Andhra Pradesh: Lokesh vows to adopt weavers if Telugu Desam Party comes to power

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national general secretary N. Lokesh on June 9 (Friday) said he would adopt the weavers in Annnamayya district if his party was voted to power in the 2024 elections.

“Apart from giving 200 units of power free of cost to each powerloom unit, the weavers will be given subsidies on yarn and dye,” Mr. Lokesh said while addressing a public meeting at Siddavatam, 45 km from here.
