Andhra Pradesh Minister Nara Lokesh is set to visit Delhi tomorrow, travelling via a special flight from Hyderabad, for a crucial meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday evening. The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has officially confirmed the meeting, which is gaining significant political attention.
In preparation for this visit, Lokesh cancelled his Anantapur tour and rushed to Hyderabad, signaling the urgency and importance of the Delhi trip. The TDP is actively promoting the meeting, hinting at its political weight, especially amid recent developments in state politics.
Speculations are once again surfacing about Lokesh being considered for the Deputy Chief Minister post—a proposal that reportedly faced resistance in the past, particularly from Amit Shah, due to Pawan Kalyan’s key role in the alliance’s success.
Lokesh’s influence within the TDP and government has been steadily rising, evident through his leadership in party meetings and the presence of top officials at his public events.
While the meeting with the Prime Minister is expected to cover issues like capital development, central funds, and state–center cooperation, party insiders suggest deeper political strategies might be at play.
With the TDP’s Mahanadu event approaching in Kadapa, talks of organizational changes and enhanced responsibilities for Lokesh are gaining momentum. The outcome of the Modi-Lokesh meeting could signal major shifts in party dynamics and raise questions about Pawan Kalyan’s role within the alliance going forward.
