Anakapalli : Listening to the woes of women, youth and community helpers and learning about the problems faced by the farmers, TDP national general secretary Nara Lokesh continued his Yuva Galam padayatra in Anakapalli district on Friday.

Giving confidence to scores of people who reached out to him with grievances, Lokesh assures them that he would look into resolving their problems once the TDP returns to power along with the JSP alliance.

During the padayatra, a woman was seen offering a sweet to Lokesh as she considered him as a family member. Meanwhile a tenant farmer, Appa Rao, brought to the notice of Lokesh that his tobacco crop was damaged and he did not get even a single rupee from the government as compensation.
