Telugu Desam Party general secretary and Andhra Pradesh IT minister Nara Lokesh is just five years old in politics and he has hardly started speaking confidently in public.
It was only last year that he was inducted into the cabinet and he is yet to learn the art of governance, though the opposition parties alleged that he has mastered the tricks of making money through politics. So, it looks too ridiculous for the people to even visualising him as the chief minister of the state.
But some TDP leaders have this wishful thinking. Take for example, former minister Peethala Sujatha.
Having lost her cabinet berth last year, Sujatha is desperately trying to come back into the post by pampering TDP president and chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu and his son Nara Lokesh.
Participating at the Grama Darshini meeting held Nelamuru village of Penumantra mandal in West Godavari district, Sujatha made a sensational prediction saying Lokesh would become the next chief minister of Andhra Pradesh. But what about Chandrababu Naidu?
She said Naidu would move to the Centre and play a very crucial role in the national politics after 2019.
Lokesh, who was also present at the meeting, did not stop her when she was making the comments. May be he was also thinking that there was such a possibility in the coming days!
