Summary:
VISAKHAPATNAM: The TDP is planning to field Nara Lokesh , son of chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu , from the Visakhapatnam North seat in the forthcoming elections to the state assembly, top party sources told TOI. He had been elected to the AP legislative assembly on Praja Rajyam Party ticket in 2009. “Raju has been trying to convince Naidu to give him the ticket as he is willing to leave the BJP and join the TDP. With Ganta almost certain to be fielded from Vizag LS seat, the political ambitions of M Sribharat will get a jolt.If Lokesh is fielded from Vizag North , it would be difficult for Naidu to justify giving the LS ticket to Sribharat because Lokesh and Sribharat are brothers-in-law, he added. Both married the daughters of Nandamuri Balakrishna, who is also the brother-in-law of Naidu..
