“Our Chandranna (Chandrababu Naidu) has taken the pride of the Telugu people to the global stage. Telugu people should lead in every field — education, technology, politics, and entrepreneurship,” said Lokesh, addressing a gathering of TDP supporters, leaders and cadres.
The IT Minister emphasised the party's commitment to providing meaningful representation to youth in Telugu politics, pointing out that 88 MLAs out of 164 from the NDA alliance are first-time MLAs.
Regarding women's empowerment, the TDP general secretary said Naidu enabled women’s empowerment to achieve financial independence and dignity.

We are introducing free bus travel for women and 'Thalliki vandanam' scheme (Rs 15,000 per child annually) in August, said Lokesh.
TDP’s social re-engineering is aimed at eradicating poverty through innovative welfare models, such as subsidized essentials to pensions and housing.
Lokesh reiterated the commitment to social justice, especially for backward communities under the P-4 (poverty alleviation) concept.
Elaborating on the support for farmers, Lokesh said peasants are the backbone of the society. The party has always stood by them with irrigation, crop subsidies and others.
Addressing the resolution of treating party cadres as leaders, Lokesh said the party worker is the real leader in TDP. He offered heartfelt tributes to loyal party workers, recounting stories of bravery and sacrifice.
