TDP's Mahanadu 2025 to focus on NDA government's first-year report and Rayalaseema development
Telugu Desam Party (TD) has finalized 14 key resolutions to be discussed at its annual conclave — Mahaanadu 2025 — scheduled to be held from May 27 to 29 in Kadapa district. The three-day event will begin by setting a stage for discussions on party ideology, strategies and organization on the first day.
The second day of Mahaanadu will feature a comprehensive review of the NDA government's achievements, and welfare initiatives, according to a statement from TDP headquarters on Friday (May 23). The party has prepared 14 draft resolutions addressing key areas of governance and development.
These include achievements of the NDA government in last one year, assessments of irrigation initiatives such as river interlinking and the Godavari-Banakacharla, construction of Amaravati and decentralized development, reforms in education, women and youth empowerment, agriculture modernization, strengthening law and order, TDP national president and Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu's vision of welfare and inclusive governance, infrastructure growth with Central support, and Zero Poverty-P4 model. The resolutions will also highlight the NDA's approach to inclusive welfare, environmental protection, power sector achievements, and Vision Andhra@2047.
The agenda will also feature four joint resolutions, pertaining to both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana States, including tributes to NTR's legacy, recognition of Chandrababu Naidu's contributions, remembrance of martyred party cadre, and a reaffirmation of the party's commitment to its workers.
A special session on Rayalaseema development is planned, focusing on the region's irrigation progress and industrial investments. Projects such as HNSS, Galeru-Nagari, Telugu Ganga, and the Muchumarri lift scheme will be discussed alongside industrial hubs like Kopparthi, Orvakal, and KIA Motors. The session will underline employment creation through industry and horticulture expansion.
Public participation is also a key component of this year's Mahaanadu. The party plans to gather citizen feedback on government welfare and development schemes. Key initiatives such as hike in pension, the Deepam 2 LPG scheme, Anna Canteens, industrial investments, and teacher recruitment are expected to be part of the public review process.
The opening day will focus on the party's internal structure, membership expansion, and long-term planning. Mahanadu 2025 is being positioned as both a review of past performance and a roadmap-setting forum for future governance in Andhra Pradesh.
My TDP App
Mr. Chandrababu Naidu will launch 'My TDP App', a digital connect between party and the cadre, which would recognise dedicated workers, helps in public outreach and organizational coordination.
On the other hand, the party leaders will stress on continuity in governance for long time to achieve sustainable development and welfare of the public.

MyVoice: Views of our readers 7th June 2025
'Professionalism' piece reads well The recent article on the misdefinition of professionalism in India resonated deeply. It's high time we stop 'paying lip service' to professionalism and focus on substance over style. As the saying goes, 'It's not just about wearing the crown, but about being the king.' We need to redefine professionalism, emphasizing integrity, accountability, and effective communication. Let's not 'judge a book by its cover' or confuse employment with professionalism. Instead, let's focus on building a culture of excellence, where 'actions speak louder than words.' Sridevi Tejaswani K, Secunderabad Winning the perception war Apropos the edit 'Gen. Chauhan's candour..' as a military force Pakistan is no match for India. However in these times of the social media, building perceptions is another kind of war and sadly at least in the matter of perceptions; India is not a clear winner. Much will depend on how successful the Indian delegates have been in getting other nations around the Indian response to the Pahalgam killings. The CDS would have been better advised to have the press conference on damage to the Indian aircraft in India rather than Singapore. The Indian government was trying hard to cover up the losses but in the present times of instant communication it is hard to hide anything. In a war, there will always be losses and it is nothing to be ashamed of. Anthony Henriques, Mumbai Why have another tree plantation drama? The NDA-government led by TDP organised 'Neeru-Chettu' programme in AP during 2014-19 and 'made' the State one of most greenest in the country!?! Why do we need another tree plantation programme in the name of Vana Mahostavam, that too five crore plants in one year? Already, we the people of AP are enjoying (sic) the green cover 'provided' by CBN & Co! Another 5 cr plants means the landscape will be occupied by the trees leaving less space for us poor souls to live on in AP! The 'Neeru-Chettu' was a big scam during 2014-19 and now CBN is at it again to loot the exchequer yet again, because of the inherent lacunae in the programme itself! The system is not equipped to perfectly monitor the plantation programme, start to finish, i.e. from A to Z. As such pilferage or pillage is writ large on the face of this programme leading to a cursory implementation, that fails at every level. A totally corrupt system in AP would only make it worse! CBN & Co should concentrate more on creation of wealth and employment by improving infrastructure and attracting 'real' not 'brokered' investors for establishing industries for that missing overall development of the State. Govardhana Myneedu, Vijayawada Maintain transparency on Covid status As the saying goes, 'Prevention is better than cure.' With the surge in Covid cases, it's essential to 'nip the problem in the bud' by ensuring transparent reporting and setting up effective testing protocols. While the government has a robust system in place, the underreporting of cases and fatalities is a cause for concern. Let's 'get our ducks in a row' and prioritize accurate data collection to inform policy interventions. By doing so, we can 'stem the tide' of this pandemic and be better prepared for future health emergencies. Raju Kolluru, Kakinada Ram Mandir gains more popularity The consecration ceremony of Raja Ram and other deities at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya is welcoming. The auspicious ceremony at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple, where new deities idols had been established at the first floor, is going to be new centre of attraction for the devotees as well as the tourist. So far, after its formulation, Ram Temple is already the cynosure among the devotees. The grandeur temple complex, the ritual of Lord Ram idols Surya tilak and the auspicious ambience attracts the visitor to dip in the holy serenity of the divine powers. Meanwhile the installation of new idols is welcoming in the Ram temple complex. Kirti Wadhawan, Kanpur

Patriotism vs posturing: The real battle for Bihar has begun
Operation Sindoor has upended Bihar's political terrain, transforming a routine electoral fight into a high-stakes clash between unapologetic patriotism and political posturing. Prime Minister Modi's fiery rhetoric and nationalistic messaging have struck a deep chord in a state where voters rever military might and national pride. As Nitish Kumar fades and Chirag Paswan eyes the future, the NDA's internal unity remains its biggest challenge—and greatest opportunity. The INDIA bloc, still fumbling with mixed messages and confused alliances, risks alienating key constituencies, especially in rural and border areas. With women voters, youth, and even sections of Muslims responding to nationalism, old caste calculations are no longer enough. Populist promises from Tejaswi Yadav may grab headlines, but it is the emotion unleashed by Sindoor that could sway ballots. The 2025 Bihar election isn't just about power—it's a referendum on identity, vision, and the nation's soul Operation Sindoor has redrawn the political battlefield of Bihar. What was once a predictable clash of caste-based alliances is now being recast as a confrontation between nationalism and perceived political opportunism. The upcoming assembly elections are no longer just about governance—they're about identity, pride, and clarity of purpose. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Chun Chun ke Marenge' declaration from Bihar and his recent references to how the Sindoor of Indian women turned into a missile against Pakistan have reignited patriotic fervour. For the NDA, this surge of nationalism is a potential game-changer. In a state where voters respond powerfully to military heroism and national security, the INDIA bloc's hesitation, silence, or criticism of Operation Sindoor may be seen as a betrayal, especially in rural and semi-urban constituencies. But sentiment alone won't win an election. The NDA still has a complicated internal equation to manage. The BJP's prospects depend significantly on maintaining unity and clarity of leadership. Nitish Kumar, once a towering figure in Bihar's politics, now finds himself on the back foot. His popularity has dropped to around 18%, his public appearances are rare, and his gaffes have only fuelled speculation about his fitness to continue. The opposition mocks him as the 'Bimar CM of a BIMARU state.' This vacuum creates an opportunity for a new generation of leadership. Bihar's youth, increasingly politically aware and aspirational, particularly those eyeing defence and government jobs, are inclined towards parties with a strong nationalistic and development-oriented image. This makes the BJP's potential promotion of Chirag Paswan a tantalising prospect. Paswan has declared his intent to shift focus from national to state politics, hinting at a possible leadership transition post-election. But declaring a CM face now could create tensions with Nitish's JD(U), so BJP may play the waiting game. Meanwhile, Tejashwi Yadav of the RJD, the INDIA bloc's youth mascot, is gearing up with populist promises like the Mai Bahini Maan Yojana (Rs 2500 monthly to women), subsidised LPG, and free electricity. Whether these freebies can match the emotional and nationalistic connect forged by Operation Sindoor remains to be seen. Over the last two decades, women voters have emerged as a decisive force in Bihar politics. Since 2010, their turnout has consistently outstripped that of men. Recognising this, the NDA has doubled down on gender-targeted welfare and infrastructure. Mahila Haats, pink toilets, women-only buses, subsidies for e-rickshaws, rental assistance for female cops, and reservations in BSRTC jobs are ongoing schemes. Educational schemes like free cycles, uniforms, and reserved seats in medical and engineering colleges further aim to consolidate the female vote bank. Still, Tejaswi's targeted cash handouts could lure some segments of this electorate, particularly in economically vulnerable zones. The battle for women's votes may end up being the election's hidden decider. Bihar's political DNA has long been dominated by caste arithmetic. Traditionally, JD(U) leaned on Kurmi-Koeri (upper backward classes) support, RJD on Yadav-Muslim votes, and BJP on upper castes and urban voters. But these boundaries are blurring. Operation Sindoor, and the strong reaction it evoked across demographics, may shift traditional loyalties. Even Yadav and Pasmanda (deprived and downtrodden) Muslim voters in border areas may reconsider their stance if they perceive the INDIA bloc's stance as undermining national pride. Added to that a deeper fatigue is also settling in among sections of the Muslim electorate, weary of being used as mere vote banks. Modi's push to reach out to Pasmanda Muslims and the nationalist tone of Operation Sindoor could further erode the INDIA bloc's Muslim consolidation. Several smaller but significant players are poised to split votes and inject volatility into the election. AIMIM, led by Asaduddin Owaisi, is riding a wave of popularity among young Muslims following his fiery support for Operation Sindoor and denunciation of Pakistan's misadventures. While the party has sent a lukewarm proposal to RJD for alliance, insiders see this as more about optics than intent. From its current tally of five seats, AIMIM could double its count—largely at the INDIA bloc's expense. Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraj, contesting all 243 seats, is running a campaign unlike any other. He doesn't ask for votes; instead, he offers solutions. 'Even I might betray you if I win—so don't believe anyone blindly,' he tells voters. His emphasis on governance and local problem-solving may not win him power, but it may cut into the anti-incumbency vote, hurting INDIA bloc more than the NDA. Left parties continue to fade into irrelevance, with their vote share shrinking rapidly. Bihar is not a monolith. Regional nuances will heavily influence the outcome: North Bihar, especially Seemanchal and Mithila, is fluid and unpredictable, with AIMIM, RJD, and BJP all vying for dominance. Central Bihar could become the swing zone. If the NDA remains united, it holds the edge. Border districts—affected most by Pakistan's misadventures—may swing towards the NDA due to patriotic sentiment and the emotional aftershocks of Operation Sindoor. Early speculation suggests the NDA could bag between 125 and 150 seats in the 243-member Assembly. The INDIA bloc may secure around 70, while the remainder would be split among AIMIM, Jan Suraj, independents, and possibly the Left. A party or alliance needs 122 seats for a simple majority. Should the NDA cross the threshold comfortably, the post-poll narrative could shift to leadership. Chirag Paswan, youthful and ambitious, is a natural contender. With Nitish Kumar fading, the BJP could spring a surprise, especially if it helps maintain unity within the alliance while projecting a fresh face for Bihar's future. Rahul Gandhi has made Bihar a key focus, visiting the state more than any other in recent months. But his continued jibes against the army and mocking tone toward the Prime Minister have cost him dearly in the hyper-nationalist mood post-Sindoor. The Congress, far from rejuvenated, is dragging the INDIA bloc into confusion and controversy. His rhetoric—blaming Modi for surrendering to Trump, downplaying Operation Sindoor as a 'chutput war,' and alleging massive Indian casualties—risks alienating patriotic voters and playing directly into the BJP's hands. Poll analysts estimate that around 35 per cent of Bihar's electorate is committedly anti-BJP. This gives the INDIA bloc a base—but not an edge. With Modi's personal popularity, the emotional impact of Operation Sindoor, a robust women-centric agenda, and a fragmented opposition, the NDA holds a visible advantage. But Bihar is a land of last-minute swings and layered loyalties. The real battle will be decided by how effectively the NDA manages its internal dynamics, and how smartly the INDIA bloc reinvents its narrative—if at all. In 2025, Bihar won't just vote for governance. It will vote for identity, vision, and direction. Operation Sindoor didn't just change military dynamics—it may well have changed the political future of one of India's most complex states. (The author is former Chief Editor of The Hans India)
