Andhra Pradesh's Human Resources and IT Minister Nara Lokesh attended the Lucknow wedding of political strategist Shantanu Singh this weekend. The event marked a convergence of political figures, given Singh's growing reputation in national electoral politics.
The consultant has emerged as a significant behind the scenes figure since beginning his career with Prashant Kishor during Bihar's 2015 elections. His campaign portfolio includes Mamata Banerjee's 2021 West Bengal victory and Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy's 2019 Andhra Pradesh win.
Most recently, Singh contributed to Chandrababu Naidu's Telugu Desam Party resurgence in Andhra's 2024 elections. The wedding guest list reflected these professional connections, with Lokesh, Naidu's son and cabinet minister serving as chief guest.
