The Telugu Desam Party is planning a special package to the families of those who had sacrificed their lives for the cause of statehood for Telangana, if it comes to power in Telangana.
Speaking to media personnel after participating in the Telangana Manifesto Committee meeting at the NTR Trust Bhavan on Sunday, TDP leader Ravula Chandrasekhar Reddy said that the kin of the Telangana martyrs will be given due recognition, and special assistance will also be extended to these families.
Although he did not elaborate on the nature of the packages that are being proposed, sources say that the TDP might offer a government job to one member of each of the martyrs' families besides giving a free housing site and other benefits like health insurance and free education to the children.
The Manifesto Committee discussed several other proposals that might be included in the party's manifesto for Telangana state in the ensuing Assembly and Lok Sabha elections. (INN)
