Since, TDP president Chandrababu Naidu’s 7 month long Vastunna Meekosam Padayatra is to be concluded on 27th of April at Vizag city, TDP has planned to erect a huge pylon marking successful completion of the event. TDP leaders have started construction of the pylon at Vadlapudi in the outskirts of the city. However, the work was halted with Vizag Steel Plant Authorities claiming ownership of the land, which is obtained from by TDP from MS Chakravarti, the former Mayor of Rajhamundry. Hence, TDP has purchased another site measuring 780 square yards at Sivaji Nagar in near by area and started work afresh.

TDP Urban convener Vasupalli Ganesh said “This time, we have started the work only after verifying and confirming the ownership documents of the site. We will speed-up the project as there is hardly 9 days left to meet the deadline of 27th April. The project is estimated to be around 2.6 crores including the land cost. Our party leader Sujana Chowdary is funding this project.”

The venue of the public meeting to be held by Chandrababu on the concluding day was also changed to Andhra University Engineering College grounds, from the Municipal stadium. After unveiling the pylon around 3pm on 27th April, he will reach the meeting venue followed by a huge procession. TDP is erecting 50 Arches in a short distance of 15km welcoming its president to the city. Total 6 committees were formed by local leaders, which were given separate tasks like pylon construction, meeting arrangements, public relations, mobilizing of people etc. TDP is making elaborate arrangements to make the event grand success.

Although all the senior leaders are expected to join this grand event of TDP, it was not known whether TDP will invite Harikrishna and his son Jr.NTR to the meeting to showcase the unity among TDP and NTR family members. Even if they were invited, they both may not accept their invitation as it may turn into an embarrassing situation for them both.
