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.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
PTC Industries is investing Rs 1,000 cr in 4 manufacturing plants in UP, has already started supplying titanium parts to BAE Systems for its M-777 howitzers that India also uses.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
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.
