Lokesh appears to be taking a page from book of former Telangana minister KTR. TDP-led govt, he says, ‘is operating like a startup, showing that hunger and fire’.
PM’s praise of Lokesh comes amidst growing chorus within TDP to further promote the party general secretary in government & organisation. Pawan Kalyan's JSP resists demand to make Lokesh deputy CM.
TDP leaders say Lokesh is already de facto working president with father Naidu deputing him to run most affairs. Now, he may formally get title of ‘working’ or ‘executive’ president.
Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu is learnt to have delegated much of his authority to his son, with Kilaru playing a key role in supporting Nara Lokesh through the transition.
The speech reflected growing trend in TDP to position Nara Lokesh as successor to his father & CM Chandrababu Naidu. Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan got lone mention.
The performance rankings, conducted by the Naidu govt from time to time, follow last month’s TDP-JSP clash over who would succeed him as chief minister.
The demand surfaced a few months after CM MK Stalin in neighboring Tamil Nadu made his son, minister and political heir Udhayanidhi Stalin the deputy chief minister.
TDP minister responded despite him yet to take over portfolio. A government order allowing revised memos to be issued facilitating admissions was released within a week.
News channels were also in two minds about removing stray dogs to the government dog pounds. NDTV took credit for it and CNN-News 18 called ‘controversial order’.
Centre for Science and Environment in new report makes case for rationalising GST on waste material, saying most informal operators can’t afford high tax & it also hinders recycling.
21st edition of annual joint military exercise will be held from 1 to 16 September, aimed at sharing military tech, operational best practices & disaster relief coordination methods.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
You have to give credit to TDP and how motivated they are unlike congress in Karnataka whose government has come to a pause.
I think it’s time Karnataka gets a reality check and that will only happen when industries move out. The congress leader is also right that it’s not just infrastructure that will get you going. You need to build a talent pool as well which means having a great educational environment. TDP needs to focus on that as well.
