Lokesh said that with the blessings from the lord and the people, he was expecting to have a political life for the next 40 to 50 years. He would remain balanced both when he loses and wins. “I am focussing more on promotion of education, attracting huge investments and creating jobs to make AP something different from other states,” he said.

Earlier, Lokesh paid a courtesy visit to the ambassador of the Republic of Korea to India Lee Seong-ho in Delhi.
Lokesh discussed with the ambassador the expansion of Korean companies in India and also the opportunity for cooperation between both the nations. As South Korea is leading in areas like semiconductors, micro electronics, ship building and electric vehicles, Lokesh discussed how AP could become a long time partner for setting up Korean companies in India.
