Lokesh Strong Ground To Cancel Jagan’s Bail

Nara Lokesh is waging a legal battle against Sakshi for a defamatory article on him in 2019.

He filed a defamation suit for 75 Crore on Sakshi for their article ‘చినబాబు తిండికి 25 లక్షలండి’. Since 2019, Lokesh has attended the 12th Additional Court in Vizag many times. Even after coming to power recently, he attended the court at least three times.

He is in Vizag today to attend the court proceedings.

In contrast, Jagan Mohan Reddy is evading the court proceedings in his disproportionate assets cases and also the Kodi Kathi Case.

Between 2019 and 2024, he used to file exemption petitions saying that his schedule was cramped as the Chief Minister and could not attend. He also cited security issues because he was the Chief Minister back then.

The accused in the Kodi Kathi case had to languish in jail for more than four years just because Jagan did not find time to give his statement.

Now, Jagan is just an MLA. He is not even an Opposition leader. He barely goes to his constituency as well. We frequently see him go to resting in his Bengaluru Palace.

And he is still allowed to evade the court in his cases and Kodi Kathi’s case.

Nara Lokesh despite handling the highest number of portfolios in Chandrababu’s cabinet is respecting the Judiciary by attending every single hearing.

Jagan is intentionally delaying the cases and wasting the judiciary’s time by not attending the court hearings.

This should be a solid ground for canceling Jagan’s Bail, legal experts say.

“Someone should file a petition against Jagan citing how Nara Lokesh is able to attend the court hearings despite his busy schedule. The judiciary should ensure Jagan attend the court or cancel his bail”, they say.
