Nara Lokesh was in the middle of the people for more than 200 days. He walked from Kuppam to Rajahmundry for around 3,000 Kilometers and the Padayatra had to be paused after Chandrababu got arrested.
The Padayatra was the first time Lokesh had unleashed himself completely to the people. Until then, it was mostly about the false propaganda I-PAC unleashed and many people trusted it too.
Lokesh ignored it completely when he was a Minister and focused only on work. As a result, he had to pay a hefty price losing his first-ever election. So, the Padayatra was a table-turner for Lokesh.
Padayatra definitely worked but it is still a political event for a section of people. Many people may not have watched it or got an impression of Lokesh from it. But one single day did more good than all those 200+ days for Lokesh.
The other day, Lokesh is in Delhi attending multiple National Media debates. The Arnab Goswami show in particular got huge traction. Since these are high-profile political days in Andhra Pradesh, the complete attention of the public is towards leaders like Lokesh and Pawan Kalyan.
The way Lokesh effortlessly spoke English and facts and the way he handled a tough nut like Arnab was very impressive. Many people were actually watching him speak like that for the first time and were seen praising him.
Except for YSR Congress people, there is an overwhelmingly positive opinion about Lokesh after Arnab’s show. The videos of the debate have gone viral on social media too.
YSR Congress camp is trying to be in denial and pluck hairs on eggs but the fact remains that it is Lokesh who scored the goal. One Single day has done more good to Lokesh than those 200+ days.
Unfortunately, it has come at that time when he can not enjoy the moment.
