Andhra Pradesh IT Minister Lokesh took a broadside at YSR Congress Party President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and Jana Sena leader Pawan Kalyan. He dared Jagan to criticise Prime Minister Narendra Modi before targeting the TDP.

Lokesh said BJP led NDA government at the centre is responsible for the current crisis in Andhra Pradesh. If Jagan wanted to prove his sincerity on special status, the YSR Congress leader should criticise the centre first.

The minister also challenged Jana Sena leader Pawan Kalyan to make the evidences of corruption allegations public made against him by the film hero turned politicial leader recently. Lokesh suspected some anti TDP forces are misleading Pawan. It was his only family declared assets publicly in the country every year, he claimed.
