In Andhra Pradesh, the Anna canteen established by the opposition Telugudesam Party (TDP) has come under scrutiny. Nara Lokesh, the national general secretary of the TDP, has attacked the YSRCP, the party in power, claiming that it is impeding the party's admirable effort to aid the underprivileged. The ruling party's cadre is accused of obstructing Anna Canteen's operations in Nandigama, Mangalgiri, Kuppam, and now Tenali, according to a TDP MLC. He has harshly criticised the police presence in the area of the market complex. Nara Lokesh has stated categorically that they will open Anna Canteen regardless of the challenges.
