AP Chief Minister's scion and TDP’s national general secretary Nara
Lokesh has coined a new slogan for the GHMC elections to hint that his
family belongs to all the regions of both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
At
a recent high profile meeting with the city’s TDP leaders he reportedly
remarked that while his father is from Rayalaseema, his mother is from
Andhra and he is from Telangana and a true Hyderabadi who was born and
fully brought up in Hyderabad.
He reportedly
asked TDP leaders to highlight this local factor prominently in GHMC
poll promotions for attracting voters of all the regions in the city.
Lokesh also created the main slogan of "Hamara Shahar-Hamara Hyderabad"
(Our City-Our Hyderabad) to highlight the status of global city for
Hyderabad.
Naidu had ruled United AP for nine
years as CM between 1995 and 2004 and many credit him for laying
foundations to become a global city. Whether the people will believe
that TDP has the capacity to deliver again and whether Lokesh will be
accepted is interestingly being watched.
