Lokesh moves six resolutions at Mahanadu to serve as beacon for future
TDP national General Secretary Nara Lokesh proposed six resolutions meant to serve as a beacon for the party's future and the people of Andhra Pradesh (A.P.) at its three-day political conclave Mahanadu that began here on Tuesday.
The first resolution was to strive to earn more global recognition for 'Telugu identity' by elevating the stature of Telugu people irrespective of caste, religion and region. The second one was aimed at empowerment of the youth by welcoming both senior and junior leaders among them into the party on the basis of merit, and creating jobs by attracting major industries like TCS and Reliance, the ultimate objective being to provide jobs to 20 lakh youths.
Women empowerment (Sthree Sakthi) was the third resolution to ensure safety and equal opportunities for women in all spheres including within the TDP, taking a cue from the provision of equal property rights to women by N.T. Rama Rao, and the initiatives taken by N. Chandrababu Naidu over the years.
The fourth resolution was on 'social re-engineering — pro poor', whose goal is to eradicate poverty through innovative welfare models under the P-4 (Public, Private, People Partnership) initiative.
The fifth one was to extend all possible support to farmers by completing the pending irrigation projects, giving crop input subsidies etc. In this regard, Mr. Lokesh promised to ensure fair prices for crops.
'Cadre as the backbone – workers are leaders' was the last resolution that targeted the empowerment of the party cadres apart from taking steps like providing them insurance coverage, education, healthcare, and employment opportunities.
Mr. Lokesh said these resolutions constituted the party's roadmap for the future and that it would be secure only if the organisation made collective efforts.
He observed that while staying rooted in its founding principles, the TDP should evolve with the changing times, and highlighted how the TDP was different from other parties which came into existence with regional and caste agendas.

New twist to man's death during Jagan Mohan Reddy's rally in Andhra's Guntur
In a new twist to the case relating to the death of a person during YSRCP President Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy's June 18 rally in Guntur district, a video has surfaced allegedly showing the victim coming under the wheels of the vehicle carrying the former chief minister. The video was widely shared on social media platforms since Saturday, but its veracity could not be confirmed. The video shows Jagan standing on the door of his vehicle to wave at his supporters who were vying with each other to shake hands with him, and a man coming under the front wheel of the vehicle. The police have not yet reacted to the video, while the YSR Congress Party has dismissed it as an attempt to tarnish the image of its leader. Cheeli Singaiah (65) died after a vehicle in Jagan Mohan Reddy's convoy hit him on the National Highway at Etukuru village in Guntur district. The former chief minister was organising a rally from Tadepalli in Guntur district to Sattenapalli in Palnadu district to console party functionary Korlakunta Nagamalleswara Rao, who died by suicide due to alleged harassment by police and TDP leaders. According to police, Cheeli Singaiah had come to participate in the rally. Guntur District Superintendent of Police S. Satish Kumar had confirmed the same day that Singaiah was hit by a vehicle in Jagan's convoy. The SP stated that after the accident, the convoy moved without stopping there and taking care of the victim. The police on the patrolling duty at that time found the victim and shifted him to a hospital, but the doctors declared him as brought dead. The police registered a case and took up an investigation. After the video surfaced showing the victim being allegedly hit by Jagan's car, state Minister Gottipati Ravi Kumar said that the YSRCP leader was throwing people's lives to the wind for his publicity stunt. Meanwhile, the YSR Congress Party has dismissed the video as 'fabricated' and an attempt to tarnish the image of Jagan Mohan Reddy. YSRCP leader and former Minister Ambati Rambabu said on Sunday that the death of a person during YS Jagan's Palnadu tour has been blown out of proportion. 'Just after the incident, TDP and its friends started a media trial aimed at spreading lies against YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and went in circles to tell that it was his car that had hit the person, Singamayya, resulting in his death. The SP himself confirmed that it was not Jagan's vehicle but the one that accompanied the convoy that caused the mishap,' Rambabu told media persons. The former minister stated that Jagan is such a person that he would ensure that the injured person is admitted to the hospital before resuming the tour. 'TDP-friendly media has been busy doling out false stories to dilute the success of our leader's tour,' he said. Rambabu, who has been booked for violating conditions laid down by police for Jagan's visit, alleged that the coalition government is misusing police to settle political scores and indiscriminately file false cases violating all norms only to please their political bosses and resorting to intimidation besides working with the sole intention of trying to scuttle Jagan Mohan Reddy's public contact programmes. The former minister said such acts will only strengthen our resolve to fight against the government and warned TDP leadership that they would not lose heart but will fight back the repression and the attempts at character assassination of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy would result in a groundswell of support from the public.

YSRCP supporter ‘run over by Jagan's vehicle' in bid to shower flowers on it, Andhra police begin probe as video goes viral
Police in Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh have launched an investigation after a YSRCP supporter was allegedly run over by the vehicle of party president and former chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Wednesday. Cheeli Singaiah, 55, died after being run over purportedly when he slipped and fell in front of the vehicle while trying to shower flowers on Jagan. According to officials, the vehicle's front right wheel ran over the man's neck. Police and YSRCP supporters rushed him to a nearby hospital and later to Guntur Government Hospital, but he died on the way, said Guntur Superintendent of Police S Satish Kumar. Initially, it was thought that Singaiah was injured after climbing on a vehicle in Jagan's convoy and falling down, but videos of him being crushed under the vehicle in which Jagan was travelling have gone viral on social media. Singaiah was a resident of Vengalayapalem village and had gone to greet Jagan with flowers. The incident occurred when Jagan was returning after visiting Rentapalla village in Palnadu district, where he had gone to console the family of a former sarpanch who had died by suicide, allegedly due to police harassment. Singaiah 'unfortunately fell down in front of the convoy and was run over', SP Kumar said. On the same day, another YSRCP supporter, 30-year-old P Jayvardhan Reddy, collapsed and died in a melee of Jagan supporters near Sattenapalli clock tower. He was declared brought dead at the Guntur Government Hospital. Jagan's visit to Palnadu had already become controversial due to a placard held up by a YSRCP supporter, which led to a police case and a political blame game. The placard, held up by YSRCP worker T Raviteja on Wednesday, said: 'When YSRCP comes to power in 2029', and below that, 'rapa rapa narukuta'. The Telugu words were part of a line delivered by Allu Arjun in Pushpa 2. It translates to 'cut them down, one by one'. Police in Palnadu said they registered a case against Raviteja. Andhra Pradesh Home Minister V Anitha accused Jagan of encouraging such 'violent' statements. Jagan defended the placard, saying it was not meant to be violent and asked, 'So, now you can't even quote a line from a movie?'

Achievement belongs to every citizen, says Andhra CM over record-breaking Yoga event
Amaravati: After the Yogandhra event at Visakhapatnam on the 11th International Day of Yoga created a new Guinness Book of World Record, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said this achievement belongs to every citizen of Andhra Pradesh. A total of 3,00,105 people participated in the event organised by the Government of India. This set the record for the largest yoga lesson ever. Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the event by performing the Common Yoga Protocol with the participants at the RK Beach. He was joined by Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, Governor S. Abdul Nazeer, and Central and state ministers. The event was held on a 28-km stretch from RK Beach to Bhogapuram. It broke the record set in 2023 in Surat, which hosted a Yoga session with 1.47 lakh participants at one location. Reacting to a tweet by Guinness World Records on Sunday, Chief Minister Naidu posted that this achievement belongs to every citizen of Andhra Pradesh. 'I thank each and every one of you who made this possible. Your enthusiasm and dedication have been truly inspiring. This record shows what we can accomplish when we unite with a purpose. Congratulations to everyone!' wrote Naidu. 'And we did it! Heartfelt thanks to all the participants, TDP leaders and cadre, government officials, and everyone who contributed to achieving this remarkable feat,' posted Human Resources Development Minister Nara Lokesh. The event marked the culmination of Yogandhra, a month-long initiative by the state government to create public awareness. The programme began at 6.30 a.m. on Saturday, but participants had started arriving as early as 2 a.m. According to officials, a QR code-based tracking system set a new standard for crowd management and real-time attendance accuracy. A day before the main event, Visakhapatnam set another Guinness World Record for the largest synchronised Surya Namaskar with 22,122 tribal students performing together. Additionally, the state achieved 21 recognitions in the World Book of Records, showcasing its organisational excellence and public enthusiasm. Nine Indian Naval warships participated in the main event, symbolising national unity and pride.
