TDP Activists To Target YSR To Reach Farmers

The TDP's Krishna district unit is reportedly planning to organise a door-to-door campaign, following the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal's verdict.

Party chief N Chandrababu Naidu has directed the rank and file of the party's Krishna district to take the issue to the public, and to use it against the Congress, and especially to target the regime of former chief minister Y S Rajasekhar Reddy.

Reportedly Naidu also told the TDP leaders to get the farmers' support, by highlight the failure of the Congress to get a favourable verdict from the Tribunal.

However, agriculture workers and villagers have not shown inclination to involve themselves in political activities of late.

Naidu’s "maha dharna" too witnessed a meagre attendance, even though party leaders from 4 districts attended the meeting.

However, the turnout by farmers was not impressive.

It was perhaps the thin attendance by farmers, that prompted the TDP chief to instruct party leaders of the 4 districts to concentrate on more interactions with them.

According to sources, Naidu also advised the leaders to organise another massive public meeting for farmers in the future, if such a situation arose.

The district TDP cell may take a call on the party’s further moves after observing how things go at the proposed meeting of Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy on December 7.
