Andhra Pradesh’s IT Minister, son of the Chief Minister Chandrababu has been facing many trolls since his entry into politics for his inability to speak well worthy as a Minister and the unusual hype is given to him from the Yellow Media. Party high command after many calculations confirmed Mangalagiri seat for his debut.
Now, the time has come to prove himself in these elections. Nara Lokesh may face a tough electoral debut as the Telugu Desam Party has never won from this weavers-dominated constituency in Guntur district since 1985 and rival YSR Congress Party is leaving no stone unturned.
With an electorate of 2,68,429 lakh, Mangalagiri has predominantly backward communities’ population, especially weaver’s community (Padmashali) and Muslims. It is learned that Both Lokesh (Kamma) and YSRCP candidate (Reddy) have upper caste identity.
But there were three things will play in favor of TDP in that constituency. One is welfare schemes, second is infrastructure development like drainage, roads and urban housing and the third one is 3 lakh jobs generated in the private sector. Apart from those, it will be very tough for Nara Lokesh in his electoral debut.
