Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has asked the Telugu Desam Party(TDP) party leaders to counter what he described as false propaganda by certain groups and individuals, and to take the government’s development initiatives and welfare measures directly to the people.

Addressing a teleconference with party leaders on Sunday, Mr. Naidu said that despite a severe financial crunch, the coalition government had been able to fulfil its mandate without compromising on welfare or development. He stressed the need to effectively counter misleading narratives.
