The walkathon named after Yuvagalam, commenced from Kuppam and very soon became a pain for Lokesh after just two weeks. The initial thrill had worn off, leaving Lokesh feeling deflated.
He had fanciful notions that his journey on foot would receive an outpouring of support from the public, even surpassing the turnout of YS Jagan's similar padayatra. However, as he started his walk, he understood that the public is not taking him seriously.
There is no longer any trace of determination or excitement in Lokesh, causing the Telugu Desam Party to see his padayatra as a liability rather than an asset. The party is grappling with ways to bring an end to the walkathon, with the strategy committee of TDP coming to a conclusion.
TDP has initiated a new slogan claiming that early elections will soon be taking place in the state and so Lokesh will be concluding his padayatra much before the stipulated time. This is a similar tactic employed by Chandrababu two years prior to boost the morale of TDP supporters. With only a year left until the next election, everyone is aware of the true intentions behind the renewed campaign.
Lokesh's padayatra has become arduous and senior leaders of TDP are reportedly left puzzled as to why they ever embarked on it. Rumors circulate that the campaign for early elections will bring an end to Lokesh's padayatra before its intended conclusion.
That way, its proved that Lokesh's padayatra is a big failure.
