Ahead of the Telugu Desam Party's (TDP) three-day State level jamboree 'Mahanadu 2025', begining on May 27, the contiguous constituencies of Kadapa and Kamalapuram appear painted yellow, the colour representing the TDP's flag. Flags and festoons flutter high and high-rise cutouts have made their presence quite conspicuous at the Pabbapuram venue in Chintakommadinne mandal of Kadapa district. In view of the venue's location close to the bypass road, traffic disruption in the city is expected to be minimal. The TDP district machinery has made elaborate arrangements for the leaders and functionaries to reach the sprawling venue through five routes. Five entry points are fixed at Pulivendula road point, Kamalapuram – Tadipatri road point, Mydukur-Kurnool road point, Siddavatam – Badvel road point and CK Dinne – Rajampet road (RIMS) point, from where signboards are arranged till the venue. More than a dozen Ministers and party coordinators are in town, working out last minute arrangements to eliminate hiccups and make the event a grand success. The road leading from Kadapa airport to the venue, considered crucial in terms of traffic movement, has been thoroughly barricaded and kept in ideal condition to ensure smooth movement of the VVIP crowd. Ministers Ponguru Narayana (Municipal Administration), Kinjarapu Atchannaidu (Agriculture), Anam Ramanarayana Reddy (Endowments), Kollu Ravindra (Excise), Mandipalli Ramprasad Reddy (Transport and Youth Affairs), Gummadi Sandhya Rani (Women and Child Welfare), Anagani Satya Prasad (Revenue), B.C. Janardhan Reddy (Roads and Buildings) are already camping in Kadapa to review the arrangements. Similarly, party State president Palla Srinivas, MLCs Beeda Ravichandra, Bhoomireddy Ramagopal Reddy, former MLC Manthena Satyanarayana Raju are also busy monitoring the various tasks entrusted to the committees. On the security front, Director-General of Police Harish Kumar Gupta, Inspector-General (Operations) Ch. Srikanth and Deputy Inspector-General (Kurnool range) Koya Praveen have stayed put in Kadapa to keep a hawk's eye on the venue. Demand for buses In view of the shortage of hotel rooms in the city, which was found to be grossly inadequate to meet the inflow of party functionaries for the three-day meet, the demand for private buses has seen a sudden jump. This is apparently in tune with the decision of the party leadership to accommodate several of its members in places outside Kadapa, but within a travelling time of one hour to the venue. The places identified are Proddatur, Mydukur, Badvel, Pulivendula, Rajampeta etc. As the distance grew, the sudden need for buses was felt at the last minute and the leaders are busy mobilising around 100 buses for the event.
