What is TDP general secretary and former minister Nara Lokesh doing these days, particularly ahead of his much-awaited Padayatra?
He is not seen much these days in Andhra Pradesh. He is sitting in the NTR Trust Bhavan and runs a team comprising a handful of journalists and IT professionals. They work on press releases, speeches, and tweets for Lokesh.
Besides, what Lokesh and his team does is that they have been promoting people to start web channels and youtube channels.
The team is after some journalists and IT professionals offering them juicy pay either to start the new channels or turn their existing channels in favour of the TDP.
The team is also knocking at the doors of the journalists working for other web channels, news portals and youtube channels.
Lokesh is offering them big money every month asking them to establish themselves in social media.
All that he wants is that everyone should work for the TDP from six months before the 2024 general elections.
He wants these journalists and IT professionals to lead a negative campaign against the YSR Congress and a campaign in favour of the TDP.
It is to be seen how far this incubation would help Lokesh win the elections!
