HYDERABAD: Describing the TDP as a “28-year-old youthful party” in contrast to the 125-year-old Congress, its president, N. Chandrababu Naidu, renewed his membership and formally launched the drive to enrol new members into the party here on Monday.
Speaking to the media, he launched a scathing attack on the ruling party saying it had failed in protecting river water rights and in implementing welfare measures.
While the city remained peaceful when the TDP was in power, communal riots had broken out under Congress rule.
Talks tough
Asking party functionaries to expedite the membership drive, he said that leaders who neglect the enrolment process would not be spared, while those who work efficiently would be accorded importance in the party.
He wanted priority to be given in enrolling youth, women and weaker sections.
Mr. Naidu urged party cadres to work in close rapport with the people and solve their problems.
Workshops
He warned that stringent action would be taken if groups were encouraged. In a bid to develop effective leadership, he said that training workshops would be organised for 15,000 area in-charges.
There would be recognition to those who work as Parliament, Assembly constituency and area in-charges even if they happen to be State-level leaders. He termed as “bankruptcy” the call given by leaders of some parties to obstruct the TDP's membership drive.
