Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national general secretary Nara Lokesh said that after TDP–Jana Sena Party (JSP) forms the government, they will strive to create 20 lakh jobs in the next five years and will ensure that youth do not migrate to other States in search of employment.
Mr. Lokesh was speaking to unemployed youth at Mulakapalli village under Yelamanchali constituency during his ‘Yuva Galam’ in Anakapalli district here on Wednesday. He said that under ‘Yuva Galam fund’, unemployed youth would also be provided a financial assistance of ₹3,000 till they got a job. He said that priority would be given to the locals to get placed in the local companies/industries.
Mr. Lokesh continued his 221st day of Yuva Galam at various villages under Payakaraopeta and Yelamanchili constituencies. He held interactive meetings with workers of Etikoppaka Sugar Factory, fishermen community, coir industry workers, unemployed youth, Bar Association members, fishermen displaced villagers and a few others.
Mr. Lokesh distributed ‘Bhavishyattu Ki Guarantee’ cards to several policemen on duty during the ‘Yuva Galam’ programme under Yelamanchali Assembly Constituency in Anakapalli district.
He said that after the TDP–Jana Sena Party (JSP) formed the government, all issues pertaining to the police department would be resolved. He alleged that the YSRCP government had kept the TA and DA of the police personnel pending and there were deductions in the allowances.
During the meeting, Etikoppaka Sugar Factory workers said that the payment of their salaries for the past 16 months had been pending. In the representation submitted by them, they stated that before elections, Mr. Jagan had promised them that he would initiate steps to revive sugar factories, but had failed to honour it.
Mr. Lokesh said that immediately after the TDP forms the government all the dues of the employees would be cleared and the past glory of the sugar factories would be revived.
Hampi, the UNESCO-recognised historical site, was the capital of the Vijayanagara empire from 1336 to 1565. Foreign travellers from Persia, Europe and other parts of the world have chronicled the wealth of the place and the unique cultural mores of this kingdom built on the banks of the Tungabhadra river. There are fine descriptions to be found of its temples, farms, markets and trading links, remnants of which one can see in the ruins now. The Literature, architecture of this era continue inspire awe.
Unfurling the zine handed to us at the start of the walk, we use brightly-coloured markers to draw squiggly cables across the page, starting from a sepia-toned vintage photograph of the telegraph office. Iz, who goes by the pronouns they/them, explains, “This building is still standing, though it shut down in 2013,” they say, pointing out that telegraphy, which started in Bengaluru in 1854, was an instrument of colonial power and control. “The British colonised lands via telegraph cables, something known as the All Red Line.”
