PEOPLE ANGRY WITH POLITICAL PARTIES FOR NOT GIVING KALAM A SECOND TERM, SAYS CHANDRABABU NAIDU

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) President N Chandrababu Naidu claimed on Saturday that the people were angry with political parties, who were not extending support to President A P J Abdul Kalam for a second term for the Presidential post.

Talking to newspersons in Hyderabad, he said the people of the country favoured a second term for Dr Kalam, who was a man of the masses, and UNPA leaders had approached almost all the parties for their support for the President.

However, Naidu said the UNPA would not support the candidature of the Presidential nominees of the UPA and the NDA. He said the TDP would serve the public through the NTR Trust. NTR memorial schools and hospitals would be established in every district, and NRIs would be involved in the programme, he added.

Later, the TDP Chief inaugurated a mobile health van for providing medical assistance to the poor people as part of the NTR Trust Social Service.
