Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's son Nara Lokesh today filed his nomination for election to state Legislative Council under MLAs' quota. The election is scheduled to be held on March 20.
Government Chief Whip Kalva Srinivasulu proposed Lokesh's name while Deputy Chief Ministers K E Krishna Murthy and N China Rajappa, TDP's AP unit president K Kala Venkata Rao and other legislators seconded the nomination. Lokesh submitted his papers to Legislature Secretary (in-charge) and Returning Officer K Satyanarayana Rao.
The members of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) politburo had last month unanimously proposed Lokesh's name for a Council seat and left the final choice of candidates to Chandrababu. For sometime now, there has been talk of Lokesh's possible induction into the state Cabinet.
Lokesh, currently the TDP general secretary, is neither the member of Legislative Council nor the Assembly. Since there are no vacancies in the 176-member Assembly, the only available option for him is to get elected to the Council.
