Vijayawada: TDP national general secretary Nara Lokesh on Monday promised the voters of Mangalagiri that he and the NDA candidate for Lok Sabha Pemmasani Chandrasekhar will work like a double-engine to develop this area on a fast pace.
Lokesh and Chandrasekhar interacted with the residents of Finewood Apartments in Tadepalle in Mangalagiri Assembly segment as part of the ongoing election campaign.
They assured them that all the basic facilities like roads, underground drainage, drinking water and Rythu Bazaars will be provided for the Mangalagiri people that will meet their needs for another 20 years.
“We have the masterplan to develop this area to create all the necessary basic amenities and we will take Mangalagiri on a fast development pace if you all elect both of us with a huge majority,” Lokesh said.
Only two families have been ruling Mangalagiri for the past 25 years, he said and asked whether there is any kind of development in this area during this period. The local MLA Alla Rama Krishna Reddy has in fact taken Mangalagiri back by filing false cases against the locals, he alleged, adding not even a single drain has been built during this period.
As the works to provide safe drinking water for the locals were launched during the TDP regime, Jagan Mohan Reddy after becoming the Chief Minister brought all these works to a grinding halt, Lokesh pointed out. The situation is so pathetic that even water facility could not be provided for All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS) in Mangalagiri, he regretted.
