Twitter Babu , son of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, Nara Lokesh is to be made a member of the state Legislative Council, in a prelude to his possible induction into the AP Cabinet.
Members of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) politburo, at its meeting held here today, proposed that Lokesh be elected as an MLC under the MLAs quota in the election scheduled to be held on March 20, a party leader said.
“The list of candidates will be announced today,” TDPs politburo members Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy and K Srinivasulu said.For sometime now, there has been talk of Lokeshs possible induction into the state Cabinet.
Lokesh, currently the TDP general secretary, is not a member of either the Legislative Council or the Assembly.Since there are no vacancies in the 176-member Assembly, the only option available for him is to get elected to the Council.
Now is possibly the only chance for him to become a legislator before the tenure of this government ends in May 2019. Lokesh wife Nara Brahmani who is the daughter of Balakrishna MLA is also expected to come into active politics soon.
