Kadapa: The ruling Telugu Desam Party is all set to begin its three-day annual Mahanadu in Kadapa from May 27.

TDP is holding Mahanadu with an aim to build a progressive and inclusive Andhra Pradesh. Cadres from across the state have already begun to arrive in Kadapa, which has been turned into a sea of yellow with flags, banners, and hoardings adorning streets, buildings, and intersections. The event is expected to draw over five lakh people on the final day public meeting alone.

Speaking ahead of the event, Union Minister Kinjarapu Ram Mohan Naidu described Mahanadu as a “major festival that unites the Telugu Desam Party family.” He urged all “Pasupu Sainyam” (TDP cadre) to participate in large numbers and celebrate the victory that has redefined political equations in the state.

Home Minister Vangalapudi Anitha said, “The Mahanadu will be remembered forever by everyone in the state as it will be historic.”

I&PR Minister Kollusu Parthasarathy said, “Mahanadu is not just a party meeting—it’s a festival of Telugu unity.”

TDP Spokesperson Jyothsna Tirunagari said, “This is a celebration for us, it's just like a TDP family gathering. It takes place on the eve of Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao’s birthday. During the event, all party members come together to reflect on their achievements over the past year and discuss plans for the future.”
