The political trajectory of Nara Lokesh in Andhra Pradesh has taken a quite shocking turn as voices for his future role in the state’s leadership have gained momentum. Even with his likely appointment as Deputy Chief Minister, at times, the possibility was thought that he might be considered for the position of Prime Minister of India.
Ganta Ravi Teja’s Bold Statement
Ganta Ravi Teja, the son of senior TDP leader and Bhimili MLA Ganta Srinivasa Rao, recently found fame for comments that he made in relation to Nara Lokesh’s political career. Speaking at an interaction with the media, he asked everybody one question: “Why shouldn’t Nara Lokesh become Prime Minister?” He said that Lokesh was a leader inspiring the youth not only in Andhra Pradesh but beyond, as well, for a huge impact not only in the state but the nation at large.
“While there are discussions about making Lokesh the Deputy CM, I believe he has the caliber to rise to the position of Prime Minister. He is exactly the kind of leader India needs in the future,” Ravi Teja emphasized, further fueling the buzz around Lokesh’s political aspirations.
TDP’s Internal Reactions and Statewide Debate
Ravi Teja’s comments have sparked intense discussions within the TDP as well as in the wider political landscape. The initial conversations about making Lokesh the Deputy CM had already caused a stir, but now, the idea of him advancing to the role of Prime Minister has taken the debate to new heights. Many within the TDP are questioning whether these comments were a strategic move or simply a tactic to gain attention.
Jana Sena’s Counter and TDP’s Internal Struggles
As discussions about Lokesh’s political future intensify, Jana Sena has responded by advocating for Pawan Kalyan as the next potential Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. Meanwhile, TDP leader TG Bharat’s statement during the Davos summit, referring to Lokesh as a “future CM,” reportedly sparked tension with party chief Chandrababu Naidu, adding complexity to the leadership debate within the TDP.
Ravi Teja’s latest remarks have only added more fuel to the fire, leaving TDP leaders questioning the intention behind these comments and whether they were made to make a political statement or simply for publicity.
