Andhra Pradesh IT and Panchayat Raj minister N Lokesh had received a bumper offer from two of his cabinet colleagues. State Industries minister Amarnath Reddy and Education Minister Ganta Srinivas have come forward to sacrifice their Assembly seats to Lokesh in 2019 elections.
Amarnath, who is representing Palamanedu Assembly Constituency in Chittoor district, informed Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu that he is ready to give his seat to Lokesh. He said four mandals in his constituency were part of Kuppam Assembly segment before the delimitation in 2009. The winning prospects of Lokesh was 100 per cent in Palamanedu since it is TDP fiefdom.
Another minister Ganta Srinivas also expressed his readiness to support Lokesh if the latter contest from his Bhimili Assembly Constituency in Visakhapatnam district.
In the wake of growing criticism from opposition over Lokesh’s political entry as MLC, Chandrababu is seriously planning to field his son in direct elections in 2019. The TDP Chief is already scouting for a suitable constituency to Lokesh in Andhra. As Chandrababu was representing from Rayalaseema district, the CM wanted Lokesh to elect from Coastal Andhra.
