TDP finalises `Pancha Sutra' at mahanadu

Staff Reporter

RAJAHMUNDRY: The Telugu Desam Party wrapped up its three-day mahanadu here finalising a five-point agenda, "Pancha Sutra", covering welfare of farmers, women, youth, labour and commitment to secularism.

This would be the party's guiding charter in the coming months, enabling the party to return to power, party president N. Chandrababu Naidu declared in his concluding remarks. At the organisational level, emphasis would be laid on decentralisation and allocating more powers to party leaders from the village to the State level.

"The Rajahmundry resolutions will play a historic role in our objective to win the confidence of various sections of people. We now need to dedicate ourselves to the service of these sections and the poor as a responsible Opposition," he added.
