Youth plays a crucial role when it comes to breakthroughs in any field, and politics is no exception. Many of today’s prominent leaders once entered politics as youth leaders. In this context, some young leaders are preparing to make their mark on Andhra Pradesh politics. They are working tirelessly to steer the state on the path of progress while addressing the issues faced by their constituencies. They are gearing up to make an impact in the 2024 assembly elections. Let’s take a look at these young leaders from TDP and YSRCP parties.
TDP Young Leaders:
Nara Lokesh
Nara Lokesh is emerging as the future leader of the Telugu Desam Party. Currently, he is undertaking a statewide padayatra under the banner of Yuva Garjana.

Although Lokesh, who had served as a minister in the previous TDP government, lost the 2019 assembly elections from the Mangalagiri constituency, he is determined to win and enter the assembly in the upcoming elections.
Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu
Following Nara Lokesh, Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu has gained a good reputation as a young leader of the TDP. As the son of Yerram Naidu, Rammohan entered politics and won the Srikakulam MP seat in 2019 against YSRCP. As a young leader, he effectively raised state issues in Parliament. In the coming days, Rammohan Naidu has prospects of becoming a key leader.
