No mainstream politician would miss the chance to interact with a crowd of over five lakh and acknowledge all their cheers and claps. But this is where Nara Lokesh proved to be a different proposition altogether as he stood away from all the glory yesterday.
Incidentally, the NDA government held a mega political event in the name of Super Six Super Hit in Anantapur district yesterday. This mega event was attended by massive crowd of over five lakh people and it is one of the most successful political events in recent times.
Chief minister Chandrababu and deputy chief minister, Pawan Kalyan fully acknowledged the kind of love that they got from the audience who kept cheering them on.
However, Lokesh, who was supposed to attend this event had his priority elsewhere as he stayed in the real time governance room in the Secretariat. He kept tracking the situation of the stranded Telugu population in Nepal and was coordinating the rescue operations.
Lokesh was part of the coordination operation where 22 Telugu people have been rescued from Nepal and another 200 are on the way. While his contemporaries Chandrababu and Pawan Kalyan were greeting massive crowds in Anantapur, Lokesh was sitting in this RTG room and coordinating the rescue operation.
It is evident that Lokesh priority work and rescue operation more than political mileage and crowd theatrics. This has already led to a comment amongst political observers that Lokesh is proving to be a genuine leader rather than just being a typical politician.
