Nara Lokesh turned 41 today. The Young Turk turned the attention of the entire Indian Polity towards him this June when he registered a victory with a sensational majority. Many leaders may have achieved Lokesh’s 91,413 votes majority or even more but none of them will be as special as his.

Lokesh faced the most malicious campaign between 2014 and 2019 to tarnish his image. He was degraded as ‘Pappu’ despite being one of the most successful ministers in all his portfolios across the country between 2014 and 2019. The result is a defeat in 2019.

And from there, he walked more than 32,00 Kilometers to bring the party into power and show his real side to the Public. The 91,413 votes majority did not come in a TDP bastion or a seat where his community is decisive. It is a seat which was never won by Telugu Desam Party for 39 years straight.

And what lies ahead for Lokesh now?

The TDP cadre today wants him to lead the party and state just like his father.

For any Political leader aspiring that position, he should have political acumen and administration skills.

The Administrative skills we have seen during his successful tenure as the Minister for IT, Panchayati Raj and Rural development.

Lokesh was leading the TDP between 2019 and 2024 even though Naidu was the face. The entire TDP ecosystem also knows that. Even the Opposition acknowledges that but to attribute the bad to Lokesh but that’s a different story.

To lead a party in its most darkest times facing a very hostile Government which only believed in Bulldozers and Friday Arrests is the biggest triumphs for anyone. Lokesh did that and he walked for more than 3,200 Kilometers to take the party closer to the people.

The only way to stop him was to arrest Chandrababu Naidu. Troops will get scattered if there is no leader. But Lokesh stood his ground strong and lead the party in difficult times. The five years term is a testimony to his grit and more importantly, the political acumen a leader should possess.

A leader should be both easy and hard according to the situations. Lokesh is someone who can call Pawan Kalyan as ‘Pawan Anna’ at times and can also stand his ground firmly when needed (Remember how he said it is Pawan Kalyan’s Personal Opinion in the recent TTD Issue).

So when will the time come for Lokesh?

We have seen the TDP leaders and cadres demand that Lokesh be made the Deputy Chief Minister with immediate effect. Naidu, for now, seems to have pushed the issue to Cold Storage to set his focus on bigger priorities pertaining to the state.

But neither the demands will stop nor Lokesh himself will stop.

Destiny will always choose the right position and right time. Chandrababu Naidu became an MLA for the first time on Congress Ticket. It was Congress Party that made him a Minister for the first time.

A leader born and brought up in Congress was never meant to lead the TDP or become the Chief Minister from the party that was established with Anti-Congress ideology.

Even if he is eligible as NT Ramarao’s Son-in-law. NTR’s another Son-in-law, Daggubati Venkateswara Rao was an equally strong contender in the TDP back then.

But then, Destiny chose Chandrababu Naidu. Destiny has better plans for him come what may, leave what people say!

It is destined that Chandrababu Naidu will become the Chief Minister who will lead Andhra Pradesh for the most number of years.

It is destined that he will change the face of the an agrarian state towards IT and Urbanization.




On similar lines, Destiny will choose the best position for Lokesh at an appropriate time.
