The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has decided to move closer to people, by organizing a mass contact program 'Palle Palleku Telugu Desam' from October 10th.

According to the details emerging from the Telugu Desam Party politburo meeting convened at NTR Trust Bhavan under the chairmanship of its president N Chandrababu Naidu, the party took a decision to raise the issue of neglect of people during the last 6 years of Congress rule, in the 'Palle Palleku' program.

During the program, the party will primarily focus on alleged irregularities in dubious land dealings of APIIC-Emmar, Jalayagnam works and farmers' problems.

The TDP president will cover the entire state as part of this program. The TDP feels the program would help the party leadership to gain first-hand knowledge of the people's problems and strengthen the party base among people.

The party also made it clear that the TDP was not against the formation of Telangana state.

"The TDP is encouraging its party cadre to respect the sentiments of the Telangana people," Naidu is believed to have told the party politburo.

"Some vested interests have been targeting TDP and projecting that it was against Telangana," Naidu reportedly said.
