Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national general secretary Nara Lokesh on December 12 (Tuesday) alleged that crime against women was on the rise in Andhra Pradesh.
He was addressing the women at Godicherla village in Payakaraopeta Assembly constituency during his ‘Yuva Galam’ padayatra in Anakapalli district. Mr. Lokesh also promised that the TDP, if voted to power, will provide free bus travel facilities for women, apart from encouraging women entrepreneurs with special incentives.
A group of women said that steps should be taken to strengthen the laws pertaining to the security of women. They also requested Mr. Lokesh to set up employment training centres and sanction loans to them on subsidy. They also sought schemes such as pension for single women and Pendli Kanuka.
Mr. Lokesh said that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy was “cheating women” in the name of Disha Act which was “not at all in existence”.
“The TDP, if comes to power, will enact legislation to ensure the security of women. The Maha Shakthi scheme will be introduced to address the problems of women,” he said.
Mr. Lokesh also promised financial assistance for every woman in the State, besides sanctioning subsidised loans to them.
