Andhra Pradesh politics never fails to offer a mix of entertainment and controversy, and the latest episode involves former Chief Minister YS Jagan targeting IT Minister Nara Lokesh over his attendance at cricket matches.
Jagan questioned why Lokesh needed to attend matches in stadiums when he could watch them comfortably on TV at home. Reports in the Sakshi media alleged that Lokesh was spending crores of public money on flights and hotels to watch these games.
However, Lokesh hit back strongly, clarifying that he is spending only his own money and has never used government funds. In a witty retort, he added, “It is my own wish to decide whether I watch cricket matches on TV or in the stadium. If India qualifies for the finals of the T20 World Cup, I will go to the stadium again. If Jagan wants to join me, I will buy him a ticket as well.”
Lokesh’s response shows he is unfazed by the recent media activity from the ruling YCP, which has been targeting him over this issue. He has also confirmed that he plans to attend the next game if India reaches the finals.
Interestingly, Andhra Pradesh politics seems to be revolving around Tirumala Laddu controversies and cricket match appearances of political leaders, offering a curious mix of sport, personal choice, and public debate.
