Telugu Desam Party leader and Andhra Pradesh Human Resource Development Minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao of Andhra Pradesh addressed the spectators at Mahanadu, configured for the first time in Dallas.

"Telugu Desam Party has been executing a number of programs to get Non-Resident Indians closer to their native soil whilst functioning for the well-being of them. NRIs play a key role in the expansion of digital classrooms and other development programs under the state government. The Telugu Desam Party has fulfilled all election assures and I will be expecting you to all work for the success of Telugu Desam Party in succeeding election," said minister at the event.

However, there is an incessant taunting regarding Ganta attending Mahanadu happening in Dallas instead in attendance at Vijayawada. There are as well gossips of Ganta most probably joining YSR Congress Party which is going from strength to strength in the state.

A further ground for short turnout of people from the district at Mahanadu, Vijayawada is the decision of Naidu to hold Dharma Porata Deeksha in Vishakapatnam.
