"Following the instructions of former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, TDP leaders handed over a cheque for Rs. 2 lakh to Prasad and said that financial assistance was being provided to him to help him gain confidence in his struggle for getting justice," the statement said, adding that TDP former legislator Pendurthy Venkatesh, youth leader Adireddy Srinivas, SC Corporation former director Navin Kumar and other leaders expressed their solidarity to the tonsure victim.
"The party will stick to its tradition of standing by the weaker sections and backward communities in their hour of crisis. It has been the avowed goal of the TDP to ensure the financial stability and freedom of the weaker sections in the State," the statement said.
