Lokesh invites Jagan to Assembly to know facts

Minister for Human Resources and IT, Nara Lokesh, on Friday invited former chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy to the Assembly to know facts about his government. He said that Jagan Mohan Reddy had ruined the state on all fronts in the last five years.

Lokesh said that Jagan Mohan Reddy was now denying the facts that are available with the people through the white papers. He said that this government was giving the facts to the people through white papers. He recalled that white papers are facts about the regime of Jagan Mohan Reddy in the last five years.

He alleged that Jagan Mohan Reddy was speaking lies about his rule. He also alleged that Jagan Mohan Reddy was speaking lies about law-and-order issues in the state. The tall claims of Jagan Mohan Reddy that the YSR Congress activists were killed is a big lie, he said. On the contrary the YSR Congress leaders were resorting to violence across the state, he said.

Enquiry into Nadu-Nedu works, says Lokesh

Minister for Human Resources and IT, Nara Lokesh, on Tuesday said that the state government would order enquiry into the Nadu-Nedu works taken up in the state in the last five years of YSR Congress government. He said that the government is going slowly on the misdeeds of the previous government. He said that the development of the state was on the top of the agenda of this government and hence there was delay in taking action against the misdeeds of the previous government, he said.

The Minister alleged that poor quality of works was executed in the Nadu-Nedu programme. Though the government claimed that it was rebuilding the schools and hospitals, the works were conducted with poor quality. He wondered how the government could allow the contractors to use poor quality material. He said that this government would bring out every name involved in the scam. Nadu-Nedu was one of the biggest scams in the previous government, the Minister said.

He alleged that the previous government had closed several schools in the state. He said he wanted to find out the priorities or the policy of the previous government in closing those schools. He said this government would revive some of those schools and ensure that difficulties of the students are minimized.

He alleged that the previous government had used granite flooring for the schools for which it had increased the cost. There was corruption in every work in every section including the school bags, books, benches, flooring, electricity and water supply, he said. Even toilets constructed during the previous government were of poor quality, the minister alleged.

He claimed that this government was committed to convert all the government schools on par with the corporate schools. The quality of education would also be improved and it would reflect in the pass percentage, he said. He said that the government had already issued notification for the mega DSC and that it would improve the quality of teaching in the schools.

Senior TDP MLA, Dhulipalla Narendra Kumar, alleged that Nadu-Nedu was a big scam. He discounted the tall claims of the YSR Congress leaders on Nadu-Nedu and wanted this government to conduct an enquiry and bring out the facts.

Another senior TDP MLA Eluri Sambasiva Rao alleged that the YSR Congress leaders have become contractors for the Nadu-Nedu programme. He said that all contracts were given to the YSR Congress leaders keeping the regular contractors aside. He wanted the government to bring out the facts and tell people what happened in the last five years.

After Siva, Now it’s Veerendra

Andhra Pradesh Information Technology, Communication & Industries Minister Nara Lokesh has emerged as a beacon of hope for Telugu people stranded in Middle Eastern countries. Recently, Lokesh helped Siva return to India from Kuwait after his plea for help went viral on social media.

Now, another Telugu man named Veerendra has sought assistance. Veerendra arrived in Kuwait on the 10th of this month and was quickly transferred to a camel farm in Saudi Arabia on the 11th. Like Siva, Veerendra is struggling with the harsh summer conditions in Saudi Arabia.

After Veerendra’s video appeal reached Lokesh, the minister took to Twitter to reassure him, promising to bring him back safely.
These cases of Siva and Veerendra highlight a larger issue faced by many workers in Middle Eastern countries. While they were fortunate enough to bring their plight to Lokesh’s attention, countless others may not even have the means to contact their families.

This unfortunate situation can only be improved through better governance and the creation of quality job opportunities at home. Instead of relying on temporary relief measures, There’s a growing call for the newly formed government to focus on sustainable employment solutions rather than on freebies which would prevent such desperate situations in the first place.

Jagan speaking about murder politics, says Lokesh

Minister for Human Resources Development and IT, Nara Lokesh, on Thursday took strong exception to former chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy speaking about murder politics and law and order failure. He said that Jagan had become synonymous with murder politics in the last five years. He further recalled how Jagan Mohan Reddy government had victimized the victims of violence.

He said that Jagan Mohan Reddy had encouraged criminal politics. He further alleged that Jagan Mohan Reddy government had victimized those who were attacked by the then ruling YSR Congress. The five years rule of Jagan Mohan Reddy symbolizes victimization and vendetta politics, he said. He further said that the opposition leaders were targeted by the Jagan Mohan Reddy government in the last five years across the state.

Lokesh said that the present government was cleansing everything and restoring law and order in the state. He said that the officers are given free hand and there is no political involvement in the functioning of the officers. The state police is now independent and works under the directions of chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, he said.

He further alleged that Jagan Mohan Reddy government had given the party flags to the police and made them the YSR Congress workers. The present government is cleaning all those acts of the previous government, he said.

He said that the YSR Congress government did politics with dead bodies. That was why people have defeated the YSR Congress in the recent general elections to the state Assembly, he said. The people wanted a clean government and ensured that law and order is in place, he said.

Jagan Mohan Reddy, now sitting in Bengaluru palace, was trying to attribute every incident to the government. He is conspiring against the present NDA government in Andhra Pradesh, Lokesh said. He further added that this government would not allow any conspiracy either by the factionists or by politicians.

He further said that this government would not get scared of Jagan Mohan Reddy’s conspiracy. He said that this government is answerable to the people. He further added that the government is responsible for the people and would do only good for the people.

Lokesh intervention brings home a man from Kuwait

The intervention of Minister for Human Resources Nara Lokesh brought a man from Kuwait to his native in Madanapalli on Wednesday. The man, Siva, posted a video on social media pleading with people to bring him back home.

He posted the video explaining his difficulty to work in Kuwait and wanted to come back to his home. He pleaded with the people to help him. The video reached Minister Lokesh, who directed the TDP NRI team to help Siva.

Siva said that he went to Kuwait to earn money as he fell in the debt trap at home. He was told to give water to the sheep. But when he went there, there were sheep, goats, chickens, birds, plants and trees to be covered. He said he could not water all these and sought some helper. The owner did not care for him, he said.

As the days passed, it had become very difficult for him to work and satisfy the owner. The bore and the motor also did not work and the owner never got them repaired. Still, he was asked to water the plants, trees, birds, goats and sheep, he said.

“I was not given drinking water there by the owner. He asked me to drink the water in the well, which was too hot,” Siva said. He further said that life had become unbearable for him as he was also asked to sleep outside. The weather there was too hot and he could not sleep outside, he said.

Under these circumstances, he posted a video on social media requesting people to help him. The video reached minister Lokesh. He said that Lokesh’s men have reached him and helped him to come back to his native village in Annamayya district. He thanked the minister and the TDP NRI team for their support with which he could see his wife and children.

Nara Lokesh’s Initiative: Siva to Return to India

Thanks to the efforts of IT and HRD Minister Nara Lokesh, a man who was suffering in Kuwait with inadequate food and shelter has safely reached the Indian embassy.

Nara Lokesh successfully rescued a man named Siva from a dire situation in Kuwait with the help of the Indian embassy. Siva had been deceived by an agent and ended up in Kuwait tending cattle in a remote area. He was living in isolation without proper food. When Siva contacted the agent about his situation, he was told to continue with the same job.

Desperate, Siva made a video and posted it on social media, tagging the chief minister, deputy chief minister, home minister, and other leaders. In the video, he stated that he would end his life if help didn’t reach him.

Upon learning of the situation, Nara Lokesh took immediate action and communicated with the Union External Affairs Minister. The TDP party’s NRI team also reached out to Siva’s family. As a result of these efforts, Siva has safely arrived at the Indian embassy, and officials are now working to bring him back to India.

Nara Lokesh later posted another video on his Twitter handle, showing Siva thanking all the officials involved in his rescue.

Massive response to Lokesh’s Praja Darbar

The Praja Darbar taken up by the Minister for Education, IT and Electronics, Nara Lokesh, is a resounding success which is reposing total confidence among the people of Mangalagiri.

As there are no restrictions to reach the residence of Lokesh, daily thousands of people are personally meeting the Minister and are submitting their appeals to him. Lokesh is listening to everyone more patiently and is trying his best to repose faith and confidence among them that he will soon resolve their problems.

Since the problems of the people are pouring in, Lokesh has set up a separate machinery to forward the issues to the departments concerned so that a solution is found at the earliest. Though Lokesh is residing at the official residence of the Chief Minister, Chandrababu Naidu, there are no official curbs. Generally, the Chief Minister’s official residence has stringent restrictions like the camp office of former chief minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, which is the best example for this when he was holding office. But the residence where Lokesh is staying does not have any such security curbs and the common people can have easy access.

From 8 am every day, Lokesh is listening to all the people who are approaching him personally during Praja Darbar at his official residence in Vundavalli, thus proving beyond any doubt as he promised during the election campaign that the doors of his residence are always open for the people of Mangalagiri. During the Praja Darbar on Tuesday, 70-year-old, Gundur Venkata Subbamma, made an appeal to Lokesh, to come to her rescue by taking steps to sanction widow pension for her while B Durga Prasad of Tadepalli requested Lokesh to allot a house-site for him and also solve the drinking water problem in his area.

Chillapalli Veeramma of Mangalagiri requested Lokesh to extend financial assistance for her grandson for his education while T Jayamani appealed for the revival of pension for her and the organisers of the Andhra Pradesh Mee Seva wanted that justice be done to the workers who are dependent on Mee Seva system. The representatives of the AP CPS Employees Association made an appeal to Lokesh to initiate steps to lift the 1600 illegal cases filed against the members of the association across the State when they staged a protest in Vijayawada.

The representatives of the APMCA Association appealed to Lokesh to regularise the services of those working for the Ayushmann Health Clinics in the State and also pay their salary dues pending for the past nine months besides revision of their salaries. V Durga Malleswari requested Lokesh to provide employment to her son who has completed his B Tech.

The IT and Electronics Minister, Lokesh who has given a patient hearing to all of them promised them that he will take measures to resolve their problems at the earliest possible time.

Hot Topic: The Pulse of Four Key Constituencies in Andhra Pradesh

The general elections in Andhra Pradesh have wrapped up, and the results are set to be revealed in a couple of hours. With a record turnout on May 13, anticipation is high, especially in four pivotal constituencies that have become the center of heated discussions. While most of exit polls have predicted the victory of TDP-JSP-BJP alliance, still the results are much awaited as there are multiple exit polls with varied predictions doing rounds.

Pithapuram: The Pawan Kalyan Impact

Pithapuram has captured attention due to Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan’s candidacy. Supported by the film industry, his campaign has been robust. YSRCP’s candidate, Geetha, has been bolstered by Jagan Mohan Reddy’s promise to make her Deputy Chief Minister if elected, making this constituency a key battleground. As of now most of the surveys predicted the victory of Pawan Kalyan but Janasena fans are keen on the majority Pawan is going to get. Undoubtedly he is the man of the match called 2024 AP elections.

Hindupur: Balakrishna’s Hat-Trick Attempt

Nandamuri Balakrishna seeks a third term from Hindupur, having won previously with significant margins. Confident of his victory, Balakrishna is aiming for a hat-trick. YSRCP’s candidate, BC leader Koduri Deepika, poses a challenge, but prevailing sentiments still favor Balakrishna. YSRCP attempted to do social engineering by consolidating BC votes this time. Fans are keen on this constituency and they are expecting Bala Krishna to join the cabinet this time.

Kuppam: A Stronghold Under Siege

Kuppam is the stronghold of Chandrababu Naidu. This time, Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is determined to unseat him, promising unprecedented development and a ministerial position for local candidate Bharat. Despite YSRCP’s strong efforts, many believe dislodging Naidu remains a formidable challenge. A close contest would still be a moral victory for YSRCP.

Mangalagiri: Lokesh’s Redemption Bid

Nara Lokesh, who lost in 2019 by a narrow margin, is determined to reclaim Mangalagiri. Competing against Murugudu Lavanya, fielded by YSRCP, Lokesh is optimistic about a decisive win this time. The constituency’s outcome will be crucial for Lokesh’s political future. Lokesh has put his best efforts this time to secure victory from Mangalagiri.

As Andhra Pradesh waits for the final results, these constituencies are at the heart of the state’s political discourse, each holding significant implications for the involved parties and their leaders. In addition to these, Pulivendula assembly is keenly monitored to see whether any of the above four leaders will get more majority than Jagan this time.

Modi is world’s most powerful leader, says Lokesh

Describing the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, as the most powerful leader in the world, TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Wednesday felt that the country gets all kinds of benefits only if there is a stabilised Government at the Centre.

Addressing a huge gathering at Kalikiri in Pileru Assembly segment of Annamayya district as part of electioneering flanked by Modi, the TDP general secretary said that the people have witnessed how the country progressed well and marched on the developing path in the past 10 years. Showering all praises on Modi, he said that Modi is a guarantee for the whole country and only Modi knows how to create assets for the nation.

Terming Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, as the cancer cell plaguing Rayalaseema, Lokesh said that the people from this region got carried away in 2019 elections as Jagan claimed that he is the son of this soil. In fact, Rayalaseema has moved 30 years backward with the destructive rule of Jagan, he remarked.

Praja Galam is formulated only to correct the prevailing conditions in Rayalaseema, Lokesh said and stated that Jana Sena chief, Pawan Kalyan, has sacrificed several things only to enter into an alliance with the TDP and the BJP. Pawan has openly and daringly declared that power is not important for him but the welfare of the people of the State, he said.

Vikasitha Bharat is the dream of Modi while Vikasitha Rayalaseema is the dream of TDP supremo, Nara Chandrababu Naidu and Pawan Kalyan, the TDP general secretary noted. Recalling how the journey of Andhra Pradesh has started in 2014 after the bifurcation of the State, Lokesh said that with the experience and the vision of Chandrababu Naidu Rayalaseema is marching on a much progressive path.

Informing the people about various welfare programmes implemented during the TDP regime like safe drinking water to every doorstep and establishment of Kia Motors company in Anantapur, Lokesh said that he is fortunate enough to hold the portfolio of Panchayat Raj which helped him totally transform the rural parts in Rayalaseema through Employment Guarantee scheme. “During my pada yatra, I have personally witnessed the problems being faced by the people in this region and the coming TDP allied NDA government will certainly focus on these issues and find a solution,” he said.

Lokesh also declared that Kadapa will be upgraded as the sports capital of Andhra Pradesh and sought the cooperation of the people here to realise this. Lokesh gave a call to the people to cooperate for “phir yek baar Modi circar” and assured Modi that the people of the State will certainly become partners in achieving the goal of winning 400 Lok Sabha seats in these elections.

Lokesh suspects YSRCP planning to create disturbances in polls

The people of the State who had bitter experiences in the past five years in this chaotic rule are now ready to vote for the TDP allied National Democratic Alliance (NDA) with huge majority, observed TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Saturday.

The umpteen conspiracies being hatched by Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, will not stop the triumph of the NDA in these elections, Lokesh said while interacting with the residents of Samruddhi Apartments and the nearby areas in Tadepalle of Mangalagiri Assembly segment as part of his election campaign. Maintaining that these elections are very crucial for the future of the State, Lokesh suspected that the ruling YSRCP leaders will deliberately create some trouble in these elections.

“The people should patiently bear this and exercise their franchise,” the TDP national general secretary told them. Regretting that the YSRCP Government has turned the ganja cultivation as a cottage industry, Lokesh said that during his recent visit to Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu the people there too complained that ganja is being supplied to them from Andhra Pradesh.

The pressing of the button is after raising large amount of loans, he said, adding that the ruling party is imposing a heavy financial burden on those who are receiving these benefits in the shape of taxes. During the TDP regime globally famous industries like Kia, TCL, HCL and other companies launched their units in the State providing employment to lakhs of youth, Lokesh said and pointed out that not even a single industry has been launched in the State after Jagan came to power.

Jagan, who started his rule by demolishing the Praja Vedika in 2019, totally damaged the State with his reverse rule, he regretted. But Jagan has built a palatial bungalow in Visakhapatnam with Rs 500 cr totally violating the norms and the Centre has imposed a fine of Rs 200 cr on this as there is no permission for constructing this palace, he pointed out. Thus, Jagan has wasted a whopping Rs 700 cr public money for his personal gains and housing units would have been built for the poor in Mangalagiri with the same amount, he remarked.

Promising to focus on setting up industries across the State by the coming NDA government after a detailed study on the facilities available locally, Lokesh said that Information Technology (IT) industries will be set up in Visakhapatnam, pharma companies in Srikakulam, aqua industry will be developed in the Godavari districts, electronics in Chittoor district and automobile industry in Anantapur besides promoting the defense industries in different parts of the State. “Thus, we are planning to create 20 lakh jobs for the youth in the coming five years, almost doubling the State revenue,” he added.

Stating that the goal of the TDP is to transform the State into a trillion dollar economy, Lokesh made it clear that the coming TDP allied NDA government will certainly strive hard to achieve this target.

TDP demands immediate replacement of DGP, Intelligence chief

The famous mobile manufacturing company Apple has sent a security alert to TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, that his phone is being hacked.

The Apple company has sent an e-mail to Lokesh that efforts are being made to hack and tap his phone with some unidentified software and alerted him to take some precautionary measures. The TDP leaders on Friday said that only the YSRCP leaders are resorting to this criminal offence.

Senior TDP leader and former MP, Kanakamedala Ravindra Kumar, who is also a senior advocate, on Friday lodged a complaint with the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC). In a letter addressed to the CEC, Ravindra Kumar said that Lokesh’s I-Phone has been tapped using Pegasus software by certain unknown agencies.

Mentioning that similar alert was received by Lokesh a few days ago also, the Rajya Sabha member said that the Director General of Police (DGP), Rajendranath Reddy, and the Intelligence chief, PSR Anjaneyulu, have become virtual lackeys of the ruling YSRCP resorting to highly unethical and unlawful activities only to jeopardise the prospects of the NDA alliance partners in the ongoing elections to the Assembly and the Lok Sabha.

Rajendranath Reddy has been holding the position of the DGP only as the incharge for the past two years, Kanakamedala said in the letter and felt that this is violative of the Supreme Court orders. The TDP MP also said that Anjaneyulu has been acting as a henchman to the State Government and there are several allegations against him on his biased functioning.

Ravinda Kumar demanded immediate action by the Election Commission of India (ECI) against these officers. The MP also wanted neutral and reputed officers in these posts to ensure free and fair elections.

RK blocked Mangalagiri development with court cases, says Lokesh

Mangalagiri sitting MLA, Alla Ramakrishna Reddy, has created obstructions for the development of the area by filing cases before the courts and the seed access road connecting Amaravathi with Mangalagiri is the best example of this, said TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Sunday.

If Ramakrishna Reddy has any commitment to develop Mangalagiri he should immediately withdraw the cases pending before the courts, Lokesh said while interacting with the residents of RR Rachana Apartments and nearby areas in Kolanukonda as part of the election campaign in the Assembly segment. “I am promising you all that within a short period of the people’s government formed I will take measures to complete all the roads linking the State capital Amaravathi,” Lokesh said.

The TDP general secretary is confident that once the Amaravathi reconstruction is started by the coming TDP allied NDA government in the State, lakhs of youth will get employment opportunities. Lokesh made an appeal to the youth and intellectual community to think how the development of the State got totally damaged by electing Jagan Mohan Reddy as the Chief Minister, who sought one chance.

Jagan is interested in building palaces at every town than on developing the State, he remarked. Calling Ramakrishna Reddy as the Karakatta Kamal Hassan, the TDP national general secretary said that the MLA is misleading the people by claiming that there are no opportunities for the industries to be set up in Mangalagiri. If that is the case and if RK is correct how the Information Technology (IT) companies launched their own units in Mangalagiri during the TDP regime between 2014 and 2019, he asked.

Lokesh felt that commitment is needed to develop any area and said that though the TDP is not in power now he managed to get an IT company to set up its unit in Mangalagiri thus providing an opportunity to the youth to get 150 jobs. “I have implemented 29 various welfare schemes with my own funds but what RK who has enjoyed power for 25 years did for the area” he questioned.

Asking whether RK has taken at least 10 per cent of the developmental works till now that he has undertaken in the past five years except imposing heavy financial burden on the Tadepalli-Mangalagiri people in the name of upgrading it as a corporation, Lokesh said that if he is elected as MLA now he will take up more developmental works making the Assembly segment as number one in the country. Lokesh also promised to provide employment opportunities to the goldsmiths by setting up a gold cluster here.

This apart, Lokesh assured the youth that he will also provide maximum employment opportunities to them by inviting various IT companies to establish their units in this area. The residents of Kolanukonda wanted approach roads to be built connecting Amaravati which Lokesh promised to take up immediately after coming to power.

Observing that the ruling dispensation is deliberately creating some hurdles to the people here to prevent them from exercising their franchise, Lokesh made an appeal to them to go the polling booths and utilise the right to vote. The coming TDP allied NDA government is going to decide the future of the State and the people, he added.

Will inviting industries to provide jobs to youth, says Lokesh

“The majority that the people of Mangalagiri are going to give to me in these elections will give me great strength which will boost my morale to take up new projects in the coming days for the overall development of Mangalagiri,” said TDP general secretary, Nara Lokesh, on Saturday.

Lokesh had a meeting with the residents of the Pujitha Apartments and the nearby residential buildings at Tadepalli in Mangalagiri as part of the election campaign. “The inefficient YSRCP leader and sitting MLA, Alla Ramakrishna Reddy, has been making ameturish statements that industries will not come to Mangalagiri. If such an opportunity is not available here how Continental Coffee, Coca-Cola unit and Information Technology (IT) units were launched in Auto Nagar during the TDP regime, he asked.

Observing that due to the destructive politics in the past five years not even a single new industry has been launched in the State and not even a single job opportunity was created, Mr Lokesh said and felt that the YSRCP leaders who are now holding power do not have even a basic knowledge as to how to invite industries to the State. This is resulting in the youth migrating to other States in search of employment,” the TDP national general secretary said.

Observing that he had implemented 29 kinds of various welfare programmes in Mangalagiri in the past five years, Lokesh said that he was instrumental in setting up an IT company here to provide 150 jobs to the local youth. Lokesh is of the opinion that Mangalagiri has all the amenities to develop as one of the developed Assembly segments in the country and promised to establish a gold cluster once the people’s government of the TDP allied NDA is into power to provide jobs to 40,000 youth.

Implementing the welfare schemes by raising loans will only result in imposing a huge financial burden on the people, Lokesh said and felt that the development should always be taken up by creating assets but not by hiking taxes and prices that will only have a major impact on the common man. “I am confident that we will certainly reach this target and provide 20 lakh jobs to the youth by inviting various kinds of industries to the State,” he added. Lokesh also promised to allot lands in Amaravathi within two months of coming to power to those who have sacrificed their lands for the extension of the airport.

The residents of Pujitha Apartments and other buildings in the area narrated their cup of woes that the buildings owners are not giving them the necessary documents despite clearing all the dues. They also wanted Amaravathi to be developed as a cultural and heritage centre. Lokesh promised to resolve their issues immediately after coming to power and also an underground drainage facility will be provided in the area.
