Chinna Babu aka Nara Lokesh, who was earlier criticized for his public statements and lack of proper strategy, seems to have changed. Lokesh has worked upon himself and also adopted a strategy that appears to be working for him and earning him brownie points politically.
Of late, Lokesh has been targeting Narendra Modi but no one else. Although once in a while, he takes dig at Opposition leader Jagan, TDP and Lokesh are smartly targeting only Modi and is cashing in on the anti-Modi sentiment among the people, particularly among the people of Andhra Pradesh who were raging over BJP’s denial of the Special Category Status and 18 other bifurcation promises to the truncated state.
Lokesh, who is the present IT and Panchayat Raj Minister and considered as the political successor of Chandrababu in future, has also hired a Telugu tutor to improve his public speaking in Telugu. Lokesh also turning rhetoric and making statements such as Karnataka result is just “trailer” for the BJP and the “picture abhi baaki hai” for BJP are winning the hearts of masses. Lokesh said that the film would be out in 2019 with its results.
Step-by-step, Lokesh is improving which is also making TDP leaders happy. However, Lokesh himself made it clear that Chandrababu Naidu is their leader and he will be the CM in 2019 as well. Lokesh said Naidu would continue to be the CM of AP.
