Lokesh Is A Big Suitcase!

Lokesh Is A Big Suitcase!

Telugu Desam Party general secretary and Andhra Pradesh IT minister Nara Lokesh has drawn flak from the YSR Congress party for throwing challenge to Leader of the Opposition Y S Jaganmohan Reddy for a debate on corruption charges against them.

At Mahanadu, Lokesh accused Jagan of obstructing development and projects like Pattiseema, Bhogapuam airport, pharma industry in East Godavari, mega aqua park in West Godavari and irrigation projects in Rayalaseema.

“Whatever they do, it is difficult to stop sunlight with the palm of hand and Mr. Reddy cannot stop the onward march of Andhra Pradesh,” he said.

Reacting sharply to Lokesh’s allegations against Jagan, YSRC leader Bhumana Karunakar Reddy said on Tuesday that Lokesh had no stature or standing in politics to throw challenges to Jagan.

“Everybody knows how corrupt Lokesh is. He is a big suitcase for the TDP,” he said.

Bhumana said the TDP had no genuine mandate of the people and that it had come to power only with the support of Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan and Bharatiya Janata Party.

“Yet, the TDP could get just one per cent more votes than the YSRC,” he pointed out.

He also found fault with the TDP government for the arrest of social media activists for posting negative comments on Naidu and other TDP leaders.

“In the past, the TDP social media wing managers posted several derogatory comments against Jagan and his sister Sharmila. What has the government done in their case?” Bhumana asked.
