Vijayawada: The Telugu Desam’s Krishna district unit is planning to organise a door-to-door campaign following the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal verdict.
Party chief N. Chandrababu Naidu has directed rank and file of the party’s Krishna district to take the issue to the public and use it against the Congress, and especially target the regime of former chief minister Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy.
Naidu told the TD leaders to get the farmers’ support by highlight the failure of the Congress in a favourable verdict from the Tribunal.
However, the fact remains that agriculture workers and villagers have not shown much inclination to involve themselves in political activities of late.
Naidu’s maha dharna too witnessed a meagre attendance, even though party leaders from four districts attended the meeting. However, the turnout by farmers was not impressive.
It was perhaps the thin attendance by the farmers that prompted the TD chief to instruct party leaders of the four districts to concentrate on more interactions with the farmers.
According to sources, Naidu also advised the leaders to organise another massive public meeting in the future for the farmers, if such a situation arose.
The district TD cell may take a call on the party’s further moves after observing how things go at the proposed meeting of Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy on December 7.
