Former Minister and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national general secretary Nara Lokesh embarked on a significant tour of the North Andhra region on Sunday, February 11th, 2024, launching his Sankharavam campaign in Ichchapuram. As he addressed the public at Rajavari Ground, Lokesh made a bold pledge that corresponded with the aspirations of many: to issue DSC (District Selection Committee) notifications annually for the recruitment of teachers if the TDP Party is entrusted with power in the upcoming 2024 general elections. Lokesh’s promise comes as a response to what he views as a betrayal of B.Ed. candidates by the current ruling party government, which has failed to issue such notifications over the past four years. This commitment not only addresses the immediate need for employment opportunities for qualified individuals but also underscores the TDP’s focus on education and human resource development.
Highlighting the issues of the people in the region during the Sankharavam campaign, Nara Lokesh criticised the neglect of critical infrastructure projects, particularly in irrigation, which has contributed to the underdevelopment of areas like Srikakulam. He outlined the TDP agenda to prioritise irrigation projects, aiming to provide water for lakhs of acres in the district, thereby improving agricultural productivity and rural livelihoods. Moreover, Lokesh addressed the concerns of cashew farmers, promising to tackle their challenges by ensuring a reasonable price for cashew nuts and extending financial assistance to support their efforts. By acknowledging and committing to address the challenges faced by farmers, Nara Lokesh demonstrates the TDP’s commitment to uplift rural communities and promote inclusive growth. Lokesh stated that the people of Andhra Pradesh were eagerly anticipating the opportunity to vote for the TDP, viewing it as the solution to the alleged misrule and lack of progress under the present administration.
Lokesh’s Sankharavam campaign, though initiated as an alternative to his incomplete Yuavagalam padayatra in the North Andhra districts, has emerged as a platform for expressing the TDP Party’s and N. Chandrababu Naidu’s vision for the region and the state at large. By engaging directly with the people and addressing their concerns, Nara Lokesh seeks to rally support for the TDP’s agenda of development, governance, and inclusive progress. As the election fever intensifies, Lokesh’s promises and campaign speeches will undoubtedly shape the discussion and influence the electoral landscape in Andhra Pradesh. Whether the electorate approves of the TDP Party’s vision remains to be seen, but Nara Lokesh’s proactive engagement signals a spirited contest for power and a vibrant democracy in action.
