Did Modi Instruct Shah to Engage with Lokesh?

Everyone was surprised when Lokesh had a meeting with Home Minister Amit Shah. Amit Shah hadn’t reached out to Lokesh in the 30 days following his father’s arrest, despite Lokesh being in Delhi, so why did they meet now?

The reason behind this is the Telangana BJP leaders, who were facing intense political pressure in the state before the general elections.

The Telugu people strongly believed that Jagan couldn’t have dared to arrest TDP President Chandrababu Naidu without approval from the BJP High Command.

Telangana BJP leaders briefed Amit Shah during his recent visit to Hyderabad for election campaigning, emphasizing the strong sentiment among people who had relocated from AP to Telangana on Chandrababu arrest.

Kishan Reddy expressed his frustration to Amit Shah, stating that the BJP might not secure a single seat in the GHMC area, and Congress would benefit instead.

In response, Amit Shah placed a call to Prime Minister Modi before discussing the impact of CBN’s arrest in Telangana with local leaders.

Reportedly, Prime Minister Modi advised Amit Shah to send signals that the BJP was not behind CBN’s arrest. Reportedly, Modi directed Amit Shah to talk with Lokesh in this regard.

If there were no election notifications for Telangana elections, it seems that the BJP would have taken a more casual approach to the issue.

However, it’s now too late for the BJP to take damage control measures regarding CBN’s detention.
