Members of the TDP's Sweet Stall Owners and Workers' Association in the city have joined the party with the intention of doing good for future generations by the YSRCP government. Taking this as an ideal, YSR Sweet‌ stall Owners and Workers Federation also revealed that they would start alternative stalls.
