Somu Veerraju, the former chief of BJP in Andhra Pradesh, has long been associated with a perceived soft corner for YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s leadership, which many believe contributed to his removal from the BJP's state leadership position. However, after remaining largely silent despite the NDA alliance's massive victory in Andhra Pradesh, Veerraju made a surprising public appearance recently by meeting Nara Lokesh, the son of TDP leader N. Chandrababu Naidu.

In a meeting centered on discussing educational reforms in the state, Veerraju and Lokesh were seen smiling together in front of cameras, sparking speculation about a potential shift in political allegiance. This unexpected development has raised questions about Veerraju's future in Andhra Pradesh politics, with some suggesting that he may be moving away from Jagan’s YCP, which is facing growing criticism and challenges, and instead aligning with Nara Lokesh, seen as a rising force in the NDA camp.

Veerraju's meeting with Lokesh comes at a time when doubts about the relevance of Jagan's party are gaining ground in AP, especially with Lokesh's increasing prominence within the BJP. This political realignment could signal the beginning of a new power dynamic in Andhra Pradesh as the 2024 elections draw closer. For now, the meeting has left both political insiders and netizens speculating about the direction in which Somu Veerraju's political career may head.
