With nothing much on the agenda and after vitiating the Andhra Pradesh politics by raking up the kapu issue, YSRCP has been making a huge issue of HR Minister Nara Lokesh going to Colombo to watch the India-Pakistan match.
Since the day Lokesh was spotted at the match, YSRCP is after him demanding to know where he got the money from to buy the match ticket and flight ticket. Even Jagan Mohan Reddy questioned about the use of private planes and Lokesh’s presence at Colombo.
Lokesh gave a transparent answer that everything was paid from his pocket. In fact, YSRCP chief Jagan went to the extent of saying that Lokesh could have watched it on television like he did.
Despite his clear answer, Lokesh was once again asked about the expenses during a media chit chat on Monday. Lokesh said he loved his country and saw nothing wrong in going to a cricket match. But this time, Lokesh was in a good mood and said that he would go to watch the T20 world cup final if India gets to the finals.
Now comes the interesting bit. This time, Lokesh offered to buy a ticket for Jagan to go to the match if he was interested. It left the reporters present quite amused. People of Andhra are saying that the offer showed Lokesh’s wit once again.
