Lokesh moves six resolutions at Mahanadu to serve as beacon for future
TDP national General Secretary Nara Lokesh proposed six resolutions meant to serve as a beacon for the party's future and the people of Andhra Pradesh (A.P.) at its three-day political conclave Mahanadu that began here on Tuesday.
The first resolution was to strive to earn more global recognition for 'Telugu identity' by elevating the stature of Telugu people irrespective of caste, religion and region. The second one was aimed at empowerment of the youth by welcoming both senior and junior leaders among them into the party on the basis of merit, and creating jobs by attracting major industries like TCS and Reliance, the ultimate objective being to provide jobs to 20 lakh youths.
Women empowerment (Sthree Sakthi) was the third resolution to ensure safety and equal opportunities for women in all spheres including within the TDP, taking a cue from the provision of equal property rights to women by N.T. Rama Rao, and the initiatives taken by N. Chandrababu Naidu over the years.
The fourth resolution was on 'social re-engineering — pro poor', whose goal is to eradicate poverty through innovative welfare models under the P-4 (Public, Private, People Partnership) initiative.
The fifth one was to extend all possible support to farmers by completing the pending irrigation projects, giving crop input subsidies etc. In this regard, Mr. Lokesh promised to ensure fair prices for crops.
'Cadre as the backbone – workers are leaders' was the last resolution that targeted the empowerment of the party cadres apart from taking steps like providing them insurance coverage, education, healthcare, and employment opportunities.
Mr. Lokesh said these resolutions constituted the party's roadmap for the future and that it would be secure only if the organisation made collective efforts.
He observed that while staying rooted in its founding principles, the TDP should evolve with the changing times, and highlighted how the TDP was different from other parties which came into existence with regional and caste agendas.
