Chandrababu is a visionary while Jagan is a prisoner, says Lokesh

0

TDP supremo and former chief minister, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, is a visionary while Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, is a prisoner, commented TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Sunday.

Addressing the ongoing Mahanadu on the second and concluding day on Sunday, Lokesh termed Chandrababu Naidu as a hero while Jagan as a zero. Before the last Assembly elections Jagan acted as a soft leader but after coming to power he became a psycho and this is the reason as to why he is named as psycho Jagan, remarked Lokesh.

Recalling the services rendered by late NT Rama Rao as the chief minister of the State, Lokesh said that it was NT Rama Rao who introduced the schemes like Rs 2 a kg rice, pucca houses, janata clothes, mid-day meal and several other such schemes to the country. While NTR, who floated the Telugu Desam Party has history, Chandrababu Naidu has the calibre to run the State, he remarked.

It is Naidu who has created history by building the Hitech City in Hyderabad and clearly defined what is development by encouraging several companies to set up their units in the State like Kia Motors, HCL and TCL, Lokesh observed. Chandrababu introduced several welfare schemes like Chandranna Bheema, Pelli Kanuka, loan waiver for farmers, Pasupu Kunkuma and many such schemes besides introducing Anna Canteens to provide food to the poor, he added.

Lokesh said that Chandrababu means development while Jagan means destruction. Jagan, who came to power by appealing to the people to give him a chance has become the richest Chief Minister in the country, he said.

While Chandrababu has built pucca TIDCO houses Jagan washed off his hands by distributing a cent land each for the poor, Lokesh said, adding that it is the TDP that has spent Rs 150 cr during its regime for the welfare of the party cadre. “If any party worker is in trouble I am here to come to the rescue of such workers and I will not leave those who are creating troubles to the TDP cadre,” Lokesh maintained.

Stating that the time has come to bury the Raja Reddy constitution, Lokesh gave a call that ‘psycho should go and cycle should be back’. The TDP national general secretary observed that late NT Rama Rao will remain as a true legend even for one thousand years.

0

The coming TDP government will certainly encourage mining without any political interference and justice will be done to those who are now affected with mining business, said Nara Lokesh, TDP general secretary, on Sunday.

Observing that the ruling YSRCP is ensuring that no other mining company except those owned by Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, should survive in the State, Lokesh said that soon after the TDP forms the next government ‘cost of doing business’ and an atmosphere will be created wherein the businessmen need not invest much in their trades.

“Also, I am assuring you all that once the TDP is back in power all the mines that the YSRCP leaders have grabbed from innocent persons will be handed over back to the original owners,” Lokesh told those who are into mining business and the mining workers in an interaction with them at the Amudalametta campsite of Banaganapalli Assembly segment in Nandyal district during his Yuva Galam pada yatra.

‘”Just wait for one year and the TDP is going to come back to power. We will certainly come to the rescue of those who are into mining and the mining workers,” Lokesh observed. Maintaining that he is aware of all the problems being faced by the mining businessmen and the workers, the TDP general secretary said that because of the faulty policies adopted by the Jagan Government several mining workers lost employment.

“I am promising you all that once the TDP forms the coming government all the irrelevant GOs will be repealed and the old mining policy will be introduced again,” he said.

Farmers from Soudaraginne village met Lokesh and complained that they are not getting any subsidies and that the prices of fertilisers and pesticides have gone up due to which they are finding agriculture a hard task.

Lokesh completes 100 days of Padayatra, Naidu greets son

TDP general secretary and former minister Nara Lokesh completed his 100 days of Yuva Galam padayatra on Sunday. He also completed 1269 kilometres of marathon walk by the day.

Party chief Chandrababu Naidu congratulated Lokesh on completing the first 100 days of the padayatra. Naidu tweeted on his twitter handle saying “My best wishes to Nara Lokesh on completing 100 days of Yuvagalam. I am sure the time he spent on the road would have brought him closure to see and feel the real problems of people. Many more miles to go.”

Earlier on Sunday, speaking on the occasion, Lokesh said that “The coming TDP government will accord top priority to forest protection and separate funds will be allocated for this purpose. We will certainly be partners on the ‘Save the Tiger’ campaign.”

As Lokesh’s pada yatra, Yuva Galam, entered the Velugodu forest area, the representatives of the ‘Save the Tiger’ campaign and the Assistant Director of the India Wildlife Conservation Society, met him and discussed the steps to be taken for the protection of tigers in the forest region. Thanking Lokesh for becoming a partner in the ‘Save the Tiger’ campaign, they brought to his notice the steps initiated by other States to develop tiger ecotourism circuit and to protect tigers.

Stressing the need to protect forests, tigers and other wild animals, Lokesh said the coming TDP government will certainly encourage eco-tourism. “I am personally interested in this as I know how other countries like Singapore are focussing on eco-tourism,” he added. The coming TDP government will certainly work towards giving better living standards for the people of the State, Lokesh noted.

Observing that the Jagan Mohan Reddy Government is looting the State, Lokesh said that the sand mafia is ruling the roost now. “During Chandrababu Naidu regime several developmental works were taken up following which the construction workers were busy. Now there is no work for all of you due to which you are struggling to earn your livelihood,” he remarked and assured them that once the TDP forms the next government all the necessary steps will be taken to provide full employment to them.

2024 polls will be a war between poor and millionaire Jagan, says Lokesh Agle

0

The Assembly elections to be held in 2024 will be a war between the crorepati and Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, and the poor who are struggling hard to fill their stomachs, said TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Saturday.

Addressing a massive public meeting at Atmakur of Srisailam Assembly segment during his Yuva Galam pada yatra, Lokesh asked as to how can Jagan, who has lakhs of crores worth properties, including massive buildings in Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Tadepalli, call himself as poor. So, the coming Assembly polls will be between this multi-millionaire and the poor, Lokesh remarked.

Observing that the TDP is always be the care of address welfare while the YSRCP is known for corruption, the TDP national general secretary said that NT Rama Rao, the founder of the TDP, introduced welfare to the nation when Jagan was a kid.

“Several welfare schemes like Rs 2 a kg rice, power supply at highly subsidised rates, pension for those who crosses 65 years of age, Janatha Clothes and pucca houses were introduced by the TDP,” he pointed out.

This Chief Minister on the one hand is giving a mere Rs 10 to the poor and on the other grabbing Rs 100, Lokesh said and felt that Jagan has no moral right to talk about welfare and development. Stating that he is fortunate to have his pada yatra on this sacred land of Srisailam, the TDP national leader said that Yuva Galam is praja galam (people’s voice).

It was NT Rama Rao who turned Rayalaseema into a fertile land by taking steps to supply the Krishna river water to the region, he said, adding that Jagan has done nothing to the State in these four years. “Even the GO 1 which was brought in only to create hurdles to my pada yatra has been quashed by the High Court,” he said and made it clear that getting feared is not in his biography.

Daring Jagan to come for an open debate on the welfare schemes implemented during the TDP regime and now, Lokesh stated that Minister, Karumuri Nageswara Rao, used highly objectionable language against a farmer for just making an appeal to purchase his farm products. Mr Lokesh demanded an unconditional apology from the Minister to the farmer.

Lokesh demands subsidy to Haj pilgrims

0

TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Tuesday demanded that the Haj pilgrims from Andhra Pradesh be given some subsidy.

In a letter addressed to Chief Secretary, Jawahar Reddy, and released to the media during his Yuva Galam pada yatra on Tuesday, Lokesh pointed out that the additional burden on every Haj pilgrim from Andhra Pradesh is Rs 83,000 compared to those who are on Haj yatra from Hyderabad.

“During the TDP regime, we ensured that each Haj pilgrim should have an expenditure of Rs 2.40 lakh but after the YSRCP came to power it has been increased to Rs 3,88,580 while the expenditure for each Haj pilgrim from Hyderabad is only Rs 3,05,000,” Lokesh said in the letter. This clearly indicates that each pilgrim from the State has to bear an additional burden of Rs 83,000 Lokesh said and demanded that this amount be given as subsidy for the Haj pilgrims.

The Yuva Galam pada yatra of Lokesh entered Kodumur Assembly segment and the Venkayapalli Dalits met the TDP national general secretary and complained to him that the SC sub-plan funds have been diverted and they are not getting any subsidised welfare schemes, including the vehicles.

Promising them that soon after the TDP forms the government again, stringent action will be initiated against those who filed false cases against Dalits, Lokesh said that all the welfare schemes that are discontinued by this Government will also be revived, including the Ambedkar Videsi Vidya. The Study Circles too will be relaunched, he said, adding that agricultural implements too will be provided on high subsidy.

The villagers of Nuthireddypalli informed Lokesh that the works for the roads sanctioned for the village by the earlier TDP government have not been taken up after the YSRCP came to power and the under-ground drainage system is very bad in their village. Observing that Jagan is totally neglecting rural development, Loeksh assured the villagers that all the damaged roads will be repaired after the TDP is back in power and the repairs for the drainage system too will be taken up.

Chirstian minorities properties are now under control of YSRCP leaders, says Lokesh

0

TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Saturday alleged that after Jagan Mohan Reddy had become the Chief Minister of the State, properties of Christian minorities worth thousands of crores were illegally occupied by the ruling party leaders.

Lokesh’s Yuva Galam pada yatra entered the Kurnool Assembly segment from Panyam on Saturday where he was received by local incharge, TG Bharat, the local TDP leaders and activists. At Agricultural Market Yard in Kurnool, the representatives of the Christian community met Lokesh and made several appeals, including building a community hall for holding the meetings of the pastors and other community heads.

Responding to their appeal, Lokesh felt that all the properties of the Christian community across the State are now in the hands of the ruling party leaders and even the Christian aided schools too are no exception.

These buildings of the schools in various parts of the State have been grabbed by the YSRCP leaders in the name of merger, Lokesh said and assured them that as soon as the TDP is back in government their demands will certainly be conceded.

Earlier, Lokesh came out with details on how local MLA, Rambhupal Reddy, grabbed the 10.64 acres wakf lands worth Rs 100 cr in survey no 524 and said that the MLA will have to pay a heavy price for illegally acquiring the wakf lands.

Lokesh remarked that without giving proper replies to his charges, the highly corrupt Rambhupal Reddy, is just diverting the public attention using filthy language.

The residents of Labour Colony, in a memorandum to Lokesh submitted that they do not have proper drainage system and though 600 persons applied for houses not even a single unit is allotted to them. They also said that the revised house tax has become a burden on them and that they are not getting even a ration.

Immediately after the TDP comes back to power pensions will be sanctioned for all the eligible, Lokesh told them and also promised houses for all the eligible. The sand policy also will be reviewed so that it will be available even for the common public, Lokesh told the residents.

They said that though they have approached the officials concerned several times, there is no response from them.

Observing that the TDP government had launched the Jal Jeevan Mission scheme only with an aim of supplying fresh drinking water to all households, Lokesh said that drainage and street-light facility too was provided to the rural areas. But after Jagan Mohan Reddy came to power, he totally neglected the rural areas and diverted Rs 7,880 cr meant for panchayats development. Soon after the TDP forms the government again, all these issues will be addressed on a war-footing basis, he said.

0

Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, has completely dismantled the transport sector that plays a crucial role in the economic development of the State, observed TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Saturday.

Representatives of the Heavy Vehicles Drivers and Cleaners Association of Telugu States met Lokesh at Ingalaur of Puttaparthi Assembly segment when he is on his pada yatra, Yuva Galam, and narrated their problems to him.

The representatives wanted the trip sheet system to be introduced throughout the country and the details of the goods being transported be included in it. They also wanted provident fund (PF) facilities to be introduced to all the drivers and cleaners.

Responding to the representation made by the drivers and cleaners, Lokesh said that Jagan has increased the fuel prices heavily and imposed various kinds of taxes following which seriously affected the transport sector. This resulted in the owners disposing of their heavy vehicles and turning into divers, he felt.

Lokesh promised to bring down the fuel prices immediately after the TDP formed the government and separate welfare schemes besides insurance facilities on the lines of Chandranna Bheema will be introduced for drivers and cleaners. The TDP national general secretary promised to take all possible measures for promoting the transport sector once the TDP is back into power.

Lokesh terms global summit as fake local summit

TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Sunday dubbed the recent global investors summit held in the port city of Visakhapatnam as fake local summit.

Addressing a huge public meeting at Peleru of Annamayya district during his pada yatra ‘Yuva Galam’, Lokesh said that it is really disgraceful that those who attended the summit to invest in the State have fought for gift articles.

What is more ironical is that the Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) have been signed without using any papers, Lokesh ridiculed.

Companies like Lulu, Kia, Franklin Templeton, Amara Raja and others which have launched their units in the State are chased out by Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, with his hungry for money.

As the industrialists were unable to meet the demand of ‘J’ tax, they left the State as a result of which lakhs of youth lost employment opportunities, Lokesh remarked. ”I am going to address a media conference on Monday to reveal the actual facts,” the TDP national general secretary said.

Even in Somalia, people will not fight how the so-called investors fought for food and gift items, Lokesh observed. A binami company of Jagan called Indosol of Kadapa offered to invest Rs 76,000 cr while an IT company called Sirantica, which has only 50 employees, said that it will invest Rs 8,000 cr.

Is it possible for these companies to make such huge investments, he asked. All this drama is being played only to grab valuable lands in the cities, Lokesh stated.

Jagan Reddy is taking all sections, now even the businessmen, for a ride, Lokesh said. Employees, SCs, STs, minorities, women and all other sections are being cheated by Jagan, he added.

Peleru on Sunday witness a massive gathering who visited the area only to see Lokesh. They all formed into a queue stretching over two to three km to witness the TDP national general secretary.

Jagan made teachers as security guards at liquor shops, says Lokesh

0

Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, is such an idiotic leader who forced teachers to act as security guards before liquor shops, remarked TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Sunday.

Teachers, who are in the sacred profession who design the future generations, are forced to work as security guards before liquor shops, Lokesh said, expressing deep concern over the humiliation meted out to the teaching community.

Leaders of the Andhra Pradesh Teachers Federation (APTF) met Lokesh at the Bhagyanagar campsite in Chandragiri Assembly segment and explained their series of problems. They wanted a fixed policy for transfer of teachers and payment of their salaries on the first of every month.

They informed Lokesh that since there is no security for their provident fund and the amount paid by them for insurance, the teachers wanted that the payment be made to them whenever they need funds. The teachers also wanted the facial recognition system to be withdrawn and biometric systems to be reintroduced as during the TDP regime.

Responding to their problems, Lokesh said that except the Jagan Mohan Reddy Government till now cases were not registered against the teachers who fought for their genuine demands. He promised to solve all their demands once the TDP forms the government again and also create a friendly atmosphere in which they can discharge their duties in a free and fair manner.

Expressing serious concern over the teachers drafting for duties like security guards before liquor shops, Lokesh assured them that better facilities will be provided to the community. Also both English and Telugu media will be reintroduced in all the educational institutions, he said.

Before beginning his pada yatra ‘Yuva Galam’ on Sunday, Lokesh had a special darshan of Goddess Padmavati at Tiruchanur. The fans of Lokesh welcomed him with Gaja Mala on the temple precincts.

State police behaviour is strange, feels Lokesh

1

The behaviour of the State police is somewhat strange and is changing on a day-to-day basis, felt TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh.

Interacting with the villagers of Sadasivapuram and Modugulapadu of Srikalahasti Assembly segment on Wednesday as part of his ongoing pada yatra, ‘Yuva Galam’, Lokesh said that ”the police are snatching away my mike even if I do not use it and pulling my bench.”

Lokesh felt that the duty of the police is not to cause obstructions to him but to check the rapists, murderers and gangsters. The TDP general secretary advised Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, to concentrate on resolving the problems of the common man.

”The students are not getting fee reimbursement and the youth is struggling to get employment. Instead of creating problems for me, concentrate on such issues,” Lokesh told Jagan.

Making it clear that nobody can stifle his voice gifted by the great personality, N T Rama Rao, the TDP general secretary said that he is not even scared of the atrocities of the Chief Minister. Lokesh said that the only solution for the State to progress and to resolve the problems of all sections is that TDP supremo, Chandrababu Naidu, should become the chief minister again.

Later, Lokesh had a meeting with the farmers of Madi Bala and Rajula Kandriga. Terming Jagan Mohan Reddy as a holiday Chief minister, he pointed out that during the YSRCP rule there are crop holidays, power holiday and aqua holiday.

Promising the farmers to interlink the employment guarantee scheme with agriculture soon after the TDP assumes power, Lokesh said that the TDP will soon announce its action plan to resolve the problems being faced by the farmers.

Observing that Jagan has cheated the entire farming community, Lokesh said that the State Government has imposed an additional burden on the farmers.

After YSRCP came to power, AP has created a record of sorts like the State stood on top in debts, and farmers suicides and less MRP, Lokesh felt. Leave alone launching new factories, Jagan is chasing out the existing units resulting in the youth losing employment, he added.

TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Tuesday promised to establish Islamic bank once the party forms the government again.

After a two-day gap, Lokesh began his pada yatra ‘Yuva Galam’ on Tuesday and he interacted with the representatives of the Muslim community at Sri Kalahasthi of Tirupati district where he recalled the formation of the Minorities Corporation by NT Rama Rao, the founder of the TDP.

”Despite the change in the government for the past several years, the corporation was continued but after Jagan Mohan Reddy became the Chief Minister of the State he discontinued it,” Lokesh said.

He assured the Minority community to revive the corporation once the TDP is back in power. Pointing out that Jagan, during his pada yatra promised to set up Islamic bank but he did not keep his word.

”I am promising you that once the TDP forms the government again this Islamic bank will be established,” he said. This Chief Minister discontinued all the welfare schemes launched by Chandrababu Naidu during the TDP regime, Lokesh said and promised to revive all the schemes.

As the ‘Yuva Galam’ reached 300 km at Thondamanupuram panchayat in Srikalahasti Assembly segment, Lokesh assured the villagers to provide safe drinking water within 100 days of coming back to power.

Later, at Thindamanadu village, the TDP national general secretary said that the cheap liquor is now working as pesticide and the farmers instead of the pesticides can use the cheap liquor. He also interacted with women who came to collect their gas cylinders. He said that the subsidy on gas cylinders is not being paid to the consumers.

He also promised to do justice to communities like Gandla, Telikula and Deva Telikula once the TDP is back into the government.

During his pada yatra, Lokesh met the groundnut farmers who narrated their problems to him. A farmer, Venkat Reddy, said that for the past three years they have been incurring heavy losses in agriculture and the State Government is not coming to their rescue.

Another farmer told Lokesh that due to spurious seeds and fertilisers the farming community in the district has been facing several problems. They also said that there is no MSP for the farm products due to which they are incurring huge losses in agriculture.

Later addressing the villagers, Lokesh made it clear that though he strongly opposed the GO no 1 but he will always respect the law. ”Though we are peacefully holding the meetings, the State Government is unnecessarily creating problems for our programmes,” he added.

Lokesh made it clear that he will not discontinue his pada yatra though the State Government is making every effort to create hurdles to him. He also promised to take all possible measures to come to the rescue of all communities once the TDP forms the government.

1

TDP general secretary and former minister Nara Lokesh, who entered the Nagari Assembly constituency on Monday, called local MLA and Minister for Tourism, R K Roja, as “Jabardast Aunt”. Roja was the judge for the popular TV show, Jabardast for several years and hence Lokesh called her Jabardast Aunt.

Addressing a meeting as part of his Yuvagalam Padayatra, Lokesh accused the minister of encouraging corruption in the constituency. He said that the minister was encouraging smuggling of sand and gravel to the neighbouring Tamil Nadu state.

The former minister also alleged that Roja had appointed her representatives in every mandal to collect bribes and other unlawful earnings on a daily basis. He said that the people of Nagari fell in the trap of Roja for the two consecutive elections and did not vote for the TDP. However, this time, the people are ready to show the door to Roja in the next election, Lokesh said.

Lokesh also alleged that chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy had turned blind eye to the problems of the people. He alleged that Jagan had gone back on every promise and had betrayed the people after winning the election.

The TDP leader said that Jagan was also not coming out of his Tadepalli palace due to fear of facing the people. He said that Jagan is now reaching out to the people through the mobile phone and requesting people to support him again in the next election.

Calling Jagan as psycho, Lokesh alleged that Jagan had appointed one psycho for every district. He said Minister Peddireddy Ramchandra Reddy had become a psycho for Chittoor district who was harassing the people.

Lokesh appealed to the people of Nagari constituency to defeat Jabardast Aunt in the coming election and ensure that TDP formed the government in the state.

The sand and gravel mafia is ruling the roost in the State and the Jagan Mohan Reddy Government is only interested in collecting taxes in various ways while the industrial sector is impacted the most with the faulty policies of the ruling dispensation, observed general secretary of the TDP, Nara Lokesh on Monday.

During the ongoing pada yatra ‘Yuva Galam’, the Communist Party of India (CPI) Nagari Assembly segment incharge, Kodandaiah, met Lokesh at China Raja Kuppam and explained to him that the locals are suffering a lot due to the sand and gravel mafia. Also, the lands of the SCs and STs are being forcibly acquired by the Andhra Pradesh Industrial and Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC) in the name of development, the CPI leader told Lokesh.

Kodandaiah wanted Lokesh to take the issues of establishing a university and a teaching hospital at Chittor. He also made an appeal to the TDP general secretary to fight for setting up industries in the district to provide employment to the local youth.

Responding to the CPI leader’s request, Lokesh said that he will make every effort to put an end to the sand and gravel mafia when the TDP forms the government. Except chasing the industries out of the State, Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, does not have even basic knowledge about industrialisation, the TDP leader said that the problems of the Nagari Assembly segment will be resolved when the TDP forms the government again.

Earlier, at the campsite near the Sri Venkateswara Perumal College of Engineering, Lokesh had selfies with the locals. He also addressed the locals on various issues and promised to initiate necessary measures to resolve their problems once the TDP is back in power.

Lokesh promises to bring down prices after TDP forms govt

0

TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Sunday expressed confidence that the TDP is winning the coming polls to form the government again and will certainly bring down the prices of diesel and petrol.

Lokesh, who was on his pada yatra ‘Yuva Galam’, on Sunday just greeted an auto driver at TT Kandriga village in Gangadhara Nellore Assembly segment and asked how much is the diesel for which the auto driver replied that it is Rs 95.39 per litre.

“How come you are getting it for a lesser price,” Lokesh asked and the auto driver made it clear that he fills the fuel to his auto in Tamil Nadu since he lives in the border area.

“It is certain that the TDP is going to come to power again and the taxes on fuel will be reduced to control the prices and there will be no need for you to cross the State border to fill fuel to your vehicle,” Lokesh told him.

Later, at Eedigapalle, the Gouda community representatives met Lokesh and submitted a memorandum to him explaining the problems they were facing. Responding to them, Lokesh promised all the steps to resolve their issues once the TDP is back in power and his party is committed to the welfare of the toddy-tapper community.

Lokesh also promised to take measures for construction of roads and also extend financial assistance and subsidies to them through the BC Welfare Corporation. “Our sole aim is that this psycho should go and cycle should come back,” Lokesh said.

Addressing the locals at KM Puram of Karvetinagaram of Gangadhara Nellore segment on their request, Mr Lokesh made it clear that “my mike may be grabbed from me but my voice can not be choked. The people are my strength. I always raise my voice against this atrocious rule,” he said.

Pointing out that several leaders undertook pada yatra earlier in the State, Lokesh asked why problems were being created only for him when he began his pada yatra. “My campaign vehicle and sound system have been seized while my mike was grabbed from me by the police. But the police can not choke my voice and I will raise my tone even if there is no mike,” he made it clear.

Andhra youth migrating to other states for jobs: Lokesh

0

Youth from Andhra Pradesh are migrating to various parts of the country in search of employment opportunities as there are no jobs in the state, TDP national General Secretary Nara Lokesh said on Sunday.

As part of his ongoing padayatra ‘Yuva Galam’, Lokesh, the son of TDP chief and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, had a meeting with the local youth at Kanipakam in Puthalapattu Assembly segment in Chittoor district.

The youth informed Lokesh that they are migrating to other states in search of some employment and wanted him to initiate immediate steps for establishing companies in the state soon after coming back to power, thus saving the lives of the youth. “The state government should not threaten the companies and only then the investors will set up their units in the state,” a youth said.

The youth from Rayalaseema lost employment opportunities as the Amara Raja Batteries shifted its unit to Telangana. They told the TDP leader that they pursued their studies by raising loans and now there is no employment.

Lokesh assured the youth that all the companies that shifted their units from the state will be invited back once the TDP is again into the government and the youth will be provided employment opportunities.

Responding to the complaint that the RTC fares are revised following which there is a lot of financial burden on them, Lokesh promised to withdraw once the TDP is back in the government.

The TDP national General Secretary also demanded that the age limit be extended for government jobs since the employment notifications are issued very late.

“Why is the job calendar not released on January 1 as promised,” Lokesh asked and said that over 2.30 lakh posts have been lying vacant for the past four years.

“Chief Minister Mr Jagan (Mohan Reddy) who had said that he would make Delhi tremble if the voters from the State give him 25 MPs, is now getting shivers on seeing Delhi,” Lokesh said in a sarcastic manner.
