Don't Lose Any More Weight": PM Modi’s Lighthearted Advice to Nara Lokesh
Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared a lighthearted moment with Andhra Pradesh Minister Nara Lokesh during a high tea at Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s Hyderabad residence, playfully advising the young leader not to lose any more weight as he is already quite slim.
The conversation turned to health and fitness when CM Chandrababu Naidu revealed that Lokesh’s disciplined weight-loss journey was directly inspired by his very first meeting with the Prime Minister. Impressed by the transformation, PM Modi praised Lokesh’s dedication but jokingly cautioned him against getting any leaner.
Responding to the Prime Minister, Nara Lokesh credited Modi as his ultimate fitness role model. He noted that despite working relentlessly for the nation at 75, the Prime Minister displays the energy and agility of three 25-year-olds. Lokesh expressed his commitment to maintaining his physical fitness, drawing continuous inspiration from Modi's work ethic and lifestyle.
The meeting, which lasted for over an hour, was marked by warm exchanges and laughter. Upon entering the residence, PM Modi fondly recalled memories after spotting a framed photograph of the 'Yuvagalam' coffee table book, which he had unveiled in New Delhi exactly a year ago.
During the visit, the Prime Minister also offered prayers at the Ram temple located within the Chief Minister's premises. Chandrababu Naidu shared a piece of family history, explaining that the Panchaloha idols of Lord Rama and Goddess Sita enshrined there were gifted by the legendary NT Rama Rao.
Reflecting on his political journey, Nara Lokesh described both Modi and Naidu as his core mentors—guiding him at the national and state levels, respectively. He stated that his ultimate goal is to match their pace in delivering public welfare and development.
Honouring tradition, Lokesh felicitated the Prime Minister with a special handloom shawl woven in his home constituency of Mangalagiri, detailing its cultural significance. The gathering concluded with CM Naidu expressing his gratitude to the Prime Minister and the Central Government for their ongoing support toward the state's development.
