Lokesh’s Sankharavam rallies are largely failing to draw crowds. Nara Lokesh held Sankharavam rallies yesterday in the constituencies of Pathapatnam, Palakonda, and Kurupam. At the Pathapatnam rally, Lokesh continued with his usual speech. Lokesh’s speech was, as usual, limited to accusations against the ruling party. Many people left the meeting midway, unable to listen to his words. During TDP’s pledge, the hall emptied out, leaving only the key leaders seated in the front rows by the end.
