Chief Minister YS Jagan is known for his straightforwardness, unbothered by others' opinions, and bold in expressing his thoughts. When he decides to take action, he does so without hesitation, disregarding external perspectives.
Followers of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) claim that their young leader, Nara Lokesh, shares this fearless demeanor.
Lokesh believes that employing traditional political strategies, like those of his father, against Jagan will not be effective. Taking a page from Jagan's book, Lokesh aims to adopt a determined and resolute approach.
The Red Book, a product of Lokesh's thoughts, was written during the Padayatra. In this book, he details officials and YCP leaders who allegedly mistreated his party members.
Lokesh presented the Red Book to his father, Chandrababu Naidu, during the Padayatra Vijayotsava Sabha, urging him to take action upon regaining power.
Despite its humorous appearance, he intends to convey to his followers that he will not spare opponents and implies that he will be more aggressive than YS Jagan.
Lokesh appointed Prasanth Kishor as a consultant due to his belief that PK's advice was instrumental in uniting various social classes against the Kamma social class, favoring Jagan in the past.
Now, he believes that PK can be instrumental in developing anti-Jagan sentiment and aligning all social classes with TDP.
Lokesh did not hesitate to clarify certain things regarding Pawan Kalyan. He disagreed with Pawan's statement about discussing the CM post.
When questioned by a journalist about the CM post, he confidently asserted that Chandrababu would serve a full term as Chief Minister.
Janasena leaders disagreed, prompting Kapu leader and former minister Chegondi Harira Jogaiah to seek Pawan's response to Lokesh's remarks on the CM post.
Amid discussions on Lokesh's statements about the CM post, he openly expressed his views on the Deputy CM position.
He mentioned that Chandrababu and the Politburo members would discuss and decide on Pawan's candidacy for Deputy CM. This revealed Lokesh's opinion about Pawan's political standing.
When Pawan asserted that he supported TDP because it was weak, Lokesh countered this, reflecting his supremacy.
While Lokesh believes this approach is essential for progress in current politics, some senior TDP leaders are not in favor of his behavior.
It is worth noting that Lokesh is imitating Jagan with the belief that it is the only way to yield results. However, whether the same approach will work for every individual is a different topic.
