Nara Lokesh Vows Lifelong Service to Mangalagiri People

VIJAYAWADA: Education, IT and Electronics minister Nara Lokesh affirmed that like in the past, he will continue to serve the people of Mangalagiri “in the present and forever.” He declared that sustained development is possible only through consistent and collective effort.

Participating as chief guest in the re-dedication ceremony of Krupa Samajam’s Krupa Pranganam on the Tenali Road in Atmakur area of Mangalagiri mandal on Saturday, Lokesh participated in the special prayers held on the occasion along with community members.

Speaking on the occasion, the minister said he is delighted to witness the reconstruction of Krupa Pranganam under the leadership of Pastor Bethu Vivek.

“God sometimes puts us through tests. But he also gives us the strength to overcome them. The same divine power enabled Pastor Vivek and his congregation to face challenges and rebuild this place of worship within seven months. It stands today as a symbol of faith and unity,” Lokesh declared.

Calling for harmony and cooperation, he underlined that progress can only be achieved when communities stand together.

“Our religions may differ, but our humanity is shared. Let us extend a helping hand to our neighbours, whether in our streets or villages, especially during this Christmas season,” the minister stated.

On the occasion, he cut a Christmas cake and extended festive greetings to the Christian brethren. He also distributed new clothes to pastors.
