The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has announced Rs 2 lakh financial assistance for the Dalit minor girl who was kidnapping and gang-raped in Rajahmundry.
TDP National President and former Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu also promised to adopt the 16-year-old girl and give her a good education on behalf of the party.
“The society has a responsibility to mould the hapless girl into a dutiful citizen who would carry on her fight against such injustices,” said Naidu.
Earlier a fact-finding committee of TDP consisting of former ministers and MLAs visited the victim’s town and met the family. The team then submitted its report to the party chief.
Learning about the horrific details of the case, Naidu announced Rs 2 lakh assistance for the minor girl.
“As the girl has studied up to Class 10, the TDP chief announced that the party would take care of her future education. There was a strong need to create confidence in the girl,” said the party.
The TDP chief also asked party leaders to strongly agitate against such atrocities in the state.
