TDP leader launches motorcycle rally from Tirupati to Varanasi

Telugu Desam Party state president Palla Srinivasa Rao flagged off a motorcycle rally from Tirupati to Varanasi on Wednesday as part of an event marking Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 25 years in public office. The Seva Sankalp Yatra was organised by the Telugu Nadu Students Federation. It began at Alipiri, at the foot of the Tirumala hills, and includes 25 riders travelling to Varanasi, the constituency represented by Mr.

Modi. The rally is scheduled to pass through Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh before reaching Varanasi on October 8. The organisers presented the route as linking two places of religious significance.

Mr. Srinivasa Rao, who is also the MLA for Gajuwaka, said people-centred governance by the National Democratic Alliance would continue with public support. He referred to Mr.

Modi’s leadership at the Centre and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s leadership in the State. “The country and the state have leadership committed to working with dedication in public life,” he said, according to The Hindu.

He said there was a continuing need to work for public life, nation-building and the strengthening of society. The event was held by party workers in Tirupati and formed part of the wider yatra. The supplied report did not provide further details about the rally’s route arrangements, expected public events or the duration of the journey beyond its planned arrival date.

The motorcycle procession comes as the TDP state president used the occasion to emphasise the party’s support for the NDA leadership at both the national and state levels. No opposition response or independent assessment of the event was included in the source material.
