Hyderabad:
Nara Lokesh — Andhra Pradesh MLA and son of Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu –took on YS Jaganmohan Reddy’s YSR Congress within the state meeting at present, accusing them of insulting his mom after which “operating away”. In an emotional speech in the home, he accused the previous Chief Minister of defending them by giving them tickets within the latest meeting elections within the state.
That message was later reiterated in a publish on X, previously Twitter.
“My mom was insulted. Do not you bear in mind insulting my mom that day? We by no means talked about Jagan’s household. Chandrababu got here to the Meeting day by day. After insulting my mom, they walked out of the meeting. Now I’m questioning YSRCP — why your MLAs didn’t come? While you gave YSRCP tickets to those that insulted my mom, did not you defend them, Jagan?” learn a tough translation of the publish.
His assault got here on the heels of the YSR Congress’s boycott of the finances session of the meeting. YSRCP, decimated within the meeting polls, now has solely 11 members in the home, together with Mr Reddy.
Mr Lokesh made the purpose that his father attended the state meeting day by day and stop it solely when his spouse was insulted within the meeting.
The incident came about in November 2021. Whereas it was not clear on the time what was stated about his spouse, Mr Naidu later broke down earlier than the media and swore that he would come again to the meeting solely when he had gained the election.
Nara Lokesh accused the YSR Congress of not solely focusing on his mom however ladies of the households of political leaders they don’t see eye to eye with. That record consists of Mr Naidu’s spouse and mom, Nara Lokesh’s spouse, the daughters of Pawan Kalyan and even Jaganmohan Reddy’s sister YS Sharmila, who’s the state Congress chief and his mom following a rift within the household.
This focusing on of ladies to settle political scores has trigged a large crackdown by the Chandrababu Naidu authorities on social media posts which can be derogatory to ladies.
The YSR Congress or its chief are but to reply to Mr Lokesh’s allegations.
