Nara lokesh, the son of telugu desam party general secretary and former andhra pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, appears to believe that if he employs foul language in his speeches or media appearances, he will gain public attention. He frequently uses the term "peekudu" (plucking) to criticise his congress PARTY' target='_blank' title='ysr congress-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>ysr congress opponents. Of course, his father Naidu used to use the term frequently, but he has stopped, whereas lokesh continues to do so.

On Monday, the younger Naidu used the same word to describe the jagan government's witch-hunt against him. In connection with a police complaint against him for violating Covid-19 guidelines during the arrest of tdp state president K Achannaidu last year, he had to appear in vijayawada metropolitan magistrate court. "Jagan is incapable of plucking a single strand of my hair. His administration had made multiple complaints against me, alleging that I was involved in various schemes, but they were unable to find anything. Now it has hauled me to court on frivolous claims of violating Covid-19 limits," he explained.

In the previous three years, the jagan government has filed 14 complaints against lokesh, according to him. "In all of these cases, they were unable to extract anything. Let them file ten more cases against me, but they will still be unable to extract anything," he stated. He said that he had gone to court since he had not done anything wrong. He claimed, "I have not requested any adjournments in the cases like jagan does." The tdp general secretary stated that he was open to any dialogue about the corruption allegations levelled against him since 2016.
