Andhra Pradesh
By Our Staff Reporter
According to the plan revealed by the TDP president and Chief Minister at the "dial your CM'' programme telecast live by a TV channel from the party office here on Saturday, party workers will contact the masses taking village as a unit during the "jenda'' (flag) programme of TDP next month and the "Intintiki Telugu Desam'' programme in January and explain to them the development in villages. They will record the impressions of the public and prepare a report for submission to the mandal party unit. A consolidated report of all villages will be prepared by the mandal unit and sent to the party observer for the Assembly constituency who will in turn draft the segment-level findings based on the reports from mandals. The feedback from observers, who will visit all the 294 Assembly constituencies to gear up the party cadre for the exercise on Monday, will form the basis for preparation of the manifesto which Mr. Naidu has chosen to describe as a "vision document''. Mr. Naidu also addressed the observers at the party office after the TV programme on Saturday. He warned them against discussing ticket to contest the polls when they visited their constituencies. There was a long time left for the job and whenever it was undertaken only people with a clean image and service orientation would be selected. Mr. Naidu also made it clear that the party would not yield to pressure in the distribution of ticket nor would it encourage groupism. The observers have a duty to clarify the party stand on groupism and the strict action it entailed. The observers would also not be spared if they too were a source of trouble. Mr. Naidu said the party would go to the polls after organising "Vijayabheri,''a major congregation in the city on the lines of Mahanadu of the party conducted in an election year. Asking the cadre to go to the public with an open mind during the jenda and Intintiki TD programmes, Mr. Naidu said they should talk about the Government's intentions to develop model villages and usher in a Swarnandhra Pradesh. They should also focus on the failures of Congress and the "unprincipled alliance it is trying to forge with the TRS as also taking the support of naxalites to come to power. None of these steps of the Congress can demoralise the TDP cadre, he said. He also asked them to enumerate voters wherever they were not done. Making a presentation on the compulsions to go for snap poll nine months ahead of the full term of the Assembly, Mr. Naidu said the decision owed much to the naxalite menace which hindered development. Industrialists did not come forward to invest in the State on account of the problem. The Congress resorted to opportunism in demanding negotiations with the naxalites. The party openly expressed solidarity with the extremists. The TRS has also declared that it would take the help of naxalites to come to power, he added. Mr. Naidu exuded confidence that the TDP would win the elections handsdown going by the success of the Guntur meeting. He reposed utmost confidence in party workers in seeing through the polls.
