All set for TDP's first Mahanadu in Kadapa from May 27
The stage is set for the commencement of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP)'s first-ever Mahanadu, the annual conclave,here on May 27 (Tuesday). Kadapa has been the citadel of the family of former CM Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy for decades but it has been broken by the NDA partners — TDP, Jana Sena Party and BJP — in the 2024 general elections. In fact, the TDP-led alliance had achieved a stunning victory not only in Kadapa district but throughout the Rayalaseema region infamous for its backwardness and faction violence. Starting Tuesday, the TDP will throw light on its plans for the development of Andhra Pradesh (A.P.) for the next four years, while harping on the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) misrule, touching on a wide range of its policies that purportedly pushed the State backward in various spheres. Reports On Day One of the mega event, being conducted near C.K. Dinne village near the district headquarters, tributes will be paid to the TDP founder and former CM N.T. Rama Rao. The party's general secretary and treasurer will submit their reports and it will be followed by a speech by TDP State president and Gajuwaka MLA Palla Srinivasa. Chief Minister and party national President N. Chandrababu Naidu's inaugural address will follow. Mr. Naidu will kick off discussions on the organisational structure and its future plans, in addition to the implementation of the party's core principles. During the day, leaders will move a six-formula resolution and propose certain amendments to the rules and regulations of the party. Most importantly, the leaders will notify the election of the party's national President (which is going to be a mere formality) at 1 p.m. The second day will feature detailed deliberations on development and welfare programs taken up by the TDP-led NDA government. A photo exhibition and blood donation camps are being conducted as part of the event. The TDP's six-formula resolution includes a policy to shape aspiring and eligible activists into leaders, Yuva Galam (welfare of the youth, investments, employment opportunities, decentralisation of development, development of backward areas, and WhatsApp Governance), supporting the global Telugu community and involving them in the State's growth, women welfare and empowerment, social justice and prosperity of the poor (eradicating poverty through the P-4 initiative, housing for the weaker sections, and making healthcare and education accessible to all towards achieving Swarnandhra Vision-2047), and supporting farmers with due focus on the construction of irrigation projects. Tight security Elaborate arrangements have been made for the Mahanaduon a sprawling ground near Kapada. Mr. Palla Srinivasa Rao, several Ministers, MLAs and Politburo members personally monitored the steps taken for successful conduct of the prestigious event, while the police deployed a large number of personnel to avert any untoward incident and for controlling traffic. Due focus is going to be laid on plans for the development of Rayalaseema which has been mainly beset by the tardy progress of pending major irrigation projects.
