Take it from me.... This Man is poised to create wonders in Andhra politics. He is slated for a long, long run in Andhra political affairs.
Reason? Simple. His Perseverance...!
I have first interacted with him in 2010 in a small corner room in the third floor of Heritage HQs in a run down building in Punjagutta. It was an enthusiastic late twenties boy talking with dreamy eyes. Honestly I myself was another enthusiastic wannabee politico in mid to late thirties trying to enter politics leaving a cush corporate club.
With much water flowing down the bridge in these 13 years, when I last met him in January 2023, he was a shrewd politician equipped with knowledge base and not fearing to take solid, and sharp decisions not yeilding to any pressures.
Honestly, Lokesh, the World knew until a few years ago is massively different from his real personae. It was just quirk of fate that he was vastly undermined.
But, Lokesh started to reveal. The camaflouged personality is thrown out in the open now trying to take head on with the opponents.
This is not sychophancy at all and I m not a person of that type. But people who interacted with him with some degree of time can definitely say that he is not innocent or worldly illiterate as Ycp portrayed him to be.
To the Telugu Desam Warriors, I can happily say... you got a real guy with required amount of tenacity, patience, perseverance, shrewdness and last but the most important trait needed for a leader.... The Empathy...!
