Lokesh Sets Goal to Make Mangalagiri Number One Region
Nara Lokesh wants Mangalagiri to become a leading region in many areas.
He thanked local government workers for helping poor families receive permanent rights to their homesites.
About 6,000 families received these rights in two phases.
Lokesh said he first lost an election in Mangalagiri in 2019.
He later spent five years listening to residents and learning about their problems.
He promised to help families living on government land for many years.
People then elected him with a large majority in 2024.
Lokesh also said that several projects, including drainage, water pipelines and parks, are being developed.
He said teamwork between elected representatives and officials is needed to improve the area.
Education Minister and Mangalagiri MLA Nara Lokesh said he wants the constituency to lead in all human-development sectors.
Lokesh hosted Mangalagiri Tadepalli municipal and revenue officials and their families to recognize their work distributing permanent house-site pattas.
Around 6,000 families benefited from the patta distribution after officials completed an enumeration process.
Lokesh said he first lost from Mangalagiri in 2019 but won the 2024 election with a 91,000-vote majority after promising land rights.
Development projects include parks, community facilities, underground drainage, drinking-water pipelines and a model Rythu Bazaar.
