Naidu’s wife Nara Bhuvaneshwari and Lokesh’s wife Nara Brahmani, who have never shown interest in politics but focussed only on running the family enterprise Heritage Group of Companies, have been extensively touring the constituencies of their respective husbands, reaching out to various sections of people.

On Saturday, Bhuvaneshwari celebrated her husband’s 74th birthday amid women of Muslim minority community in Kuppam. Addressing a gathering of Muslim women after cutting a cake, she shared the vision of Naidu to develop the constituency on all fronts.

She assured that the guarantees promised by Naidu would benefit all sections of people and most importantly, free them of the atrocities of the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSCRP). “It is shocking how the state government has not been appointing teachers for Urdu in schools for minority children,” she said.

Accusing the ruling YSRCP of indulging in rampant corruption and encroaching upon Wakf lands, Bhuvaneshwari said even spaces designated for religious and burial purposes were also not spared from encroachments.

On Friday, Bhuvaneshwari led a massive rally of party leaders and workers to file the nomination on behalf of her husband at the office of returning officer of Kuppam. She said Kuppam is the bastion of the TDP and there was no place for any other party. She exuded confidence that Naidu would win the seat with an overwhelming majority of over one lakh votes.

On the other hand, Brahmani launched the campaign for her husband Lokesh in Mangalagiri assembly constituency. On Friday, she interacted with weavers of Mangalagiri town, known for its textile industry, and assured to resolve all their issues, once the TDP is voted to power.

She held a meeting with mirchi farmers at Yerrabalem village of Mangalagiri block on Saturday and discussed with them the problems being faced by them.

She visited Sandhya spices company at Yerrabalem, where the red chilli is processed, to interact with the workers.

Brahmani said Naidu and Lokesh had been striving hard for improving the living conditions of the people in the state. “They have given a lot of importance for the empowerment of women. The super six guarantees announced by the TDP would help womenfolk achieve self-reliance,” she said.
