Lokesh urges TDP leaders to appreciate efforts of cadre
Vijayawada: Minister for Education and IT and TDP national general secretary Nara Lokesh, while cementing his ties with members at the grassroots level, on Sunday called upon party workers to diligently promote the 'Suparipalana - Tholi Adugu' (The First Step in Good Governance) campaign door-to-door for a month, ensuring its success. He made these remarks during a TDP meeting held at the party's national office here, which focused on the campaign marking a year of the NDA government's rule. While taking the campaign to every household, members should explain the coalition government's developmental and welfare initiatives of the past year and record public feedback via an app, Lokesh explained. He also instructed members to report their work through the 'My TDP' app, ensuring strict adherence to the door-to-door campaign for its success. While seeking to galvanise the party at all levels, Lokesh recounted the overwhelming public mandate given to the party in the 2024 elections. 'The primary reason for this victory was the arrogance and work ethic of the previous rulers,' he stated. He particularly emphasized the immense hard work of the party cadre behind this success. Lokesh recalled that during his Yuva Galam padayatra, party leader Chandrababu Naidu had introduced the CUB (Cluster, Unit, Booth) system. Despite initial skepticism, this system had significantly strengthened the party's booths and enabled numerous activities, he pointed out. Lokesh asserted that the previous ruling party's arrogance was the sole reason for their decline from 151 seats to just 11. He urged all party members to remember this lesson. He advised party members to operate 'as if we are in Opposition, even while in power.' This approach, he explained, involved actively addressing public issues. The TDP national general secretary appealed to everyone not to forget the hardworking cadre who had faced harassment, false cases, and even imprisonment during the previous regime. He mentioned the appointment of observers to ensure the party cadre are not overlooked, while being fully utilised. Describing the party office as a 'sacred temple,' Lokesh stressed the need to build party offices in every district and constituency. He announced efforts to significantly involve women in the party structure by introducing co-convener positions in CUBs. Lokesh underlined the necessity of combining the experience of senior leaders with the energy of the youth. He called for fostering a spirit of competition among party members, noting that Minister Nimmala Ramanaidu had topped the list for organisational building in his constituency, while Mangalagiri stood fifth. Lokesh concluded by observing 'party is supreme' and that continuous victory, as seen in Kuppam due to robust organisational structure, was achievable with focused efforts on party organisation. He mentioned that 90 per cent of KSS (Karyakartha Sadhikaratha Sarathi) registrations, along with 82 per cent of booths, 80 per cent of units, and 80 per cent of clusters, had been completed. He called for strengthening of allied wings and prioritizing those who worked in various committees by July 5th.

Work smart to win 2029 polls: Naidu to TDP cadre
Vijayawada: Telugu Desam Party (TDP) supremo and Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu on Sunday exhorted his party leaders and cadre to not only work hard but also work smart as 'winning 2029 elections is my plan'. Addressing TDP's ministers, MPs, MLAs, leaders and others at the party office here on Sunday as part of 'Suparipalana - Tholi Adugu' (The First Step in Good Governance) campaign, Naidu stressed that TDP should remain in power beyond 2029 to continue development. Citing Singapore's example of prolonged single-party rule, he claimed that the state would have been on a rapid development path had TDP won in 2019. The Chief Minister further said that the state would aim to become a national innovation hub backed by industry and welfare synergy. According to him, the state government signed several investment-related MoUs that would generate 8.5 lakh jobs. Global corporates such as Google, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), LG Electronics, and ArcelorMittal are among those who will be investing in the state. "Investors believe in Andhra Pradesh's stability and potential," said Naidu, highlighting Cognizant Technology Solutions, Jindal Group, and others setting up units in Rayalaseema and North Andhra regions. Naidu stated that growth would be achieved in backward areas through aerospace, defence, and food processing units, ensuring job creation and equitable regional industrial development across multiple sectors. On the 'First Step in Good Governance' campaign marking the first anniversary of the NDA government in Andhra Pradesh, he urged party leaders and cadre to actively engage with the public for a month and showcase the state government's welfare and development initiatives implemented in the last one year. The Chief Minister stressed the importance of effective communication. "The government has undertaken numerous positive initiatives in the last year. These must be explained to the people," he asserted. According to him, the party prepared an action plan for a month-long, door-to-door campaign involving party leadership and cadres to disseminate information about the government's achievements. Naidu also urged leaders to be accessible to the public, stating, "the more accessible you are to the people, the more they will support you. Working is one thing; being available to the public is another." He also called for accountability, stating, "let's be accountable to the people. If there are mistakes, let's correct them." Naidu said that he was conducting various surveys to gather real-time information from the ground and assess the performance of MPs and MLAs. 'Only those who work hard will get positions,' he said. Naidu accused the YSR Congress of running deliberate smear campaigns, citing fabricated stories around murders, attacks, and false allegations on governance. He instructed party leaders to counter these narratives boldly, stressing that while highlighting welfare work is vital, exposing the opposition's alleged conspiracy-driven propaganda is equally important.

Aim for 2029 poll win, forestall YSRCP ‘misinformation campaign', Naidu tells TDP leaders
TDP national president and Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has called upon the party leaders and cadres to prepare for the 2029 elections from now itself, as otherwise, the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) would seize the opportunity to garner votes by waging a misinformation campaign, the kind of which it did effectively during 2014-19. The good work done by the TDP during those years came to a naught as the people believed in the machinations of the YSRCP, which went on to set new benchmarks in corruption and push the State backward by 20 to 30 years through its regressive policies and distinct brand of vindictive politics, he said. 'We should not commit that mistake again. Each one of us should reach out to every household and explain what the coalition government did in the last one year in order to win their confidence,' he exhorted. Addressing a meeting of the TDP MPs, including Union Ministers K. Rammohan Naidu and Pemmasani Chandra Sekhar, State Ministers, MLAs and MLCs as part of the 'Suparipalana - Tholi Adugu' (The First Step in Good Governance) campaign on Sunday, Mr. Naidu said the NDA government in the State has done many good things in the last one year but the task of undoing the damage that had been done by the YSRCP during 2019-24 was far from over, as basically the public debt amounted to a staggering ₹10 lakh crore and the institutions that were undermined, had to be put back on the track one by one. The YSRCP was looking to mislead the people on what had been done by the coalition in the last one year, Mr. Naidu said. Revival of Central aid One conspicuous feature of the YSRCP regime was almost all the 95 Centrally-Sponsored Schemes (CSSs) becoming defunct during its term due to non-payment of the State's contribution, but the NDA government managed to revive 86 CSSs in spite of severe constraints. Attempts to stall Central funding for the construction of the capital city Amaravati was another audacious thing done by the YSRCP with political motives. After thwarting those attempts, the coalition government could garner support for Amaravati in the form of ₹15,000 crore assistance from the World Bank and ADB. Mr. Naidu said the TDP had done social re-engineering on the basis of caste and religion across the different regions and won the trust of voters, who gave the alliance (TDP - Jana Sena Party - BJP) a phenomenal strike rate of nearly 94% in the 2024 elections. The YSRCP spent huge sums to win the elections but had to be content with just 11 seats as the people were vexed with its style of governance, whereas the TDP-led alliance offered a new hope of progress and peace. In the last one year, the NDA government maintained a fine balance between development and welfare, he observed. The Chief Minister further said the YSRCP excelled in misleading people and it was evident from the manner in which the conspirators behind the Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy murder made the whole State believe that the death was due to a heart attack but they could not hide the facts forever. The 'kodi - kathi' incident and the alleged attempt to murder Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy by throwing a stone at him reflected his deceptive mindset. Performance appraisal Mr. Naidu told the party's elected representatives to be accessible to the people and that he was getting real-time updates of their performances, saying that only those working with true spirit of service to the people would be able to win in the 2029 elections. He made it clear that he would not tolerate indiscipline and failure to fulfil the people's aspirations, while pointing out that he was pressing for the demonetisation of currency notes of ₹500 denomination. It would help in curbing the menace of money power in elections to a large extent, he asserted, claiming that the TDP had always used the Central government support for development of the State, be it the crucial role played by it in the formation of the National Front or the United Front governments.
