India Today Impact: TDP offers help to 8-yr-old Andhra boy and visually impaired parents

After India Today reported about 8-year-old Gopal Krishna driving an e-auto to feed his visually impaired parents, TDP national general secretary Nara Lokesh came forward to help the family.


Hours after India Today reported about an eight-year-old boy driving an electric auto to feed his visually impaired parents in Andhra Pradesh's Chittoor, TDP national general secretary Nara Lokesh announced to offer them help.

Making the announcement on Twitter on Friday, MLC Nara Lokesh said that his party would be getting the child admitted to school besides helping the family cover the auto's EMI cost through a fundraiser towards which TDP will contribute Rs. 50,000.

Chittoor is the home district of Chandrababu Naidu, and he represents Kuppam Assembly constituency of the district.

 

Earlier in the day, India Today had reported that Gopal Krishna drives the e-auto to make ends meet as his parents sell groceries in Chandragiri town, which is not enough to feed the family. He is the eldest sibling in the family.

 

A student of Class III, Gopal, drives the vehicle in his free time and is seen taking his mother and father to the spot where they sell groceries in his school uniform every day.

 

Parvati, Gopal's mother, has appealed to the government to help her children in completing their education.

 

"We want the government to increase our pension. Currently, we get only Rs 3,000 as a pension. We would be grateful if the government also provides us with a house and help in the education of our kids," Parvati urged.

 

Recently, police caught Gopal for underage driving but released the vehicle after getting an assurance that he would not drive it again.

Yamuna’s Perennial Toxic Saga: A Critical Issue For Delhi

Yamuna's plight raises questions about accountability and the effectiveness of governmental commitments to environmental supervision As the festive season approaches, the Yamuna river remains a focal point in the national capital, marred by extreme pollution despite repeated electoral promises. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), led by former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, has continually vowed to clean this river.

Notably, soon after coming to power in 2015, Kejriwal had promised to clean the river and said, “We will revive Yamuna within five years.” Then again in 2021, Kejriwal reiterated the promise to rejuvenate the Yamuna and said that he will take a dip in the river in February 2025. Then in 2020, Delhi’s then water minister Satyendra Jain claimed that the Delhi government was committed to revive the river within next three-four years. In November 2021, K...
