The caste root of Minister for Forests Satrucherla Vijayarama Raju has come in criticism at the TDP’s district-level Mini-Mahanadu .

The party’s ex-MLA Nimmaka Jayaraj, who had been fighting relentlessly over the minister’s caste, asked why the government has not filed a criminal case against Vijayarama Raju for submitting wrong information in his election affidavit and won the elections from reserved (ST) constituency.

Telugu Desam Party Polit Bureau member P. Ashok Gajapathi Raju has said that he finds no real development except increase in corruption from State capital to village. The TDP had published a book titled “Raja of Corruption” and sought action. Had the government acted on their demand, Kadapa MP Jagan Mohan Reddy would not have been in jail now.

Speaking at the district Mini-mahanadu of Telugu Desam party, Ashok said that the Congress has the rare distinction of influencing State Governors to fulfil party agenda. While Governor Ramlal had allegedly shown indifference to the Constitution, N.D. Tiwari converted Raja Bhavan into a “brothel house”, and the present incumbent was not ready to accept resignations of ministers charge-sheeted in Jagan’s disproportionate assets case because the Cabinet had taken a decision on it. 

The TDP  Krishna district Mini Mahanadu  was organised at Kammavari Sangham Ground in Machilipatnam on Saturday.

The TDP State general secretary Gorantla Bucchaiah Chowdary attended the Mini Mahanadu as observer.The party  convention discuss on various issues, including impact of Vastunna Meekosam padayatra and district declaration.

The power sector during the last nine years, scams that rocked both the State and the Central governments, welfare schemes announced by the State government, irrigation schemes, law and order problem are some of the issues that were discussed at the Mahanadu.

The TDP  has said that it would burn the effigy of Secondary Education Minister K. Parthasarathy at Vuyyuru.

Addressing a press conference here on Friday, former MLC ,Y.V.B Rajendra Prasad said that the police foiled the attempts of the TDP workers to burn effigy of Vuyyuru . The police worked at the behest of Minister's orders, and created problems to the TDP workers.

The police did not intervene when the Congress leaders burnt effigy of TDP leader Kodela sivaprasada Rao. It sheer double standards by the police, he said, adding that the TDP strongly condemn it.

The  Meadak  Dist TDP Mini Mahanadu  called upon the party workers to be united and defeat opportunist political parties like Congress, TRS and YSRC  who were involved neck-deep in scams.

The mini Mahanadu of the TDP was held at Patancheru was presided over by party district unit president and Medak legislator Mynampally Hanumantha Rao. Former legislator G. Shayanna attended as the observer.

The Telugu Desam mini-mahanadu held  at Nizamabad  has  expressed hope that the party would come back to power in the State with a landslide victory reminiscent of the one it had gained in 1983.

The party cadres therefore should not be upset about its prospects in the upcoming general elections and should visit villages to intensify campaigning. They must undertake padayatras taking the party chief Chandrababu Naidu’s maha padayatra as an example, said the mini-mahanadu meeting. 

While asserting that the return of the Telugu Desam Party to power under the stewardship of N. Chandrababu Naidu is a historic necessity, the party’s Mini Mahanadu held here on Friday passed resolutions on crises in agriculture and power sectors, law & order, negligence of local bodies, economic reforms and poverty alleviation, anti-people policies of the Central and the State governments and the slew of major scandals that surfaced recently.

The Mini Mahanadu at Guntur also took strong objection to the attempts purportedly being made by Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy to protect the Ministers facing allegations in the disproportionate assets case of Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy and demanded that the law take its course.
