The Telugu Desam president, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, who returned from the US after a brief visit, is all set to revamp the party from Thursday. Mr Naidu has planned a three-day workshop to which he has invited all party leaders, including MPs, MLAs, defeated candidates and others. It is aimed at giving a fillip to the party’s programmes and policies.
Mr Naidu has planned to have 10 groups, each consisting of 30 members, to discuss pre- and post-poll issues and suggest steps to strengthen the party.The groups will submit a report to the party president on how to steer the party in the coming days. They will also suggest what public issues are to be taken up. “The whole idea is to rejuvenate the party from the grassroot level and prepare it by next elections,” a senior party leader said.
Meanwhile, the TD opposed the Centre’s decision to ban Maoists throughout the country and labelling them as terrorists.“Labelling Maoists as terrorists is wrong. The ban will not serve any purpose,” said Mr Kadiam Srihari, senior TD leader.
Asked if it supported or opposed ban on Maoists, he quipped: “It’s implied.”He said the Centre should not consider the Maoist problem as a mere law and order issue and look into the social aspect.
