of the State, Lokesh said.

All the senior leaders of the three parties who will be addressing the meeting will explain to the people in detail from the dais the need to come together and what the combine is going to do for the State, Lokesh explained. Several leaders from the three parties were present at the coordination committee meeting.

It is the TDP that is committed for the welfare of the Backward Classes (BCs) since its inception by the late NT Rama Rao and TDP president, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, has been continuing the process of encouraging them in all spheres, said party general secretary, Nara Lokesh, in Mangalagiri on Tuesday.

Addressing the largely attended ‘Jayaho BC’ meeting organised near Nagarjuna University, Lokesh said that the late NT Rama Rao had given several opportunities for BCs to occupy various positions in the government. Chandrababu Naidu, who has succeeded him too continued to encourage the community and now several empowerment committees have been formed for the sub-castes in BCs to further take them to the top level, he added.

The TDP will now motivate them further, particularly the youth in the BCs to see to it that they occupy high positions in the coming days, Lokesh declared. Pointing out that it is because of the TDP the BCs got 34 per cent reservation in local bodies, he said that Rs 36,000 cr was allocated for BC sub-plan during the TDP regime. Recalling several other welfare schemes that were successfully implemented during the TDP regime, Lokesh regretted that Jagan Mohan Reddy after becoming the Chief Minister has backstabbed the BCs.

“Jagan has brought down the quota for BCs in local bodies by 10 per cent resulting in 16,000 leaders losing their positions. This apart, the 8,000 acres assigned lands of BCs has been taken back by this Government besides revoking several schemes like Adarana while diverting Rs 75,000 cr funds from BC sub-plan,” he pointed out.

What is more astonishing is that when TDP politburo member and former minister, Yanamala Ramakrishnudu, has attended a wedding, a case under the provisions of the SC,ST Atrocities Act has been foisted while a rape case was registered against another senior TDP leader and former minister, Ayyannapatrudu, Lokesh said. Several cases were registered against TDP State unit president, Atchen Naidu, and another senior party leader, Kollu Ravindra, while a rowdy-sheet was opened against Nandyal TDP unit president, Rajasekhar, he added.

Reaffirming that action will certainly be taken against all those whose names are now mentioned in the red book, Lokesh expressed confidence that it is the TDP-Jana Sena combine that is going to form the coming government in another two months. Maintaining that everyone in the State knows well what kind of comments being made by the YSRCP leaders, he said that none other than the YSRCP MLC, Janga Krishna Murthy, himself has admitted that justice is not done for the community in his party.

Ruling party MP, Sanjeev Kumar, who belongs to Padmashali community, said that the YSRCP is simply stifling the voice of BCs while another BC leader, Parthasarathi, did not get the Chief Minister’s appointment, Lokesh said and stated that these incidents clearly indicate that BCs have no place in the YSRCP. The TDP has given several top posts for the leaders from the community, including the TTD chairman post, TUDA chairman and many other such posts, he said.

Listing out how mercilessly some BCs like Subbaiah, Chandraiah and Jalagaiah were killed, Lokesh said that Chandrababu Naidu attended the last rites of all these leaders while even the local YSRCP leaders did not bother to express sympathies with the bereaved families. The series of attacks on BCs clearly prove the kind of respect that Mr Jagan is giving for the community, he stated.

Observing that during his Yuva Galam pada he has come to know personally the problems being faced by the BCs, Lokesh said that he has prepared a report on all these issues and submitted it to the senior most leaders of the TDP. “They will certainly take the remedial measures in the coming days as it is going to be our government within two months. Chandrababu Naidu will resolve these issues through the BC Declaration,” he noted.

Lokesh assured the gathering that within days of his taking oath as the MLA, he will initiate measures to come to the rescue of the BCs.

Asking the officials as to why they want to enrol themselves into the red book, TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Thursday made it clear that severe action will be taken against all those who are blatantly violating the law now.

The officials should lead ethical lives, Lokesh said while addressing a huge public gathering at Rajam in Vizianagaram district on Thursday as part of his ongoing ‘Sankharavam’ programme. “I have immense faith in the Constitution drafted by the great Dr BR Ambedkar while Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, reposes confidence in the Raja Reddy statute. While I move among the public freely, Jagan moves behind the curtains,” Lokesh remarked amid thundering response from the public.

Terming Jagan as a 420 as 28 cases under Section 420 CrPC are pending against him, Mr Lokesh said that the chief advisor to the Government, Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy, always gives useless advice to the Government. Till now Sajjala has made a whopping Rs 150 cr in the shape of his salaries, he added.

None other than Sajjala, who is the chief advisor to the Chief Minister, is resorting to fake voting as he has been enrolled as a voter in Mangalagiri and Ponnur, Lokesh pointed out. “When the YSRCP won the Tirupati by poll with all duplicate votes, I have made it clear then itself that stringent action will be taken against those officials who resort to enrolling fake votes. It has now come true as the Election Commission has suspended an IAS officer, one DSP and a sub-inspector and action against more officials soon,” Lokesh said.

Stating that the Ministers in the State Cabinet are not aware of their own portfolios, Lokesh, referring to the poor condition of roads in rural areas, commented in a sarcastic way that Jagan has the credit of setting up one swimming pool in every village in the State. “If it rains the villagers in the whole State do not walk on the roads but swim,” he remarked.

Making a mockery of the boards displayed in various parts of the State that ‘Maa Nammakam Nuvve Jagan’ (we repose faith in you Jagan), the TDP general secretary asked how Jagan, who has cheated his own sister and mother, can be expected to do justice to others. When the Paytm batch of the YSRCP are using highly objectionable language against his own sister, Jagan never bothered to respond, Lokesh said.

The Chief Minister gives Rs 10 to everyone from one hand and takes back Rs 100 from the other, he said and pointed out that the steep hike in power charges, RTC fare and liquor rates clearly prove this beyond doubt. “After noticing the problems being faced by all sections of people, TDP supremo, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, and Jana Sena chief, Pawan Kalyan, have announced the Super-Six,” Lokesh said.

Reaffirming that the coming TDP-Jana Sena government will take the responsibility of providing 20 lakh jobs to the youth, Lokesh said that the teacher posts will be filled through the DSC every year. Stating that the GO-3 will be revived to provide jobs to the Girijans, Lokesh said that Rs 3,000 each will be paid per month to all those unemployed youth till they get jobs.

Asserting that free bus travel facility will be provided for women, Lokesh listed out all the welfare schemes that the coming TDP-Jana Sena government is planning to implement. Senior YSRCP leaders, Botsa Satyanarayana, a Minister, MP, Vijayasai Reddy, and the other senior leader, YV Subba Reddy, are illegally occupying the lands on a massive scale in North Andhra, Lokesh said.

Observing that Jagan has not completed any works like Ramabhadrapuram-Peddagedda project, Salur bypass road and all other projects, he said that once the TDP-Jana Sena is into power all the pending projects will be completed. Listing out all the developmental works that were executed in the area during the TDP regime, Mr Lokesh said that the local YSRCP leaders are simply looting the area.

“I am assuring you all that if you support the candidates to be fielded by the TDP-Jana Sena combine in the upcoming polls, we will show you what development is. I will personally take the responsibility to construct the roads in this region and also construct a ring road to Vizianagaram,” Lokesh noted.

Making it clear that the TDP will take the responsibility of coming to the rescue of those who are dire straits, Lokesh called upon the TDP and the Jana Sena activists to visit every doorstep to explain to the people on Super-Six. The TDP national general secretary also dared Mr Jagan to come for an open debate on his corruption and on the credibility of the TDP.

Stating that Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, before coming to power has promised to fill all the vacant posts in the government every year through job calendar but miserably failed to fulfill this promise thus cheating the youth, TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Tuesday made an appeal to the youth to just wait for two more months. The TDP-Jana Sena combine is going to form the coming government and once the alliance is into power, job calendar will be released every year regularly to fill all the vacant posts in different government wings, Lokesh declared.

For the third consecutive day on Tuesday Lokesh addressed a huge public meeting in Srikakulam district as part of his ‘Sankharavam’ programme. Thanking the TDP activists for having continued to carry the party flag despite false cases being foisted against them, Lokesh said that North Andhra, particularly Srikakulam district, is known for taking revenge against those who deceive them while remembering for lifetime if something good is done for them.

“Jagan has failed on all fronts and did not keep even a single promise made to different sections of society. What happened to the assurance given to the youth on notifying the DSC, fee reimbursement for Backward Classes (BCs) students, pursuing further education abroad, and filling up of 6,500 constable posts every year,” Lokesh asked and said that the people should decide what should be done for him for cheating them by making such false promises.

As the elections are just a couple of months away, he is now announcing the DSC, Lokesh said and added that even the number of posts announced is also much less than the existing vacancies. Is it not deceiving the jobless youth, he asked and made an appeal to the youth to wait for just two more months as the coming TDP-Jana Sena government will fill all the vacant posts.

“Those who have undertaken coaching spending lakhs of rupees should not get disappointed. Also several youth are resorting to suicides as they are not finding an oportunity to get any kind of employment in the prevailing situation in the State,” Lokesh said and asked the unemployed youth to wait only for a couple of months more. “We will come to your rescue. Those who do not get jobs immediately will be paid unemployment allowance till they get jobs,” he stated.

Making a mockery of producing the Tollywood film ‘Yatra-2’ spending crores of rupees by Jagan, Lokesh felt that this ‘Yatra’ is fast turning into ‘antima yatra’ (last journey) for the YSRCP leaders. The TDP national general secretary is of the firm opinion that no one is ready to watch this film even if they are offered a quarter of liquor free of cost.

Asking as to why TDP supremo, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, was sent to jail for 53 days for the no fault of his, Lokesh felt that Jagan will soon be behind bars for looting the State of Rs 1 lakh cr. Lokesh dared Jagan to come for an open debate on his corruption charges. “We are ready for an open debate on the corruption charges you are facing. Are you ready,”Lokesh asked Jagan.

Observing that he comes from a family which is not scared of even bombs, he said how he will get frightened for false cases. Pointing out that cases under non-bailable Sections have been registered against him for carrying the red book, Lokesh dared the State Government to take him into custody if he has committed any mistakes.

Pointing out that Jagan’s own mother and sister do not have faith in him, Lokesh said that he kicked both of them out of the house after coming to power. Regretting that the YSRCP leaders are making highly objectionable comments against Jagan’s sister and APCC president, Sharmila, the TDP national general secretary felt that when there is no security for the family members of Jagan in the YSRCP rule how other women can expect safety and security in this Government.

Lokesh suspected that attempts are being made to privatise the Visakha Steel Plant and said that once the TDP-Jana Sena government is formed after the coming elections, the steel plant will be purchased by the State Government, if necessary, to provide employment to the jobless. The Vamsadhara-Nagavali project works are almost completed during the last TDP regime and once the TDP-Jana Sena is into power in a couple of months the remaining works will also be completed besides taking up other pending works, Lokesh said.

Calling upon the TDP and the Jana Sena activists to meet everyone to take the schemes announced by Chandrababu in the name of ‘Babu Surety-Bhavishyathuku Guarantee’, Lokesh alerted the activists of both the parties to be cautious as the Paytm batch of the YSRCP is trying to bring in differences among them. “The elders of both the parties will decide who should be in the race in the coming polls and it is our duty to work for their victory,” Lokesh told the cadre of both the TDP and the Jana Sena.
