The Prince of TDP, Nara Lokesh has been transforming himself from being a trolled politician to a young leader in the last couple of years. The ex-Minister of IT is displaying a lot of courage for the upcoming elections of 2024 with his firm decisions.
Lokesh entered into active politics in 2014 and became a Minister in his father CBN’s tenure but later lost as an MLA in 2019 when he contested in the constituency of Mangalagiri. The place was proved to be anti-TDP as none of the leaders displaying the symbol of cycle won since 1989. Meanwhile, the YSRCP is looking forward to troubling Lokesh even before the elections by bringing in the ex-TDP leader Ganji Chiranjeevi as the sitting YSRCP MLA Alla Rama Krishna Reddy is not on good terms with the boss Jagan. Ganji belongs to the local weaver’s community, which has a major chunk in the vote bank within the constituency.
Even with all these tactics, Lokesh is well determined to contest from the same Mangalagiri constituency as an MLA without falling into the community vote bank politics of YSRCP. His close associates claim that their leader is spending a lot of his own funds on many social services within the constituency and they would give a chance for TDP this time. One has to wait and see if the weavers opt for Lokesh this time or not.
