Lokesh Explains How His Assets Grew To Rs 330Crs

Share

Nara Lokesh has called on for a sensational press conference. In his first-ever media interaction after filing his nomination, Lokesh has clarified all the rumours surrounding his assets.

Responding to news reports that his assets have ‘grown’ by 23 times in 5 months i.e from Rs 14.5 Crore to Rs 330 Crore, Lokesh said that the value of his assets grew only after the rise of value of his shares of Heritage Foods Limited.

My declaration of assets last October was based on acquisition value. EC guidelines stipulate that the true market value should be disclosed so I declared the assets’ value as per latest market rates. I had inherited Heritage Foods shares from my father in 1998 and I own 23,66,400 shares and the market value of each share was less than Rs 200 till 2010. Now the share value is around Rs 1,100 which increased the total value of the shares that I own to Rs 273 crore,” he said.

Lokesh didn’t mince words in taking on arch rival Jagan Reddy. “It took 12 months for shares of Jagati to grow from Rs 10 to Rs 1200 whereas it took 20 years for Heritage shares to touch Rs 1100.” Lokesh pointed out that YS Rajasekhar Reddy had been Chief Minister for six years and there were several allegations against Jagan Reddy whereas he pointed out that his family has been in power for over 20 years yet no allegation was against him.

“He has 23 cases (section 420) against him. He is A-1 in 12 chargesheets. He went to jail for 16 months. Because of him 6 IAS officers were jailed and 2 industrialists were jailed. It’s unfortunate that a newspaper owned by such person is spreading false propaganda against me,” Lokesh hit out at Jagan and his paper Sakshi. The TDP’s National General Secretary further questioned that he will decide on whether to move legally against paper or not but he said he called for press conference to clarify to people.

“They’re trying to believe a lie by repeating it 100 times. So, I have to clarify the truth. They had alleged that Chandrababu garu had said ‘agriculture is waste’ and they did wrong propaganda. Even today I challenge whether there’s any video footage or a paper clip about such a statement of him in any media?” Lokesh questioned.

Nara Lokesh added, “TDP is the only political party in our country which has been declaring its assets publicly for the last six years. We have been very transparent in our assets. Why am I now unnecessarily targeted? I need an answer. His paper (Sakshi) is deliberately circulating such false propaganda against me.”

Lokesh concluded saying that he is neither answerable to Jagan or his Sakshi paper whereas he is only answerable to people. He said he is ready for open debate on his assets and Jagan’s assets. He recalled that he had invited Jagan for open debate on assets earlier but he didn’t take up challenge then.

Krishna Never Liked Her Becoming A Heroine

Superstar Krishna’s family members are most of the time into acting business and that often happens in any other film families as well. But the shocking part is that his daughter Manjula never became a heroine, thanks to his humongous fan base. And she revealed some interesting things about that episode.

“Actually Dad didn’t approve my decision to become a heroine and only gave a half-hearted consent, which I understood later. As fans objected to my debut as a commercial heroine, I thought of taking up some content-based films at least. But at the end got bored and upset that I’ve to lay many conditions to directors, saying I’ll not do this scene, wear that dress, etc. Finally took a decision to give up my dreams of becoming a leading lady” said Manjula, speaking with a leading Telugu daily.

At the same time, Manjula stated that she felt always happy for respecting her dad and also fans’ decision because any mistake from a woman could bring bad reputation to the whole family. But in case if her 10-year-old daughter Janvi wants to become a heroine in the coming future, Manjula is all ‘yes’ for her.

It could be recollected that Manjula started a film alongside Nandamuri Balakrishna as a leading lady and then fans have disrupted the shooting of the same movie, forcing her to leave the sets.

He is nobody to tell me to Leave: Kangana

Share

There seems to be no end for the war-of-words between Kangana Ranaut & Karan Johar. While being on the show ‘Koffee with Karan’, Kangana accused Karan of being torch-bearer of nepotism and film mafia. In response, Karan Johar told he is fed up with Kangana playing victim card all the time. He even dared to say, ‘Kangana is free to leave the Industry if she hates to be part of it’. Last but not least, The Filmmaker claims to be generous enough not to edit the rude comments made by the ‘Queen’ Star against him on his show.

Known to be the one who is good at settling scores with her rivals, Kangana replied: ‘I am really surprised to hear Karan say he is gracious in choosing not to edit the episode. Had if something like that happened, I would have certainly blacklisted that channel. Not to forget, Any Channel wants TRPs and Karan is just a paid host. Indian Film Industry isn’t a small studio given to him by his father. This Industry belongs to every Indian and he is nobody to tell me to leave. I’m definitely not going anywhere Mr.Johar’.

The ‘Rangoon’ Star clarifies she was using the ‘badass card’ not the ‘victim card’ or ‘woman card’ as accused by Karan Johar. She also discloses Karan’s Team has requested her Team for months to make her participate in ‘Koffee with Karan’.

Manipur (60):

Party VMR India News India TV Chanakya
BJP 28
Congress 20
Others 12

The five states went to polls from February 4 to March 8, 2017.

The biggest scramble is for UP’s 403 seats where campaign saw the bitterest battle of them all with even Prime Minister Narendra Modi throwing in his might to up the chances of his party.

The faction-ridden party in power, the Samajwadi Party, has found an unlikely ally in the Congress in these elections, but whether they can notch up 2012’s SP tally of 224 seats is anybody’s guess.

Some predict that the BSP – last tally 80 seats – can emerge the dark horse.

The BJP had swept the Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh in 2014 with 71 of the 80 seats.

117 constituencies in Punjab voted on a single day on February 4. Things look a little tough for incumbent Chief Minister and BJP ally, SAD’s Parkash Singh Badal.

In 2012, the Congress was the single largest party with 46 seats but the SAD-BJP alliance came to power with 68. BJP won 12 seats in 2012.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is said to be a major contender in Punjab, with some opinion polls ahead of the elections predicting a victory for it.

Congress has been in power in Manipur for three terms now but the economic blockade and the resultant violence may have dented its chances a bit.

Congress had got 42 seats to Trinamool Congress’ 7 in the last elections.

The Aam Aadmi Party makes its debut this year in Goa to see if it can get a few of its 40 seats. Union Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar led the NDA charge in Goa this campaign. The BJP had got 21 and Congress 9. Analysts say the Goa Suraksha Manch, a new party on the block, may cut into the BJP voteshare this time.

Uttarakhand saw a revolt in the Congress last year when MLAs walked out from Congress Chief Minister Harish Rawat’s party resulting in nearly two months of President’s Rule.

It was a close fight in 2012 with the BJP winning 31 and the Congress 32 seats. This time, the results could be different.
