Former minister and MLA from Machilipatnam Perni Venkataramaiah (Nani) called Lokesh’s padayatra an ‘utter flop yatra’. “Lokesh conducted the yatra with the sinful money of Chandrababu Naidu, however the TDP did not achieve anything from the yatra,” he said.
Speaking to media persons on Friday, Nani alleged that Lokesh did not stop the yatra when his uncle son died, but stopped the yatra when Chandrababu was arrested.
Nani pointed out that the padayatra is carried out for the people and to know their problems, but in the name of padayatra Lokesh was hell-bent on insulting Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. He alleged that the padayatra was carried just for namesake. He said that Chandrababu planned to come to power by deceiving people with false promises. Chandrababu did not implement a single one out of the 650 promises he had given before the 2014 elections. Chandrababu has a habit of cheating the people from time to time and now he has started giving new promises.
Nani asked why Pawan didn’t question Chandrababu who had given promises. PK is tight-lipped only because both have come to an understanding on the package and Pawan wants Chandrababu to be in power. Earlier, Pawan said that Lokesh was a thief and now he is seeking votes for Lokesh, pointed out Nani. “Pawan, who insulted us as Paleru (worker), is now working as a paleru for Chandrababu,” said Nani and added that Chandrababu, Lokesh and Pawan are trying to cheat people for power. He asked why women were not given three gas cylinders when they were in power in the past. Why were women not given free bus travel during 2014 to 2019, asked the MLA. The YSRCP MLA recalled that Pawan warned Lokesh for insulting his mother. TDP says that they are giving only 25 seats to Jana Sena. Everyone there including Pawan is sold to the TDP. Where will Chandrababu, Lokesh, and Pawan contest from, asked the MLA.
Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy’s political strategy is a clear indication of failure for Chandrababu. Chandrababu cannot take such decisions like CM Jagan, said Perni Nani.
