TDP clears plan to set up 'Telugu Sena'

By Our Special Reporter

HYDERABAD, JULY 9. The Telugu Desam Party leadership has cleared the proposal to set up "Telugu Sena", a corps of volunteers to help in the conduct of party programmes.

Party sources said about 10 active members from each Assembly constituency were proposed to be drafted and impart training. It would formally take shape when the first batch would be in place for the Guntur Peace Rally on July 12.

The party president, Mr. N. Chandrababu Naidu, announced this at a meeting here on Saturday night. The Politburo meets every Saturday, but yesterday's meeting was attended by only two or three members apart from general secretaries and other senior functionaries.

Mr. Naidu called upon partymen to participate in a big way in the tree-planting campaign beginning Monday.
