Amaravati: No Misfire or Crossfire in Our Party: Nara Lokesh
Under the evening sky in Bhamini, Parvathipuram Manyam district, TDP national general secretary and minister Nara Lokesh gathered party workers and leaders on Thursday night. His words cut through the humid air, a firm reminder that internal squabbles have no place in a party built on collective strength. Addressing the Palakonda assembly segment cadre, Lokesh painted a vision of harmony, urging everyone to rise above petty divides for the long haul ahead.
No Room for Internal Crossfire
Lokesh laid it out plainly: misfires and crossfires, those ugly family feuds that tear parties apart, won’t be tolerated in TDP. Individuals come and go, but the party’s enduring legacy is what matters most. He stressed that workers, not fleeting personalities, form the unbreakable backbone, calling for a united front that shuns group rivalries like a plague.
A Fifteen-Year Horizon
With eyes on the next decade and a half, Lokesh assured the crowd that TDP’s progress hinges on unwavering solidarity. “We’ll march forward hand in hand, not looking back at old grudges,” he declared, invoking the spirit of discipline under chief N. Chandrababu Naidu. Naidu, he said, stands as the supreme commander, and every member must follow like devoted soldiers, honoring the simple dignity workers crave.
Tackling the ‘Ulcer’ Within
The minister didn’t shy from hard truths, likening internal gossip and silos to a nagging ulcer that weakens the body politic. “We’re hurting ourselves with these whispers; let’s air it out among us and heal,” Lokesh advised, pushing for open dialogues to resolve minor hiccups. He warned against expecting personal interventions for every task, reminding officials to handle legitimate requests from cadre without red tape.
- Foster Open Talks: Discuss issues internally before they fester.
- Ditch Group Politics: Prioritize party goals over personal camps.
- Empower Cadre: Use the Mighty TDP app to assign roles and track progress.
Swipes at the Opposition
Lokesh turned the spotlight on YSRCP’s record, mocking their leader for brushing off a Rs 50 crore scam in Parakamani as trivial. “Even God might overlook that one,” he quipped, drawing chuckles. He highlighted TDP-led coalition’s swift wins, like filling over 16,000 teacher posts via Mega DSC despite legal hurdles, and securing the Visakhapatnam railway zone in a year, feats the rivals couldn’t muster in five.
Path to Collective Strength
As the meeting wrapped with ministers like Atchannaidu, Sandhyarani, and whip Jagadeeswari in attendance, Lokesh’s message lingered: unity isn’t optional, it’s the fuel for TDP’s fire. In a district where tribal voices often echo softly, his call feels like a bridge, pulling workers closer to shared dreams. If heeded, it could quiet the murmurs and amplify the roar.
