TDP Strategy Committee Meeting Held

The strategy committee meeting of the TDP was held today under the chairmanship of the national president of the party Chandrababu Naidu.

Party leaders K Atchannaidu, Nara Lokesh, Nimmala Ramanaidu, Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy, Varla Ramaiah, Nimmakayala Chinna Rajappa, Kalva Srinivasulu, K S Jawahar, Devineni Uma Maheswar Rao, Alapati Rajendra Prasad, Payyavula Keshav, Bandaru Satyanarayana Murthy, T D Janardhan, Beeda Ravichandra Yadav, P Ashok Babu, Nallamilli Ramakrishna Reddy, B C Janardhan Reddy, Bonda Umamaheshwar Rao and others attended the meeting.

The party took several decisions during the meeting.

Speaking on the occasion, Naidu alleged that AP CM Y S Jaganmohan Reddy had turned the Rs 2 lakh crore Andhra Pradesh capital Amaravathi into a useless city.

Proper utilisation of the capital would have prevented the shortage of funds to the 13 districts of the state, he claimed.

He also alleged that the government had thrown the entire state into a debt trap, and had also pushed the farmers into a deep crisis.

The defeat of the ruling party in the upcoming municipal elections would result in a drop in the prices of essential commodities and the tax burden, he added, and urged the voters of the state to join hands with the TDP to end the "feudal" rule of the YSR Congress.

Referring to the decision of the state government to present the YSR Lifetime Achievement Awards on the occasion of the state's formation day, he said that it was unfortunate that the CM had forgotten to pay tributes to Potti Sriramulu, who had sacrificed his life for the formation of the state.
