Is Nara Lokesh Sulking?

The ruling TDP has organised a key party workers training camp at Amaravati. Everyone who is someone in the party has attended the conclave. But, one key leader is conspicuous by his absence. And that key leader is none other than party national secretary Nara Lokesh.

For the past two years, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has been indicating that Lokesh would be given a plum post. Initially, it was said that he would be given an MP post. Later, there was a talk of ministerial assignment at the Centre. Later, he was tipped to be made AP’s representative in Delhi. After this, there were strong rumours that he would be made a minister in the AP Cabinet. But, none of them materialised and Lokesh is left in the lurch.

Why did Nara Lokesh miss the party training programme! Party insiders say Nara the Junior is sulking at not being given a key post.

Lokesh, sources say, is upset at this and in his sulk, he chose not to take part in the all-important party training programme.
