Nara Lokesh will start "Yuva Galam" padayatra in Andhra Pradesh on January 27

Nara Lokesh, former minister, and TDP general Secretary, has called his proposed padayatra" a reference to the youth. The 400-day walkathon will begin in Kuppam on January 27th and end at Itchapuram, Srikakulam district.

Itchapuram was, interestingly, the location of previous padayatras by YS Rajasekhar, his son and chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, and Jagan's younger sister YS Sharmila.

The TDP leaders concluded the padayatra following a Wednesday brainstorming session at NTR Bhavan Mangalagiri. K Atchannaidu, the president of TDP AP's unit, said that Lokesh's padayatra would transform the face of state politics.

The padayatra will address the problems faced by the youth, highlight unemployment, dry up state investments, and stalling industrial promotion," he stated. He also blamed the government for not promoting the state's development.

Although many people have conducted padayatras, Lokesh's padayatra will be unique. Atchannaidu stated that Lokesh would not kiss anyone nor place his hands on their heads as Jagan did during the padayatra.
