HYDERABAD: Andhra Pradesh may soon, probably in the next few months, emerge the latest state in India to witness fresh round of dynastic politics.After ensuring top post of national general secretary to the Telugu Desam Party TDP ) president's son Nara Lokesh , the supporters of party supremo and chief minister Chandrababu Naidu are now busy preparing ground to induct the Naidu scion into the Cabinet.Lokesh's induction into Andhra's council of ministers assumes significance in the backdrop of rumours that Naidu was weighing options to play a key role in the national politics post 2019 elections while handing over the state mantle to his son.Interestingly, the 66-yearold Naidu, who fought against dynastic politics of Congress for decades, appears to be falling prey to similar politics, point out analysts.Many Cabinet colleagues of Naidu were seen increasingly heaping praise on the heir apparent of late, seeking cabinet berth for him and expressing willingness to sacrifice their electoral seats in his favour, competing for brownie points.To make Lokesh familiar to party cadres at the grassroots level and nuances of political campaigns, the party top leadership had, over the last year or so, made him participate in the mass contact programs titled `Jana Chaitanya Yatra' last year.Lokesh, a management graduate from the Stanford University , had a short stint at the World Bank as junior professional associate, before returning to India to join the family business of retail and dairy at Heritage Foods in 2006.The 33-year-old grandson of legendary actor-turnedpolitician NT Rama Rao was formally inducted into TDP in May 2013 to head the youth wing, years after assisting his father as a backroom boy.“Chandrababu Naidu himself rose to power through dynastic politics. People have through their mandate legitimised dynastic politics in India by accepting many including Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi at the Centre, Akhilesh Singh Yadav in Uttar Pradesh, Kumaraswamy in Karnataka, Na veen Patnaik in Odisha, among others,“ said Prof N Nageshwar, political analyst and editor of Hans India daily and HMTV . He, however, said that “the dynastic politics are much more stronger in regional parties.“According to Nageshwar, “Like Mulayam Singh Yadav and many founders of individuals-centric regional political parties, even Chandrababu Naidu and Chandrasekhar Rao also appear to be preparing to hand over the mantle to their heirs. They (Naidu and KCR) may want to see their children in power during their heydays.“Citing the contribution of Lokesh to the party and welfare of party activists, Mallela Linga Reddy, TDP's spokesperson in Andhra, said the young politician helped many unemployed get jobs through skill upgradation and free education and healthcare to many, deserving a role in the government.Justifying government position to Lokesh, senior TDP leader Gali Muddukrishnama Naidu said, “Dynasty politics are not new to this country. Right from Gandhi-Nehru family, we saw them in many Indian states including the neighbouring Telugu speaking state of Telangana.“For years, comparisons were frequently drawn by the activists of TDP in AP and their ruling counterpart in neighbouring Telangana, Telangana Rashtra Samithi, between Lokesh and Telangana chief minister's son K.Taraka Rama Rao, popularly known as KTR.
