But Jagan, who is adamant on defeating lokesh a second time, struck a devastating blow to lokesh by orchestrating the defection of chiranjeevi, a powerful figure in the community of weavers. If chiranjeevi is handed the YSRC ticket for the upcoming elections, he will be able to appeal to the other bc groups in addition to weavers. Additionally, chiranjeevi would gain support from the reddy voters.
All of Lokesh's calculations have been incorrect as a result, and he is now back where he started. He is aware that his political future would be in jeopardy if he loses this election once more. So, according to party sources, he has chosen to alter his plan of action. These sources claim that Naidu is currently considering running another capable weavers' community candidate against chiranjeevi and moving lokesh to a more secure district.
