The programme was aimed at gathering the opinion of intellectuals such as doctors, engineers and lawyers to utilise their experience for the progress of the state, Naidu said, addressing the seminar.

According to the TDP chief, if issues such as caste, creed and religion are taken into consideration, then goals cannot be achieved.

Elaborating on his recently unveiled ‘Vision 2047’ plan, the former chief minister said he had made five key proposals, including about the energy sector.

Naidu promised that power charges will be immediately slashed once TDP returns to power, and claimed that the tariff was never hiked during the TDP regime. He further claimed that the incumbent government had revised the rates eight times in the past four years.
