VIJAYAWADA: In a scathing attack, ruling YSRC has demanded an apology from Telugu Desam chief Nara Chandrababu Naidu and his son Lokesh, former minister, for using abusive language against Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.
Addressing media, YSR Congress MLA K. Kannababu objected to Naidu's remark that Jagan becoming the CM is the biggest misfortune of the state. He countered that AP witnessed misfortune between 2014–19, when there had been severe droughts. The situation has changed now. Reservoirs are now brimming, the state is on the growth path, and people are happy under Jagan’s rule, the MLA pointed out.
Addressing another press conference, former minister Kodali Sri Venkateswara Rao alias Nani said as there is no proper response to ongoing Lokesh’s Yuvagalam padayatra, Chandrababu Naidu has lost his mental balance and is using foul words against the AP CM.
Nani went on to describe Chandrababu as “Brand Ambassador of Backstabbing” for snatching away power from N.T. Rama Rao. It is only through such acts that Naidu, who owned just two acres of agricultural land, is now worth lakhs of crores, the former minister pointed out.
Separately speaking to media, housing minister Jogi Ramesh termed the Telugu Desam chief “Broker Babu” for brokering in politics and referred to Lokesh as “Joker Lokesh” for his inefficiency and failures. He warned that YSRC cadres will teach a befitting lesson to the father and son duo if they continue foul-mouthing the CM.
