Naidu Asserts TD Will Continue Its Alliance With BJP, Jana Sena

Vijayawada:Chief Minister and Telugu Desam national president N. Chandrababu Naidu on Saturday reaffirmed that the TD would continue its alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Jana Sena (JS). He asserted that the TD is taking all necessary precautions to avoid electoral setbacks in future.

During the course of his ‘Coffee Kaburlu with Cluster In-Charges’ at NTR Bhavan, the TD’s central office in Mangalagiri, the Chief Minister said the ongoing training programmes are designed to transform grassroots workers into effective leaders capable of taking the party’s message to every household. He urged party workers to develop leadership qualities through dedication and public service. He advised them to read ‘The Secret,’ saying it would help cultivate positive thinking and goal-oriented leadership. He did not elaborate on the aspect.

Naidu said success begins with determination and a positive mindset. “When a person works with conviction, the ecosystem required for achieving that goal automatically falls into place,” he said. Naidu pointed out that constructive ideas attract good people, while negativity draws similar influences.

Launching a scathing attack on YSRC, the TD national president alleged that the Opposition party had failed to fulfil its key promises, including prohibition, abolition of the contributory pension scheme (CPS) and implementation of a job calendar. He went on to accuse the previous government of weakening institutions and attempting to gain political mileage through misinformation.

Referring to criticism over the conduct of the DSC-2025 teacher recruitment examinations, Naidu said the government had effectively countered what he described as ‘false propaganda’ with evidence. He claimed the Opposition YSRC has been forced into defensive following the government’s response.

The Chief Minister said the party is regularly conducting surveys on governance, organisational performance and ticket allocation. He maintained that the future decisions would be based on public opinion and feedback from party workers. He warned that those acting against the interests of the state or the party would face action.

Highlighting the transformation of Mangalagiri into a TD stronghold, Naidu praised IT and education minister Nara Lokesh for overcoming his 2019 electoral defeat and securing victory in 2024. He observed that Lokesh has continued to work effectively for the constituency after winning the election.

Calling on party workers to take the government’s welfare and development initiatives to the people, the CM said every booth should ensure stronger support for TD than in previous elections.

Earlier, speaking briefly to the media, Naidu said cycling promotes health, environmental protection and fuel conservation. He said activities organised on the World Environment Day had successfully conveyed a positive message to the public.

The Chief Minister received petitions from visitors at the party office and assured them that their grievances would be addressed. His visit to the headquarters also drew several aspirants seeking Rajya Sabha nominations, many of whom met him during the day.
