The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has claimed that the Yuva Galam padayatra of the party’s national general secretary Nara Lokesh saw the biggest crowd in Kadapa among all the other districts of Rayalaseema, considered to be the bastion of YSR Congress Party.
The walkathon ended in the Rayalaseema region on Tuesday.
At a media conference here on Tuesday, TDP Polit Bureau member and Kadapa district in-charge R. Sreenivasa Reddy said: “From Jammalamadugu to Badvel, the response was thoroughly encouraging, and the cadre is buoyed,” he said.
Mr. Reddy said that the programme’s huge success in Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s native district had become a bitter pill to swallow for the YSR Congress Party leaders who, he alleged, had unleashed all forms of propaganda to belittle its success.
