Chinna Babu Nara Lokesh is courting blooper after the blooper. And Opposition parties naturally cornering Lokesh for his goof-ups as he is a safe target and that is now turning out to be a big embarrassment to TDP and Chandrababu Naidu. The latest is his blooper on Machilipatnam Port which is drawing huge criticism on social media and making it easy for his trolls to take on him.
Speaking at a public rally the other day, Nara Lokesh invoked the sentiment of Andhra and attacked KCR for “fingering” in the politics of Andhra Pradesh. Lokesh alleged that KCR is coming into AP politics to stop Polavaram Irrigation Project and to take back the 7 merged mandals from AP to Telangana. This is alright.
But giving a huge shocker, Lokesh went a step further and alleged that KCR is putting all efforts to shift “Machilipatnam Port” from AP to Telangana. This is what causing laughs all over. What Lokesh meant was that Telangana government was trying to get hold of a port in Andhra Pradesh, but what Lokesh said was conveying a different meaning. As Telangana doesn’t even have a sea or a costal line, how can Telangana try to shift a Port from Andhra Pradesh to Telangana was the question on many lips. In a bid to level allegations on KCR & TRS, Lokesh seems to have crossed the line and have missed the logic. This may back-fire to the TDP. Hence many leaders of TDP wants Lokesh to be more careful while speaking in public.
While such faux pas are not new for Chinna Babu, he has to be more conscious while speaking in public domain as the elections are very close-by and one will pay a huge price even for small mistakes. PS : Lokesh needs good speech writers!
