Lokesh will sound ‘Sankharavam’ bugle from Feb 11, says Atchen Naidu

TDP State unit president, Kinjerapu Atchen Naidu, on Thursday announced that his party national general secretary, Nara Lokesh, will again reach the people at the grassroots from February 11.

Though the Yuva Galam pada yatra of Lokesh was successfully completed but Lokesh could not meet all those with whom he wished to interact due to the conspiracies hatched by Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, resulting in TDP supremo, Chandrababu Naidu, going to jail, Atchen Naidu told media persons at the party office here. “Now Lokesh is planning to freely mingle with people covering all the areas which he could not visit during his Yuva Galam pada yatra,” Atcheh Naidu said.

In the name of ‘Sankharavam’ (sound the bugle), the TDP national general secretary will address the people through public meetings and also move closer to the common man, he added. Lokesh will interact with all the people, including the TDP cadre, covering 120 Assembly segments in 40 days beginning February 11, Atchen Naidu stated.

Declaring that the ‘Ra Kadali Raa’ programme of the TDP supremo, Chandrababu Naidu, has concluded, he said that Chandrababu will soon join the public through road shows. Atchen Naidu said that both the Yuva Galam and ‘Rea Kadali Rea’ are a resounding success in thoroughly exposing the atrocious and destructive rule of Jagan Mohan Reddy and creating awareness among the people.

With the fear of going to jail in the cases pending against him, Jagan has been falling at the feet of the seniors at the Centre for the past five years, the TDP State unit president said. With the apprehension that he has to go to jail if the corruption cases pending against him are reopened anytime, Jagan has always been feeling insecure and nervous, he remarked.

Terming Jagan, other YSRCP leaders and those who are managing the social media of that party as ‘fake fellows’, the TDP State president said that once the TDP-Jana Sena combine forms the coming government all of them will be taught a fitting lesson. Only the YSRCP persons can resort to circulate the morphed photos of Chandrababu in the social media, he observed.

Expressing happiness at the ‘Koyi Katti’ Seenu getting bail, Atchen Naidu said that this innocent Dalit youth, Srinivas, has fallen victim to the selfishness of Jagan, who was behind bars for five long years for no fault of his. The respect for the legal system has been doubled with the granting of bail to Srinivas, he maintained.

Atchen Naidu said that Mr Lokesh, through his ‘Sankharavam, will take to the people all the schemes to be implemented by the coming TDP-Jana Sena government which were announced by Chandrababu Naidu.

Red sanders mafia ruling the roost in State, says Lokesh

Stating that the sed sanders mafia is ruling the roost in the State, TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Tuesday that the killing of constable Ganesh in KV Palli mandal of Annamayya district earlier in the day reflects the fact that the mafia’s atrocities have reached its peak.

Lokesh said that Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy’s rule has become a golden era for the smugglers. In fact, the red sanders mafia has taken birth with the Punganur Veerappan, Minister, Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy and the international smuggler, Gangireddy, he added.

By declaring these red sanders smugglers as the YSRCP candidates for the upcoming polls, Jagan has established a green channel for these smugglers. If the police personnel come in the way of these smugglers they are being finished and the killing of the Task Force constable earlier in the day reflects the fact that these smugglers have the blessings of the ruling party elders, Lokesh said.

Paying tributes to the Task Force constable, Ganesh, who was laid down his life while on duty, Lokesh expressed deep felt sympathies to the bereaved family members. Demanding that the State Government immediately come to the rescue of the family of Ganesh, Lokesh said that the culprits who killed the constable should be punished severely.

The Task Force constable, Ganesh, was crushed to death under a running vehicle in KV Palli mandal of Annamayya district by suspected red sanders smugglers and he succumbed to injuries while being shifted to the nearby hospital.

Jagan has credit of exploiting police for ganja smuggling: Lokesh

Terming Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, as an economic extremist, TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Friday said that since the State is now in the hands of such an economic extremist all the resources are being subjected to looting and atrocity is ruling the roost.

Lokesh said that as Jagan has mastered the art of economic crimes some police personnel are fast turning out to be thieves, smugglers and kidnappers. Committing crimes has almost become a habit for some police personnel as Jagan has been making use of them as factionists for his political vendetta, he remarked.

Since the ruling dispensation has been making use of the Crime Investigative Department (CID) officials for kidnaps and black mailings the police personnel have come to a conclusion that they can certainly rule the roost, Lokesh said. These police personnel are forming into various gangs and are resorting to kidnaps and smuggling which is resulting in this system getting totally destroyed, he regretted.

It is really causing a great concern that a sub-inspector, Sujan, who is working with the office of the DIG of Kurnool formed a gang, has kidnapped the chairman of an IT company in the name of a CID team and was caught by the Hyderabad police, Lokesh said in the press note. The police personnel who are well aware that the ganja mafia has the blessings of the top persons in the State Government have become the ganja smugglers, he added.

The incident in which a head constable of the third battalion of the Andhra Pradesh Special Police (APSP) force at Kakinada along with a constable are caught by the Hyderabad police clearly indicates that the State police personnel have turned into smugglers, Lokesh maintained.

Meanwhile, TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu said that for the past four and a half years, Andhra Pradesh had made more headlines for drugs than development. The recent arrest of two police officers from Kakinada in an anti-drug operation in Hyderabad is a matter of deep concern and embarrassment for our state, he said. In light of this regrettable incident, the YSRCP government must address a crucial question of who the mastermind behind this racket is and who are the leaders involved, he asked.

Lokesh criticises Jagan for action on Anganwadis

TDP general secretary Nara Lokesh on Monday criticised chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy for taking action against the agitating Anganwadi workers. He said that the state government had already clamped Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA) on Anganwadis.

The Anganwadis were agitating for the past 45 days and wondered why the government had not addressed their problems. He said that the government issuing notice to withdraw the services of agitating Anganwadi workers show the impatience and incapability of the state government.

He said that the chief minister had lost his mind with the agitation of own party MLAs on one side and his sister Y S Sharmila coming as the Congress chief on the other. He said that Jagan Mohan Reddy had lost the mental balance with these acts and was showing the anger on the Anganwadis.

He said that the Anganwadis have called for Challo Vijayawada agitation to mount pressure on the government. The agitation had caused tremors in Tadepalli palace, Lokesh said. Jagan Mohan Reddy was losing his control with the agitation of the Anganwadi workers, who refused to bow down to the state government.

Lokesh asked the chief minister to accept the just demands of the Anganwadi workers. He said that the demands were all genuine and needed to be addressed at the earliest. He said that the TDP-Jana Sena government would recruit all those who were removed by the present government. He asked the Anganwadi workers not to be feared by Jagan Mohan Reddy’s pressure tactics. The TDP-Jana Sena government would recruit them all once the government is formed, he said.

He congratulated the Anganwadi workers for not bowing down to the Jagan Mohan Reddy government. He extended support for their strike and said that the government has to come down on the demands. He said that the TDP-Jana Sena government would accept all the demands of the Anganwadi workers once the elections are over.

Lokesh’s call to join hands for development

TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Wednesday gave a call for all like-minded people to join hands and work unitedly for the overall development of the State, including Mangalagiri Assembly segment.

Lokesh has been meeting several intellectuals and impartial leaders for the past several days and on Wednesday he met many intellectuals from Tadepalle like Dontireddy Muralishar Reddy, Kaja Lakshmi Prasad, Budda Someswara Rao and others. All of them and the members of their families promised to extend their full cooperation to Lokesh for the progress of Mangalagiri Assembly segment.

The TDP national general secretary said that the party is going to form the government in the coming three months under the leadership of former chief minister, Chandrababu Naidu, which will solidaly stand by all sections of society. The TDP will also work for the overall development of all BCs, he said.

The Jagan Mohan Reddy Government has totally destructed the education system and illegally occupied the assets of private educational institutions in the name of merger thus doing great injustice to the poor students, Lokesh remarked.

Observing that he has an action plan to transform Mangalagiri as the best segment in the State, Lokesh said and made an appeal to all of them to extend their cooperation to achieve the goal.

YSRCP MLA resorting to committing sins at pilgrim town of Srikalahasti, says Lokesh

All the pilgrims pray Lord Sri Kalahasteeswara that all their sins are removed and that they be permitted to take the right path but YSRCP MLA, Biyyapu Madhusudhan Reddy, with all his authoritarianism, is resorting to committing various kinds of sins in the precincts of the great Srikalahasthi, observed TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Tuesday.

In a press note released here, Lokesh said that the MLA is behaving sinfully towards the very God and the Goddess. The MLA is demolishing the rooms on the precincts of the ancient temple where the sacred prasadams are made for the Lord and the Goddess and the holy place where divine Mruthunjaya poojas are performed, he said.

Lokesh strongly condemned the attempts to undertake the excavations on the precincts of the holy temple by completely ignoring the archaeological and the endowments guidelines. “It amounts to not only violation of the norms to damage the renowned and historic assets but also is an immoral act,” Lokesh said and demanded an immediate action against those responsible for such offensive excavations.

Lokesh demands justice to AgriGold victims

TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Saturday demanded Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, to do justice to the victims of the AgriGold.

In a letter addressed to the Chief Minister and released to the media, Lokesh said that ”Jagan, you might have forgotten the allegations that you levelled against the then TDP government and against me and the venom that you have spit against me while you were the leader of the Opposition. But we have not forgotten it.”

Stating that the AgriGold that took birth when the late Dr YS Rajasekhar Reddy was the chief minister, indulged in scams at that time itself. After the TDP came to power in 2014, the 21,000 acres of AgriGold were attached, arrested the management representatives and did justice to the victims but still false allegations were levelled against the then government, he said.

”The victims met me during my Yuva Galam pada yatra as they have come onto the roads since they reposed faith in you as you, as the leader of the Opposition, have made several promises to them,” Lokesh said in the letter. What happened to the assurance given to the AgriGold victims that their money would be returned to them within a week of coming to power, he asked.

The victims suffered more now as the Rs 250 cr that was supposed to be distributed to them by the then TDP government was reduced by Rs 14 cr and distributed to them after 22 weeks of coming to power that washed off his hands, Mr Lokesh said. The TDP general secretary asked Jagan whether the Rs 10 lakh ex gratia was paid to any of the families of the 600 victims of the AgriGold who committed suicide or at least consoled any of their family members. ”Is this your humanity,” Lokesh asked Jagan.

Pointing out that the then TDP government had paid Rs 5 lakh each as ex gratia to 142 family members of the AgriGold victims who resorted to suicide during 2014-19, Lokesh said. ”But still you have published some cooked-up stories that I have encroached on the lands of AgriGold,” Lokesh mentioned in the letter.

Asking as to why not even a cent of the AgriGold land is attached though it is almost five years since he has come to power, Lokesh said that the victims are more worried that Jagan and his associates are eyeing on their lands. ”Now I demand that you do justice to the remaining over 10 lakh AgriGold depositors paying the Rs 3080 cr due to them before you step down,” Lokesh said in the letter.

Lokesh gets CID notice on Red Book threat

TDP general secretary Nara Lokesh on Friday received a notice from the APCID for issuing threats to the officials in the name of Red Book. The ACB court had directed the CID to serve notice to Lokesh and seek his explanation.

Lokesh on receiving the notices through his WhatsApp number, replied to the CID officials confirming the receipt of the notice.

Lokesh had been saying that he had a Red Book with him in which he had written names of some of the officials and the ruling YSR Congress leaders who caused troubles to the TDP leaders. He said that he would give the book to party president N Chandrababu Naidu to take action against them once the TDP formed the government after the 2024 general election.

The CID alleged that the threats from Lokesh were aimed at some of the witnesses in the skill development scam in which Chandrababu Naidu was arrested. Lokesh was threatening the officials of severe action, which is in violation of the 41A notice given to him in the past.

The court also said that Lokesh was threatening everyone and sought the permission of the court to arrest him. The court posted the case to January 9 and directed the CID officials to issue notice.

However, Lokesh said that he had not threatened anyone involved in the investigation of the cases filed against his father Chandrababu Naidu or himself. He said that the names in the Red Book were only those who violated the rules and acted against the TDP at the behest of the ruling YSR Congress.

He said that he had written the names of the officers who were acting as the agents of the ruling party. He asked the officials to work as the government servants and not as the agents of the ruling party.

Despite losing poll I never deserted Mangalagiri, says Lokesh

Despite losing poll I never deserted Mangalagiri, says Lokesh

“I have contested from Mangalagiri Assembly segment in 2019 elections from where the TDP never emerged victorious and despite getting defeated I have never deserted Mangalagiri, observed party general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Wednesday.

Addressing the TDP general body of the Mangalagiri Assembly segment at the party headquarters here, Lokesh said that “the voters here could not understand then what I am.” Calling Mangalagiri as a mini-Andhra Pradesh as almost all community people live here, he added.

Stating that during his Yuva Galam pada yatra whenever he listens to the problems of various sections of people he immediately recollects Mangalagiri. “I have earlier visited all corners of this segment to have the first hand information about the issues faced by the handloom workers, goldsmiths, BCs, Dalits, STs and minorities. This is the reason as to why whenever someone raised the problems I recollect Mangalagiri,” he added.

Maintaining that he has completely mingled with the people of Mangalagiri in the past four or five months, Lokesh said that he has implemented 27 various welfare schemes with his own funds. “We have supplied food for the hungry through Anna Canteens and extended marriage gifts through Pelli Kanuka scheme while push-carts were given to provide employment besides other schemes like Stri Sakthi, free medicare through NTR Sanjeevani,” he said.

Lokesh said that when he was defeated from here, some people made fun of him and even TDP supremo, Chandrababu Naidu, too asked him whether he wants to contest from here again. “I made it clear that there is no question of going back,” he said.

Noting that the situation at Mangalagiri has come to such a pass that the sitting MLA is being replaced, Lokesh recalled the statement made by the sitting MLA, RK, when he resigned from the party that the Chief Minister has totally deceived the people here. The Chief Minister promised Cabinet berth to RK if he wins from Mangalagiri but did not keep the word while no funds are allocated for the development of Mangalagiri despite making a promise that some special funds will be allocated for the development of this segment, he pointed out.

Promising the people of Mangalagiri that he will certainly take personal responsibility to develop this segment, Lokesh said that though the voters here defeated him in the last elections he still stood by them when they are in trouble. “I have already prepared a master plan for the development of Mangalagiri and houses will be built to all those who are now shelter-less,” Lokesh said.

Lokesh also promised to take steps to regularise the lands who are in possession of the assigned, government and irrigation lands within a few days of the TDP back in power. The U-One Zone which is causing trouble to the Tadepalle farmers will be lifted and a separate welfare corporation for goldsmiths will be set up, he said.

A flyover and an underpass will be constructed to permanently solve the traffic problems, Lokesh said and stated that once the TDP is into power in another three months all the issues of the farming community will be resolved on a war-footing basis. “Now only 100 days are left for us and I am meeting all the elders in this Assembly segment. Leaders should have no protocol and egos. Let us meet everyone personally,” Lokesh told the party leaders and the cadre.

Calling upon the TDP cadre to focus on voter verification, he wanted the partymen to visit every doorstep and complete the process by the end of January. The schemes announced by Chandrababu like Babu-Surety Bhavishyathuku Guarantee and the Super Six should be taken to the people, he said.

Lokesh advised the party workers and leaders not to indulge in group politics as he is there to resolve any issue, be it small or big. Lokesh said that he will take the responsibility to protect the interest of the party leaders and cadre even if some leaders from other parties join the TDP.

“I am aware of the fact who strives for the progress of the party and I will take your responsibility,” Lokesh told the party leaders and workers. He called upon the partymen to work hard for the success of the TDP in the coming polls which are just 100 days away.

Is Jagan Govt safeguarding ganja plantations, asks Lokesh

Of late, doubts are being expressed at every quarter whether the Jagan Mohan Reddy Government turned into a fence to safeguard the ganja plantations, asked TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Wednesday.

Observing that funds were being released earlier annually for destroying ganja plantations, Lokesh, in a press note released here, asked as to why such funds are not released after Jagan Mohan Reddy has become the Chief Minister. Expressing serious concern that abuse of ganja and other drugs is alarmingly on the rise in the State, Lokesh said wherever ganja was seized in any part of the country the roots are from the State.

“The State Government which is supposed to control the abuse of ganja is simply sitting idle which is giving room for various doubts,” Lokesh said. Whichever party is in power, every December funds are released to destroy the ganja plantations and farms across the Andhra-Odisha border, he said, adding that this operation is performed with the cooperation from the Excise, Police, Revenue, Mining and other wings of both Andhra Pradesh and from the neighbouring Odisha.

“During the TDP regime, funds were released every December for all the five years to destroy these ganja plantations on a largescale across the border of the two States,” the TDP general secretary mentioned in the press note. What is surprising is that though it is almost five years since the YSRCP came to power not even a single year budget was allocated for this purpose, he stated.

At least the officials concerned did not conduct any review meeting on the alarming growth of ganja plantations, he said. It is really shameful that Andhra Pradesh has turned into a ganja hub transformed the State into a capital for drug abuse, Lokesh said.

The TDP general secretary is of the strong opinion that the ruling YSRCP leaders are behind the ganja smuggling from the State due to which the operations generally cnducted in December every year to destroy the ganja plantations are totally brought to a halt. Lokesh demanded a clear answer from the Chief Minister and his Government for all these issues.

Lokesh thanks all those who extended cooperation during Yuva Galam

“I profusely thank all those who extended their cooperation in my Yuva Galam pada yatra in helping me march towards a new era,” said TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Friday.

In an open letter to all his supporters, Lokesh said that the people walked along with him to help him successfully complete his 226-day long pada yatra that he began at Kuppam on January 27 and concluded at Visakhapatnam on December 16.

The media managements, the journalists and the other staff members besides his public relations team have played a major role in taking the problems of different kinds of people that he noticed while passing through the rural areas, he said.

The Yuva Galam team and volunteers have discharged their duties with commitment by providing security to him throughout his pada yatra, Lokesh said.

“Though the State Government has made every effort to create obstacles to my pada yatra at every stage, without succumbing to pressure the police personnel have performed their duty and I thank them so much,” Lokesh added.

The TDP national general secretary also expressed his gratitude to all the party leaders, cadre, TDP office staff members and the security personnel.

“I am totally indebted to all those who showered their blessings on me and I will certainly stand by my promises that I have made to everyone during my Yuva Galam pada yatra,” said Lokesh while concluding his open letter.

Battle has begun and will continue till Jagan is out of power, says Lokesh

TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Wednesday declared that the battle has already begun, and this will continue till the doors of Tadepalle palace are broken.

Addressing the immense crowd gathered for the Nava Sakam (new era) public meeting got up to mark the winding up of his Yuva Galam pada yatra, Lokesh said “if people undertake pada yatra it will be a war but when a pada yatra is undertaken in an evil rule it is a revolution,” Lokesh remarked.

Stating that Yuva Galam is the voice of the people, the TDP general secretary said that Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, is feeling egoistic by implementing the Raja Reddy constitution. “Your Lokesh rigidly follows the provisions of Dr BR Ambedkar’s Constitution,” he said.

Lokesh made it clear that this Yuva Galam concluding meeting is only a beginning but not an end. Jagan is scared of TDP supremo and former chief minister, Chandrababu Naidu and Jana Sena chief, Pawan Kalyan, he said that Chandrababu was sent to jail after arresting him illegally.

Terming Chandrababu as a visionary and Jagan as a prisoner, Lokesh felt that had Jagan been taken into custody one scam every day might have been exposed. Jagan has totally damaged democratic norms, he said that now a war is on between the egoistic Jagan and self-respect of the people.

Observing how a person who looted Rs 100 cr can be called a poor leader, Lokesh said that the power of democracy will come into the open in another 100 days. Recalling that Jagan has issued the GO number one only to create hurdles for Yuva Galam, he said one day one itself he said he is ready to face any kind of consequences.

“I began my Yuva Galam at Kuppam and after 226 days I walked for 3132 km covering 2100 km in 97 Assembly segments,” Lokesh said. He said his voice is a gift by the late NT Rama Rao, the founder of the TDP, Lokesh observed that no power on earth can stifle his voice though every effort was made to create all kinds of hurdles for his pada yatra.

Making it clear that getting scared is not in his blood, Lokesh said that Jagan has started feeling totally insecure as Yuva Galam on one side and the announcement of Bhavishyathuku Guarantee by Chandrababu on the other coupled with Vaahi Yatra of Jana Sena chief, Pawan Kalyan. This is the reason as to why Chandrababu was illegally taken into custody and was kept in jail for 53 days, he noted and said that ultimately truth prevailed.

For Pawan Kalyan too this Government is creating all kinds of hurdles and his flight scheduled for the State was deliberately cancelled and he was stopped on the Andhra Pradesh border. Stating that he will bury Jagan’s egoism, Lokesh said that Jagan totally destroyed the State pushing Andhra Pradesh into Rs 12 lakh cr debts resulting in payment of interest per annum to the tune of Rs 1 lakh cr.

“This is how he is implementing the welfare schemes while Chandrababu is known for creating assets and taking up the welfare of the people,” Lokesh said. He wanted Pawan Kalayn to move to the State as the people are waiting for him here.

TDP never accepts Vizag Steel Plant privatisation, says Lokesh

“TDP never accepts privation of the Vizag Steel Plant and immediately after the party is into power, we will certainly raise our voice in Parliament against the move to privatise the plant,” said Nara Lokesh, TDP general secretary, on Monday.

Necessary steps will be taken to see to it that justice is done for the Steel Plant displaced and the coming TDP government will extend its cooperation for the plant like allotting captive mines which are necessary for its survival, Lokesh told the Steel Plant displaced who met him during his Yuva Galam pada yatra in Gajuwaka, which ends on Monday after 226 days. The Steel Plant displaced brought to Lokesh’s notice that even after 40 years justice is not done to them though they have given their lands for the project.

The displaced told Lokesh about the Centre’s plan to privatise the Steel Plant and once the Centres goes ahead with it they will be the worst hit majority of them are yet to get compensation for the lands that they have given for the plant and also jobs as promised by the management. The displaced appealed to Lokesh to continue the steel plant in the public sector once the TDP is back in power in the coming polls.

The Steel Plant is the result of many sacrifices after a prolonged battle, Lokesh said this is the only Steel Plant located along a sea-shore. Andhra’s self-respect is attached to this plant and at any cost its privatisation will not be allowed, Lokesh stated. Though the Centre has already announced that the plant will be privatised, Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, has been remaining silent for fear of the Centre’s reprisal by bringing back the cases pending against him, remarked Lokesh.

This apart, Jagan also has designed a plan to loot 8,000 acres of the Steel plant by joining hands with some local industrialists, Lokesh said and noted that the coming TDP government will certainly initiate steps for the welfare and security of the Steel Plant employees and workers. Steps will also be taken to the Steel Plant displaced and implement all the promises made to them, he promised the displaced.

Lokesh told the Padmasali representatives who met him at the Durgapuram bus stand that Jagan who promised the BCs that he will be their backbone has totally deceived them. At least 55 handloom workers had committed suicide in the YSRCP rule and the Chief Minister did not even console their bereaved family members, leave alone paying any ex gratia, Lokesh said.

Loan waiver to the tune of Rs 110 cr was implemented during the TDP regime for the handloom workers and subsidies too were extended to them on raw material besides sanctioning loans to them, he said. “Once we are back in power TIDCO houses will be built for the handloom workers in urban areas and common working sheds with all necessary basic needs will be set up. This apart 200 units free power will be supplied to them,” Lokesh observed.

The two-wheeler workers wanted recognition for them by the State Government and loans on subsidy, Lokesh assured them that all their demands will be conceded by the coming TDP-Jana Sena government in three months. Lamenting that two-wheeler mechanics too are the victims of Jagan, the TDP general secretary said that training centres will be set up for them by the coming TDP-Jana Sena government and modern tools will also be supplied to them.

Jagan diverted Rs 76,000 cr BC Sub-Plan funds, says Lokesh

Jagan diverted Rs 76,000 cr BC Sub-Plan funds, says Lokesh

During the TDP regime instruments worth Rs 964 cr were supplied to the Backward Classes (BCs) with 90 per cent subsidy under Aadarana scheme but Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, has diverted Rs 75,760 cr funds of the BC Sub-Plan, said TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Saturday.

The Yelamanchili and Arabupalem BCs met Lokesh during his Yuva Galam pada yatra and wanted a separate legislation for the safety and security of their community besides increasing reservations for them in education and employment. The BCs also wanted better opportunities for them in legislative bodies and houses to be built separately for the community besides allotment of house-sites for them.

Pointing out that the late NT Rama Rao during his tenure as the chief minister,provided 24 per cent reservations for BCs while Chandrababu Naidu, who succeeded him increased the quota to 34 per cent, Lokesh said that Jagan brought down the reservations for BCs by 10 per cent which resulted in 16,000 leaders of the community losing their posts. When the BCs raised their voice on the injustice done to them, Jagan registered 26,000 illegal cases against them, he added.

Assuring the BCs that a separate legislation will be enacted once the TDP-Jana Sena combine forms the coming government, Lokesh said all the BC communities will be encouraged in all sectors. He also promised houses and house-sites for those who do not have shelter of their own.

When the jaggery makers complained to Lokesh at Munagapaka that several curbs are imposed by this Government on the sale of their products and they are being subjected to various kinds of harassment resulting in their suffering huge losses, Lokesh said that this Government’s sole aim is harass the petty-businessmen and extort money from them.

This inefficient administration which could not catch those who are selling ganja, drugs and illicit liquor, is causing troubles to businessmen. Though ganja is being cultivated in the Visakha Agency area with the blessings of those ruling party leaders, this Government is not taking any measures to control it, he remarked.

In another three months, the TDP-Jana Sena combine is coming to power and all the problems of the aggery makers and sugarcane growers will be solved immediately, Lokesh said. All the restrictions that are imposed now will be lifted by the coming TDP government, he said.

Lokesh visited the camp where Anganwadis are on strike and expressed solidarity with them. “We are coming back to power in another three months and all the genuine demands of the Anganwadis will be conceded,” Lokesh told the striking Anganwadis. Leave alone solving the problems of Anganwadis, the striking workers are being harassed and this shows the dictatorial mindset of Jagan, he remarked.

When the farmers of Gangadevipeta raised the problems that they are facing, Lokesh said that due to the inability of Jagan the farming sector is pushed into deep crisis and even the irrigation projects are being neglected. The Annamayya project, Pulichintala and the Gundlakamma project gates are washed away only due to negligence, he said, adding that immediately after the TDP-Jana Sena is into power in the coming polls, the issues will be taken up on a war-footing basis.

When the poor condition of roads in their area was raised during an interaction with Yadava community representatives of 82nd ward of the Greater Visakha Municipal Corporation (GVMC), Lokesh said the issue will be resolved once the TDP-Jana Sena combine is into power in the coming polls. Pointing out that the TDP supremo, Naidu encouraged the Yadava community in all spheres, including giving posts in the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Trust Board, Lokesh said that Jagan is simply cheating the community by ust saying my BCs.

Even though representation was given for Yadavas in the Legislative Council by the TDP, Lokesh said that the coming TDP-Jana Sena government too will provide proper representation to them as per their population ratio. He listed out how many leaders have become MLCs and MLAs from the community through TDP.

Govt didn’t extend any kind of assistance to farmers, says Lokesh

This government has not extended any kind of financial assistance to the farmers and did not pay even the crop insurance, said the TDP national general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Friday.

During his Yuva Galam pada yatra, Lokesh visited the tobacco crop submerged in the recent Michaung cyclone at Venkatapuram in Yelamanchili Assembly segment. A tenant farmer, Appa Rao, told Lokesh that he has invested thousands of rupees, including Rs 20,000 as lease to raise tobacco crop but the sudden cyclone has totally damaged the crop and he did not get even a single rupee assistance from the Government.

This government is totally neglecting the farming community, Lokesh said, adding that the official website clearly states that only 16 farmers had got crop insurance this year. The inefficiency of the Government has pushed the farming sector into deep crisis, he said and promised to take steps to extend all possible help like compensation for crop loss to the farming community, including tenant farmers, once the TDP-Jana Sena combine is into power in the coming elections.

When the villagers of Gorle Dharmavaram complained to Mr Lokesh that the panchayat funds are not being utilised for development of their village after this YSRCP came to power, Lokesh said that Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, has totally destroyed the local bodies. The Government has looted the Rs 9,000 cr released by the 14th and 15th Finance Commission for the panchayats, he said.

The villagers also informed Lokesh that illegal cases are being foisted against the villagers if they raise their voice against the Government and compensation has not been paid yet for the 10 acres of land acquired in their village for building Jaganna Colony. Promising that the TDP will certainly mount pressure on the State Government to immediately clear all the dues pending for the poor, Lokesh said that additional funds will be sanctioned by the coming TDP-Jana Sena government for local bodies for providing basic amenities.

When the SEZ displaced brought their problems to his notice, Lokesh said that the State Government is completely neglecting the displaced and immediately after the TDP is back in power compensation will be paid to them. Also, the land allotted to the displaced will be handed over to them, he added.

Lokesh expressed shock at the death of MLC, Sheik Sabji, in a road accident. “The people’s voice in the Legislative Council has totally become silent with his death in the tragic road accident,” Lokesh said. Paying rich tributes to the departed soul, Lokesh expressed his deep condolences to the bereaved family members.

Is Jagan running a Govt or private army, asks Lokesh

Is Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, running a government or a private army, asked TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Thursday.

When the Anganwadi workers and helpers who are on an agitational path, met Lokesh during his Yuva Galam pada yatra here, he expressed solidarity with them and felt that it is really atrocious that the State Government is harassing the Anganwadis who are on the agitational path in a democratic way to press for their genuine demands. Who has given the right to the Government to break the locks of the Anganwadi centres, he asked.

The Anganwadi workers informed Lokesh that the State Government is acting in a very cruel manner with them and the Anganwadi centers have been forcibly occupied by breaking the locks. Illegal cases are being registered against them, they told Lokesh.

The Anganwadis wanted regularisation of their services with a minimum wage of Rs 26,000 per month and some retirement benefits besides payment of pension. This apart, they want the Supreme Court judgment on gratuity be implemented and promotions for all the eligible. The Anganwadis also informed Lokesh that Travelling Allowances (TD) and Dearness Allowances (DA) have been pending payment since 2017 and these dues should be cleared immediately.

Responding to the Anganwadi workers and helpers, Lokesh said that the TDP extends its support to their ongoing agitation and promised to lift all the illegal cases registered against them now once the TDP-Jana Sena combine forms the next government. All their genuine demands will be solved by holding discussions with the union leaders by the coming TDP regime, he said and stated that under the able leadership of TDP supremo, Chandrababu Naidu, the coming democratic government will see to it that Anganwadis will not come onto the roads for their demands.

When the villagers of Kothuru complained to Mr Lokesh that the YSRCP Government is completely ignoring their problems and is not providing even basic facilities like drinking water and roads, Lokesh said that Mr Jagan does not like the poor. Except openly claiming ‘my SCs and my STs’, he never tried to solve their problems, Lokesh said and assured them that once the TDP-Jana Sena is into power in the coming elections all their issues will be solved immediately.

The villagers of Kattupalem and Somalingapalem met Lokesh at Yelamanchili ‘Y’ Junction and told him that even basic amenities like street-lights, roads and drainage are not provided to them by this Government. Though Rs 120 cr was sanctioned by the TDP regime, the present Government has not spent even a single pie to solve these issues, they said.

Jagan has totally destabilised the local bodies, Lokesh said, adding that this Government has even looted the funds released by the Centre for the local bodies. “We will certainly strengthen these local bodies once we are back in power and all the works taken up by the earlier TDP government will be completed,” Lokesh told the villagers.

Jagan is brand-ambassador for taking ‘U’ turn, says Lokesh

Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, is the brand-ambassador for taking ‘U’ turn and he has mastered the art of non-fulfilment of promises, said TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Wednesday.

In a memorandum submitted to Mr Lokesh during his ongoing Yuva Galam pada yatra, the Etikoppaka Sugar Factory workers said that the payment of their salaries for the past 16 months has been pending. During his pada yatra on August 22, 2018, Jagan promised them that he would save the sugar factory and also come to their rescue but after coming to power he is totally neglecting the workers, they informed Lokesh.

Briefing about the background of the sugar factory, the workers told Lokesh that the unit at Etikoppaka was the first sugar factory in Asia launched under the cooperative sector. The company that began with 20 employees raised to the level of providing employment to 5,600 persons by 2004 but after that the sugar production started falling for various reasons.

Recalling that when Chandrababu Naidu was the chief minister he released Rs 27 cr as assistance for the factory but after the chairman system has come into effect the management is showing only losses but not profits. This is the reason they have not been paid their salaries for the past 16 months, they told Lokesh.

Responding to their problems, the TDP national general secretary said that Jagan who promised to reopen all the closed sugar factories after he came to power did not make any attempt to reopen even a single factory. He is thus a master in taking ‘U’ turn, Lokesh said and promised them that immediately after the TDP forms the coming government all the dues of the employees will be cleared. “I am assuring you all that the factory will certainly get the past glory once the TDP is in power again,” Lokesh said.

At Saripallipalem of Payakaraopeta Assembly segment, when the fishermen community said that the local officials are not issuing death certificates to those who die during fishing in the sea and also no compensation is being paid to them for the loss of boats in natural disasters, Lokesh said that it is the TDP that always strived for their welfare. The YSRCP is doing great injustice to the fishermen community, he said and pointed out that Rs 788.38 cr was released during the TDP regime for the welfare of fishermen. Lokesh said that soon after the TDP is back in power in the coming elections all their issues will be resolved on a war-footing basis.

Lokesh also promised the coir industry workers to take up their problems by the coming TDP government and the coir industry will be given recognition as a cottage industry. Also, steps will be taken to give concessions in power charges, he told coir industry workers when they met him at Konavaipalem.

In an interaction with representatives of the Backward Classes (BCs) at Penugollu, Lokesh said Jagan, who termed the BCs as his backbone, has hit the community in the back after becoming the Chief Minister. Stating that the TDP is known for working for the welfare of the BCs, Lokesh said it is only the TDP that can do justice to the community.

When the community representatives brought to his notice various problems that they are facing, Lokesh said that the TDP has created reservations for them in local bodies and it is Chandrababu as the chief minister of the State implemented the Aadarana scheme for their welfare. Several focal postings are given for BCs by the TDP while Jagan has cheated the community by saying ‘my BCs and my SCs’, he remarked.

The Naval Base displaced of Bangarammapalem and Kapula Vathada of S Rayavaram mandal wanted their problems to be solve by the next TDP government, Lokesh promised them that immediately after the TDP forms the coming government talks will be held with Navy to see to it that fishermen will not face any difficulties. All the basic facilities will be provided to them, including setting up a primary health centre and proper compensation will be paid for the displaced.

Condition of roads completely deteriorated after Jagan became CM, says Lokesh

The condition of the roads in the State has become totally deteriorated after Jagan Mohan Reddy has become the Chief Minister, said TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Monday.

Though the Chief Minister has been calling for tenders for understanding repairs to the roads no contractor is coming forward to take up the works due to the poor economic condition of the State, Lokesh told the locals of Payakaraopet when they brought to his notice during his Yuva Galam pada yatra the damaged condition of the roads in their area.

They informed Lokesh that Rs 8 cr was sanctioned for roads repair and also launched the repair works during the TDP regime but after the YSRCP came to power in 2019 these works are totally stopped.

Even the drainage condition in the town is also very poor due to which the locals are facing various problems, they informed Lokesh. Expressing concern over the bad condition of the roads and the drainage system, Lokesh promised them that immediately after the TDP forms the coming government, all the basic facilities will be provided in Payakaraopet area besides resolving all the issues that brought to his notice.

The residents of Indira Nagar in Payakaraopet also told Lokesh that they are facing various problems, including crossing of the railway track. They made an appeal to Lokesh to build a flyover on the railway track after the TDP forms the government.

Observing that the Jagan Mohan Reddy Government has completely destabilised the civic bodies, Lokesh promised to solve their problems once the TDP is back in power.

As Lokesh’s Yuva Galam pada yatra entered Visakhapatnam district, the senior party leaders, Pattipati Pulla Rao, KS Jawahar, Nimmakayala China Rajappa and others gave a warm reception to him. Massive gathering of people on either side of the road are seen to have a glimpse of Lokesh.

Lokesh’s Yuva Galam crosses 3,000 km milestone

The Yuva Galam pada yatra of TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, crossed the record 3,000 km milestone at Yanamala Guest House and declared open a pylon marking the historic incident.

Nara Brahmani, wife of Lokesh, Devansh, the son of the couple, Nandamuri Mokshkat, the brother-in-law of Lokesh and others were present on this historic occasion. It is almost a sea of humanity to greet Lokesh as he crossed the 3,000 km milestone of his pada yatra and they expressed solidarity with the TDP national general secretary.

On this occasion, Lokesh promised to reopen the Anna Canteens immediately after the party is back in power in the coming elections. At the Padmanabha Function Hall, some RMP doctors representatives met Lokesh and submitted a memorandum to him.

They complained to him that the GO number 465, released by the TDP regime in 2017 recognising the RMP doctors as paramedics is not implemented by the YSRCP Government. The RMP doctors made an appeal to Lokesh that once the TDP forms the coming government to implement the GO and accord para-medics status to them.

Responding to their appeal, Lokesh said that the YSRCP Government has totally destabilised the health sector and it is pathetic that the RMP doctors who are extending social service are totally neglected. Once the TDP is back in power, a medical board will be constituted to resolve their problems, Lokesh said.

Pressing empty buttons Jagan totally deserted administration, says Lokesh

Pressing empty buttons, Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, has totally abandoned the administration, remarked TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Saturday.

In a statement released from his campsite before beginning his Yuva Galam pada yatra for the 217th day on Saturday, Lokesh said that Jagan totally neglected the irrigation projects as he is busy looting the State. Leave alone constructing new irrigation projects, the Chief Minister did not bother about the management of the existing ones, Lokesh remarked.

The condition of the administration is so bad that the second gate of the Gundlakamma project got damaged since the Government has not released funds even to apply grease to it while the third gate of the project was washed away, Lokesh noted. This resulted in the wastage of water on a massive scale, he said in the statement.

Lokesh asked if there is any need for a red carpet for a leader who visits the cyclone-hit areas to meet the farmers and what is the necessity for barricades when the Chief Minister visits the farmers who suffered huge loss due to the cyclone. This is called insanity Jagan, he said.

When the hatcheries owners wanted urgent measures to save their hatcheries from the industries to be built in the SEZ area and also raised the problems that they are facing, Lokesh regretted that because of the ‘J’ tax in the Jagan Mohan Reddy Government aquaculture is pushed into a crisis. During the TDP regime aquaculture in the State was taken to the top level in the country, he said, adding that now the farmers are in total debts as the prices of seed, feed and power charges are skyrocketing.

Immediately after the TDP is back in power special measures will be initiated to save the aqua farmers and hatcheries, Lokesh said. Power will be supplied to them at Rs 1.50 per unit, he said and promised to take measures to create a suitable atmosphere for hatcheries.

Lokesh’s pada yatra entered the Tuni Assembly segment and at the GMR Hospital centre he interacted with fishermen community representatives. They informed Lokesh that facilities like financial assistance during the haunting break and the compensation to those who die during haunting which were available during the TDP regime are now withdrawn. Also boats, nets and other material which was supplied on hgh subsidy when the TDP was in power also are totally stopped, they told Lokesh.

Observing that fishermen strive hard and always remember those who extend any kind of help to them, Lokesh said Andhra Pradesh was quite popular for fishing when Chandrababu Naidu was the chief minister, now the State turned to finish Andhra Pradesh. Recalling that Rs 800 cr assistance was extended to the fishermen in the shape of subsidy during the TDP regime, Lokesh promised to revive all the benefits that were available in the past.
