Nandikotkur: Telugu Desam Party Government to encourage women to turn entrepreneurs says Nara Lokesh

Nandikotkur (Nandyal) : The Jagan Mohan Reddy government is not only neglecting women’s welfare completely in the state but also harassing them in various ways, observed TDP national general secretary Nara Lokesh here on Thursday.

During his Yuva Galam padayatra, the villagers of Mandlem and Tangadancha of Nandikotkur Assembly segment met Lokesh and informed him that they were not receiving subsidy on various welfare schemes for women after the YSRCP government came to power.

They also wanted the Chandranna Pelli Kanuka to be revived soon after the TDP returned to power and 75 per cent subsidy be provided for women to set up small scale industries.

Lokesh promised them that all the pending projects in Rayalaseema will be completed soon after the TDP assumes charge in the coming elections. He also said that Chandranna Pelli Kanuka will be revived once the party comes to power for all sections. The party would also encourage women to set up entrepreneurs and all possible assistance will be extended to them in this regard, he said.

Earlier, the villagers of Tarthuru made an appeal to Lokesh to sanction a lift irrigation facility for their village. They also complained that false cases are being registered against them and requested him to lift all such cases once TDP resumes power.

Assuring them that all such fake cases will be lifted, Lokesh said that not only lift irrigation facilities will be provided to the villagers but also the drinking water problem too will be solved. “Filing such false cases against the victims is the specialty of Raja Reddy constitution,” Lokesh remarked.

In an interaction held with the members of the Backward Classes communities at Tarigopula Cross during his padayatra, Lokesh said that soon after the TDP assumes power again BCs will be provided all sorts of assistance. Pointing out that the earlier TDP regime has encouraged dairy farming and provided loans on high subsidy for purchasing sheep, Lokesh said that the GO 217 is a serious setback for the fish ponds. “We will revoke this GO immediately after coming to power,” Lokesh said.
