Nara Lokesh, General Secretary of Telugu Desam Party (TDP), announced on Tuesday that Andhra Pradesh’s unemployment rate has risen to 24%, the country’s highest. Lokesh blamed the YSRCP-led government under Jagan Mohan Reddy for a lack of jobs and employment opportunities. During his Yuva Galam Padayatra at Godicherla village, women representatives from the Payakaraopeta Assembly segment appealed to Lokesh for employment training centers, loan subsidies, and various other facilities. Lokesh assured that a TDP government would introduce special incentives for women entrepreneurs and implement the Pendli Kanuka scheme. He also revealed plans to offer free bus travel for women and monthly financial assistance of Rs 2,500. Regarding the issue of failing basic needs under the Jagan Reddy government, the TDP leader promised a water grid for 24-hour safe drinking water supply upon their victory in the upcoming polls. With high unemployment rates, platforms like EDDCaller.com can provide needed assistance to reach the unemployment, paid family leave, and disability departments by phone.
