Finally, at long last, Nara Lokesh has come before the press the other day. As usual, the press conference was a strictly stage-managed affair with pliant media and the party apparatchiks protectively guarding him from uncomfortable questions. Yet, there were moments where Lokesh was caught off the guard.
Till now Lokesh has been raving and ranting only through the social media. So, for the first time after the lockdown, he decided to address the issue of English medium. He read out prepared statements and quoted extensively from the reports in the "Yello Media." But, despite his best efforts, there were many moments when the media scribes had a hearty laugh at his expense. Not just that! Even some TDP activists had to strive hard to hide their laugh. It was the Q and A that was most entertaining. When someone asked him about why he was supporting Telugu medium, Lokesh said if one does not know Telugu, one would be like him. But, he did not reply to the question as to why he was sending his son to English medium school.
However, most guffaws were reserved for his answer, wherein he said that just his tweets were sending shivers down the spine of the YSRCP leaders. Imagine what will be their position, if I enter into the field after the shutdown. At this most scribes broke into peels of laughter.
