TDP Chief Chandrababu Naidu’s son, and the party’s National General Secretary, Nara Lokesh, has been maintaining his own team of members since the party came to power in the 2014 general elections. He even had a separate social media team that was more of a personal army, than party loyalists, who even spied on the senior members of the party.
Ever since then, there have been differences between the senior members of the party, and Lokesh. Being Chandrababu’s colleagues, senior members of the party feel that they should be given as much importance by Lokesh, and shouldn’t be looked down upon by Lokesh. Some senior leaders have even made some remarks against Lokesh in this matter, which aren’t good for the party, going forward.
Given that Lokesh has pretty much reinvented himself in the recent past, and is making his speeches with a lot of clarity over his subject matter, and also the fact that he’s appealing to the youth more these days, it is being said that Chandrababu has decided to step in and ease out the differences between Lokesh and the senior leaders of the party.
