Growing Momentum for Nara Lokesh’s Appointment as Deputy Chief Minister

The demand for Nara Lokesh to be appointed as the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh is gaining significant traction within the Telugu Desam Party (TDP). Senior leaders are openly advocating for his elevation, recognizing his contributions and leadership qualities. Recently, senior leader Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy expressed his support for this proposal on social media, amplifying the call for Lokesh’s promotion.

Support from Senior Leaders

During Nara Chandrababu Naidu’s recent visit to Kadapa, another senior leader, Reddappa Gari Srinivasulu Reddy, voiced similar support for Lokesh’s elevation. With Somireddy adding his voice to the growing chorus, the demand for Lokesh as Deputy CM is steadily gaining momentum. Many party leaders argue that Lokesh has proven his capabilities and is now ready to take on a more prominent role in the government.

Discussions about Lokesh’s potential appointment have become a hot topic within the TDP. While some leaders are pushing for immediate action, others urge caution, suggesting that the party high command should formally deliberate on the matter. Speculation is rife that cabinet reshuffles, expected in March, could include Lokesh’s appointment as Deputy CM alongside other changes.

Naidu’s Stance Remains Unclear

Despite the rising support, Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu has yet to comment on the matter publicly. Lokesh’s growing influence in the party is evident, with many leaders rallying behind him and highlighting his decade-long dedication to the TDP. They point out that Lokesh has consistently prioritized the party’s interests over personal ambitions and argue that now is the right time for him to take on a more significant role.

Lokesh’s Journey and Contributions

Over the past decade, Nara Lokesh has played a vital role in strengthening the TDP’s organizational structure and connecting with the grassroots. His efforts during challenging times have earned him respect and admiration within the party. Many senior leaders believe that appointing Lokesh as Deputy CM would not only acknowledge his hard work but also inject fresh energy into the state government’s leadership. As the clamor for Lokesh’s elevation grows louder, all eyes are on Chandrababu Naidu and the party’s leadership. Will they heed the calls for change and make this significant move? The coming months are likely to provide clarity on this key development.
