Nara Lokesh (Telugu: నారా లోకేష్) (born 23 January 1983) is Indian politician and businessman. He is the Cabinet Minister for Information Technology, Panchayati Raj and Rural Development in Andhra Pradesh. He is the son of Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and Telugu Desam Party Chief Nara Chandrababu Naidu, and grandson of former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Sri N. T. Rama Rao.
He helped TDP develop the Cash Transfer Scheme for their manifesto in the 2009 elections. The TDP proposal was criticised by Congress, but Lokesh claimed in January 2013 that Rahul Gandhi and Congress' later development of the Direct Benefit Transfer System derives from the TDP proposal.
Nara Lokesh was formally inducted into the Party in May 2013, and appointed to head TDP's youth wing.
