Former Minister for Municipal Administration and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) candidate for Nellore City Assembly constituency, Ponguru Narayana, said he would upskill volunteers depending on their qualifications to make them ‘industry-ready’. Around 100 volunteers resigned from their posts and joined the TDP in his presence here on Friday.
While posing for a group photograph after formally draping the TDP shawl, many volunteers attempted to conceal their identities by draping a veil, seemingly not to anger the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), while Mr. Narayana assured that the party would safeguard their interests.
The development arrived at a time when the YSRCP claimed that the TDP was against the continuation of the volunteer system and even attributed the recent deaths of senior citizens to the TDP’s plea to keep the volunteers away from the disbursement process.
