Will develop Amaravati as capital and adopt decentralisation policy: Nara Lokesh
VIJAYAWADA: Emphasising that the TDP’s policy is to create assets and implement welfare programmes through the revenue generated from these assets, party general secretary Nara Lokesh said when party supremo N Chandrababu Naidu became the chief minister in 2014, the revenue was zero, but he implemented various welfare programmes after generating revenue through the assets that he had created in five years of the TDP rule.
During the ‘Breakfast with Lokesh’ programme organized at Atmakur Mid Valley City in Mangalagiri, the TDP leader accused Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy of pushing the State back by 30 years in terms of development with his destructive rule.
Stressing the need for intellectuals and educated people to join politics for the overall development of the State, Lokesh reiterated that the State has suffered heavy losses due to Jagan’s plan to develop three capitals.
“While we will develop one capital, Amaravati, we will also adopt the policy of decentralisation. Works in Amaravati, stalled for the past five years, will be resumed immediately after the alliance takes charge,” he said.
Urging the people not to worry, he has asserted that the TDP has a comprehensive plan to develop the State. “We are firm on inviting industries to the State to provide employment to lakhs of youngsters, thus doubling the State revenue,” Lokesh explained.
Further, he said the TDP-JSP-BJP alliance will implement better welfare programme after coming to power.
TDP leader from Guntur Pemmasani Chandrasekhar, JSP Mangalagiri Assembly segment in-charge Chillapalli Srinivasa Rao were among those present at the programme.
