Telangana Minister for IT and Panchayat Raj K T Rama Rao always hobnobs with foreign delegates and signs MoUs with several foreign companies.
His sister and Nizamabad MP K Kavitha also has a lot of fan following among NRIs and whenever she goes to the US, her publicity managers try to ensure that she gets maximum coverage in the media.
But both KTR and Kavitha proved no match to young Telugu Desam Party leader Nara Lokesh, son of AP Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu in media management.
Lokesh, who is also convener of TDP workers’ welfare cell, is on American tour to attract investment in Andhra Pradesh.
He was welcomed by the Telugu people led by TDP leader Komati Jairam at the airport on Monday. Later, he attended a meeting organized by Telugu people at Beria where he explained about TDP government’s programs taken up for development of Andhra Pradesh.
Interesting part of Lokesh’s tour is that he has got an appointment with US President Barack Obama. He is likely to meet Obama on May 7.
The party leaders are now claiming it a big credit, which KTR or Kavitha could not get. In fact, Kavitha reportedly made an attempt to get an appointment with the Obama family, but it did not materialise.
Now, KTR who is also planning to go on the US trip very shortly, is learnt to have asked the Telangana NRIs, to lobby strongly to secure an appointment for him with Obama.
It is now a matter of prestige for him, since Lokesh is meeting the US President. For now, Lokesh has outsmarted KTR and Kavitha!
