Poor Lokesh... whatever he does these days is boomeranging and is boomeranging badly at that. During the lockdown, he and his father have made guest appearances in Andhra Pradesh, while remaining in the safety of their Hyderabad residence. This has earned a very bad name for him and his father Chandrababu Naidu.
As if to offset this, he planned to visit flood and rain hit areas of West Godavari. With his attendant pro-TDP media, he hoped to make it into a memorable photo-op. So, he instructed the party cadre to organise a huge rally on his arrival. Accordingly a tractor rally was organised as part of the flood damage inspection tour. Seeing a large number of tractors, Lokesh felt that this was the time he should get on top of a tractor and drive it himself. He that that would make a very good publicity material for him. So, he jumped onto a tractor and caught hold of the steering.
But as bad luck would have it, Lokesh, who did not have any experience of driving a tractor, lost control of the steering and the mega vehicle simply veered to one side. It was almost about to fall into a drain. At that instant, local MLA M Rajaraju noticed this and suddenly applied brakes. If this did not happen at the right moment, there would have been a mega mishap.
This gave grist to the detractors who began commenting both on social media and outside that Lokesh should first learn how to drive a tractor, before driving the party.
