Just when Andhra politics was settling into its usual rhythm, here comes somu veerraju, Andhra Pradesh’s very own silent supporter of YS jagan, seemingly shaking off the dust to meet TDP’s rising star, Nara Lokesh. Yes, the same somu veerraju who’s been quieter than a library during finals week, apparently recharged after a prolonged stint in his politically induced slumber.
Now, if you recall, Somu had a soft spot for jagan that could almost be described as a "secret admirer" kind of vibe. It was a connection that left the tdp cadre scratching their heads, wondering if Veerraju’s bjp badge might have accidentally come from the wrong printing machine. But fast forward to now—Somu’s all smiles and chitchats with Lokesh. Oh, how the tides of convenience do turn.
And what a "timely" reappearance, too! Just as whispers about Jagan’s ycp being on a downhill slide reach a crescendo, Veerraju dusts himself off and decides it's time to discuss educational reforms—of all things—with Lokesh. Yes, indeed, because surely, after all the thunderous victories and political whirlwinds, Andhra Pradesh’s top priority for Veerraju was bound to be textbook policies.
The two posed, grinning ear-to-ear, radiating enough "collaborative spirit" to give the impression they’ve been besties since high school. Could it be that Somu's finally taking a hint from social media pundits who suggest jagan might be past his political expiration date? Or was it the sudden realization that clinging to a fading star isn’t the way to shine in politics?
Whatever the case, it seems Somu’s "hibernation" was just his way of waiting for the political winds to blow in a new direction—and wouldn’t you know it, lokesh happens to be the breeze that promises change in Andhra politics.
