Lokesh Unfazed by Jagan’s ‘Good Book’ Strategy
Lokesh’s Red Book Approach
In Andhra Pradesh politics, books are becoming a trend. Nara Lokesh, a key leader in the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), announced a Red Book plan before the elections. He promised that, once in power, he would ensure action against police and government officials who troubled TDP members during the YSR Congress Party (YCP) rule.
Lokesh’s Red Book is a way to hold people accountable for their actions against his party members. This idea has sparked discussions as it directly targets the state machinery under YCP’s control.
Jagan’s Response: The ‘Good Book’
Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy responded with his own version, a ‘Good Book’. He said that, when YCP wins again, he will note down the names of loyal and hardworking YCP supporters in this Good. These supporters would get promotions and recognition for their efforts.
Lokesh’s Response to Jagan’s Good Book
When reporters asked Lokesh about Jagan’s Good, his reply was blunt. He said, “Jagan might have gotten the idea from my Red Book, but I don’t care about it. The Red is meant to protect TDP members who suffered under YCP. I don’t care about Jagan’s books.”
Lokesh’s focus is on ensuring justice for his party members, and he sees Jagan’s plan as irrelevant to his goals.
Political Ramifications
These two “books” highlight the intense competition between TDP and YCP. Lokesh’s Red aims to protect TDP supporters, while Jagan’s Good Book seeks to reward YCP loyalists. As the election approaches, both leaders are shaping their strategies to motivate their respective parties.
Conclusion
As election day draws near, Nara Lokesh and YS Jagan Mohan Reddy are working hard to win over their supporters. Lokesh focuses on protecting his party with the Red, while Jagan offers rewards through his Good. Their strategies reflect the heated rivalry in Andhra Pradesh politics.
