TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Thursday promised to distribute the assigned lands to the poor immediately after the party forms the coming government.

“We will acquire all the assigned lands that are now illegally occupied and distribute them to the poor,” Lokesh told the villagers of Kotcherla of Vinukonda Assembly segment in combined Guntur district during his Yuva Galam pada yatra. When the villagers of Kotcherla complained that they do not even have drinking water, Lokesh said that this corrupt Government did not implement even the Centrally sponsored Jal Jeevan Mission scheme.

“Once the TDP is back in power all the problems of the rural areas will be resolved. Safe drinking water will be supplied to every doorstep and house-sites will be allotted to those who do not have shelter,” Lokesh told the villagers.

As the Yuva Galam reached the 2,300 km milestone at Kondramutla village, the TDP general secretary laid the foundation stone for the Varikapudisela project. “I am assuring you that the coming TDP government will take up the project and complete it in a record time to meet the needs of the people here,” Lokesh announced on the occasion.

When the farmers from Angaluru said that they are not getting Minimum Support Price for their farm products, Lokesh said that since the Chief Minister has zero knowledge on agriculture the farmers are facing such untold hardships. Once the TDP is back in power their issues will be resolved on a war-footing basis, he said.

When the other villagers said that they are not getting any farm loans since their lands belong to the assigned category, Lokesh said that once the TDP government is formed a detailed survey will be conducted and these lands will be deleted from the prohibitory category.

Lokesh is giving a one-day gap for Yuva Galam on Friday as he is attending the Mangalagiri court. Lokesh is getting ready for a legal battle against a media house and the then chairman of Skill Development, Ajay Reddy, for spreading falsehood against him.
