The Telugu Desam Party’s (TDP) Andhra Pradesh president Kinjarapu Atchannaidu on Monday announced that the Yuva Galam Padayatra would be resumed within a week in Konaseema, where it was put on hold after the arrest of former Chief Minister and party national president N. Chandrababu Naidu.
On September 9, TDP national general secretary Nara Lokesh had put on hold the padayatra to assist his father, Mr. Naidu, in the legal battle in the ₹371-crore A.P. Skill Development project scam case in which he was imprisoned. On Monday, Mr. Atchannaidu, Mr. Naidu’s wife Ms. Bhuvaneswari and daughter-in-law Ms. Brahmani met Mr. Naidu in the Rajahmundry Central Prison through the ‘Mulaqat’ facility.
Speaking to the media after the meeting, Mr. Atchannaidu announced, “The Yuva Galam padayatra will be resumed within a week. All the permissions will be obtained from the government to proceed with the padayatra.”
