My father is languishing in jail due to the influence being exerted by Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, alleges Lokesh

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national general secretary N. Lokesh has expressed anguish that his father and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has been in jail for the last 43 days for allegedly masterminding the skill development scam, while all the other accused in the case are out on bail as Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is exerting his influence.

Addressing the TDP general body meeting on October 21, Mr. Lokesh said a conspiracy was hatched to register cases against his mother Bhuvaneswari as well as part of the YSR Congress Party’s (YSRCP) vindictive politics.

“The TDP will fight back with the support of its ally, Jana Sena Party (JSP), and ensure that the YSRCP is dislodged from power,” he asserted.
