“PR Over People: How nara lokesh Turns Tragedy Into a Marketing Campaign”
Politics isn’t supposed to be a publicity stunt — it’s supposed to be leadership. Yet, watching Nara Lokesh’s moves during Nepal’s unrest, one has to wonder: Are we getting a leader or a brand manager? Here’s why this PR obsession is insulting, dangerous, and downright disgraceful:
1. Phone Calls for PR, Not Help
Reports suggest that lokesh made a phone call during Nepal’s unrest. Instead of being a private act of concern, it was transformed into a publicity spectacle, complete with social media amplification and praise from RW accounts. Tragedy is being monetized for optics.
2. Crores Spent for ‘Sympathy Branding’
It isn’t just the call — it’s the money behind it. From PR firms to paid social media handles, every move is carefully calculated to market the politician, not the cause. Citizens in distress don’t get relief; the politician gets likes.
3. From Leadership to Marketable Commodity
This is the TDP-Janasena-Telugu film industry ecosystem at work: every gesture, every condolence, every selfie — packaged, branded, sold. Governance becomes secondary; marketing becomes primary.
4. Public Sympathy Exploited
Using the pain of others for personal branding is not leadership. It’s moral bankruptcy. The public sees through the facade, but these leaders hope optics will distract from the lack of real action.
5. Telugu Pride or telugu PR?
Once, telugu leaders and culture brought pride to the nation. Today, the same corridors of power bow to external agendas, surrendering dignity and leaving andhra pradesh without a proper capital for 11 years.
6. Corruption Over Compassion
andhra pradesh ranks among the most corrupt states in India. While leaders focus on photo ops and brand building, misgovernance continues unchecked. Citizens’ woes take a backseat to PR campaigns.
🔥 Bottom Line: Nara Lokesh’s political playbook seems clear: tragedy is a marketing opportunity, not a call to leadership. andhra pradesh deserves leaders who govern, not brands who sell themselves off to tragedy.
