TDP general secretary Nara Lokesh appears to have lost his composure following the arrest of his father, N Chandrababu Naidu.
Lokesh, who entered politics with his father’s support and later became a minister, now perceives himself as a significant leader. However, his electoral track record is less than stellar; he lost the 2019 Assembly election in Mangalagiri, Guntur district, and his victory in 2024 is far from guaranteed.
His position as the party's general secretary is largely due to his father's influence rather than his own leadership qualities.
Despite starting the Yuva Galam padayatra in his capacity as the party's general secretary, his public speeches and press statements often reveal his lack of experience.
His recent statement regarding the government attempting to provide steroids to his father, Chandrababu Naidu, in jail is baffling. He also mentioned his father's discomfort due to mosquitoes and heat in the Rajamahendravaram central jail.
One might wonder what Lokesh expects for his father in jail. Does he demand an air-conditioned room, luxurious furniture, or a refrigerator? If provided, would it be a jail or a hotel?
Chandrababu Naidu already has the privilege of home-cooked meals. Does Lokesh expect five-star facilities for his father in jail?
Furthermore, why would anyone consider giving steroids to Chandrababu Naidu, who is in his 70s? It's time for Lokesh to think rationally!
