Telugu Desam Party (TDP) general secretary Nara Lokesh said that if voted to power, their party would ensure the formation of an exclusive corporation that would be tasked with ensuring the welfare of the large number of workers in the motor transport sector, and added that all steps would be taken for the sector’s revival, including the Auto Nagars.
Addressing a meeting of various stakeholders in the transport sector as part of his Yuva Galam padayatra, in Vijayawada city on Sunday, Mr. Lokesh said the State government’s vindictive attitude has driven away companies like Amara Raja Batteries Limited, which was the highest taxpayer in the transport-related field in the State. No new industries have in the last four-and-a-half years as the conditions for industries ceased to be conducive after Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy took the reins of the State, Mr. Lokesh alleged.
