KADAPA: Telugu Desam Party observer Gorantla Butchaiah Chowdary called upon the party cadre on Monday to propagate the State Government’s failures.

Addressing an extensive party meeting here, he said efforts were on to strengthen the party in Kadapa district. TDP leaders and activists would tour rural and urban areas from September 6 and would campaign against irregularities in Government schemes and misuse of benefits given to ineligible persons. He directed steps to strengthen TDP from the village level.

Crores of rupees sanctioned by the Government for development activities in the district was being misused, he alleged. Mr. Chowdary charged Congressmen with usurping funds and resorting to irregularities.
