It has been nearly five years since Nara Lokesh, the only son of Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, came into politics.
He started off as in-charge of TDP workers’ welfare trust, then became the youth wing president, then general secretary of the party and finally a minister in his father’s cabinet.
Yet, he has not gained maturity either in talking or decision making, according to YSR Congress party MLA and Public Accounts Committee chairman Buggana Rajendranath Reddy.
On Thursday night, Lokesh tweeted about Buggana’s luncheon meeting with BJP MLA Akula Satyanarayana at a hotel in New Delhi.
A Telugu television news channel, obviously close to the TDP, spotted them getting down from a same vehicle at Andhra Pradesh Bhavan and speculated that Buggana, being a PAC chairman, had a meeting with Delhi BJP bosses and handed over documents on the accounts pertaining to various schemes of the Naidu. The TDP suspected that this was done to witch-hunt the chief minister.
Lokesh made a sarcastic comment in his twitter by giving a multiple choice question: “What could be the reason behind YSRCP & AP BJP MLAs meeting their Delhi Bosses secretly today? 1) #OperationGaruda 2) Jagan Cases Maafi 3) To Sell Telugu Self Respect 4) All the Above.”
He also attached a video clip of the YSRC and BJP MLAs getting out of the same car in Delhi.
Buggana fired at Lokesh for making comments without even verifying what exactly had happened.
“He is still immature with low IQ levels. His tweet is filled with presumption, unknown fears and perceived perceptions stirring an unwanted debate,” he said.
He said Lokesh’s comments have no meaning, conviction or substance.
“He is yet to become a mature leader even after five years of coming into politics. It is better, Naidu who claims to be a 40-years industry in politics, gives him training on what to speak and what not to,” Buggana said.
He reminded that in the past, there were objectionable pictures of Lokesh with some girls had surfaced.
“Did anyone of us try to make any issue out of them and create a fuss? If the pictures of I and the BJP MLA having lunch together are correct, what should we call Lokesh’s pictures with girls?” he asked.
