What is Lokesh doing these days? Yes we are talking about Lokesh the son of the chief Minister of AP N Chandrababu Naidu. Lokesh is the General Secretary for the Telugu Desam party. Roja the film star and YSRC MLA once called him as pappu meaning he is a dud and good for nothing fellow.
Union Minister Venkaiah called Congress VP ,Rahul as Pappu in the parliament. Both of them are sons of big people but they are not result oriented and dont have that leader material in them. The TRS called Lokesh as Twitter Babu . Both of them dont have any thing to their credit.
But both Rahul and Lokesh want to inherit power in the near future. One is aiming for PM post and the other for a ministry first and the CM post later in the AP. It is reported that people are comparing Lokesh with the minister from Telangana KT Rama Rao who is making waves across the globe. He is being talked as a dynamic minister and has leadership qualities on par with his father KCR the creator of Telangana.
It is learnt that some ministers from AP suggested Lokesh that he must become a minister like KTR and then build his image in the media and get ready for the CM post. They are all from his bhajan mandali. They think that if Lokesh is elevated they will get due importance in the near future. Along with Lokesh some of his favorites are being inducted into the cabinet. That is the latest Buzz from Amaravathi.
TDP always was against the family rule, but now they are also part of the family rule. Balaiah MLA, Lokesh with part post and CM Babu all are from the same family. But when you make a comparison with KTR, Lokesh is no match to him. KTR is a man who grew from the Telangana agitation level, faced lathis, slept on the roads, fought with the police, went to jail and what not.
So it is better for Lokesh to work hard first rather than comparing with dynamic leaders like KTR.
