The opposition TDP General Secretary, Nara Lokesh, has been delivering harsh statements against Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy ever since he launched his Yuva Galam padayatra.
He warned Jagan that he would instill fear in him and teach him how to govern the state. He referred to Jagan as a Tadepalli Palace Pilli (cat) and claimed that Jagan would be ineffective for the next six months.
Lokesh stated that Jagan would spend six months in office and then end up in Chanchalguda Central Jail.
The TDP young leader asserted that Jagan had achieved nothing in the past four years and predicted he wouldn't accomplish anything in the next six months either.
Lokesh used similar derogatory language against ministers, former ministers, and many leaders of the ruling party.
Now, Jagan has had his father, Chandrababu Naidu, arrested and sent to Rajamahendravaram Central Jail.
Jagan canceled his Yuva Galam padayatra and is currently in Delhi consulting with advocates. Although he had planned to restart his padayatra, he postponed it due to requests from TDP leaders to be available to the advocates.
It remains uncertain whether he will resume his padayatra or face arrest. However, if he chooses to restart his padayatra, the question arises: will he continue to threaten Jagan and refer to him as the "palace pilli"?
We must wait and see how his speech style will change, especially after his father's incarceration.
