In his 24 days of Yuva Galam Paada Yatra so far, Telugu Desam scion Nara Lokesh has covered lots of kilometres and interacted with people of various villages, towns and districts. More than that, what is catching the eye of voters these days is the selfies he is sharing on social media. And here’s why they are a super hit with the youths.
In this social media age, we don’t see many political leaders taking selfies and especially like some social media influencers. To stay connected with the new generation, he’s taking selfies with a pointed finger and the places he is taking those selfies are really piquing the interest of all.
Whether his selfie at the TCL India facility in Tirupathi district where he pointed out that it was brought to Andhra Pradesh by the TDP regime, or at the sand mining areas, or outside a wine shop through which he highlighted the prices of liquor in the state and some broken promises, or the ones he took with the bus of Dixon, or the one at the TIDCO houses, Lokesh is just nailing them. Of course, that selfie outside a hotel that is named ‘Pubji’ is quite hilarious for sure.
Usually, politicians don’t go such far on any normal day to take a photo in the first place, but going there by walking and clicking a selfie is a big thing to do. That shows the first level of interaction with real society in real time. The way Lokesh is really going into the people, and bringing out many things, looks like he is going to do something big very soon in active politics. Well, should we just say he is transforming from being a politician to a leader?
