YSR Congress Party has been mocking Nara Lokesh by describing him as 'pappu'/'mudda pappu' since he was inducted into the AP Cabinet. Few inappropriate comments made by Chinnababu in the presence of media had also given scope for such kind of branding. Neverthless, The Minister took the nickname ('pappu') offered by political opponents in his stride.
In a recent interview, Nara Lokesh made it clear he won't bother whether his Political Rivals & Haters on Social Media address him as 'Pappu' or 'Uppu' as his focus is on completing the task given to him by AP CM Chandrababu Naidu. 'Whether they call me pappu or uppu, who cares? If a pappu can introduce innovative schemes like Jalavani, Underground drainage system in villages and Installation of 40 lakh LED bulbs across the state, Then I am Pappu. If uppu can do it, Then I am happy being called uppu. It's up to the people to decide what I am!,' he maintained.
Nara Lokesh says he is answerable to people not haters who indulge in mud-slinging activities. 'What else can they do other than writing two articles and airing four programmes?,' he asks.
When his reaction was sought on Google search engine showing his images when the word Pappu was searched, IT Minister told he doesn't bother about such silly issues. He added, Hate Campaigns on social media can't demoralize him at all.
