HYDERABAD: NARA Lokesh, US-returned businessman, will help out dad and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief N Chandrababu Naidu.
Party sources scotched talk of Lokesh’s immediate entry into politics, though he will, indeed appear on the radar by participating in a couple of public meetings to be addressed by NTR Jr.
Lokesh, an MBA from the US, is looking after the family business -- Heritage Foods -- along with mother, Bhuvaneswari.
It might be recounted here that whenever curious scribes have asked Chandrababu Naidu about Lokesh’s entry into active politics, the reply has been along these lines: “I want my son to become a good citizen first. It is up to him (Lokesh) which avocation to take up. Do not drag him into unnecessary controversies.” As for Naidu’s archrival and Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy, the latter’s son, Jagan Mohan Reddy, will be making a foray into politics by contesting the Kadapa Lok Sabha seat.
