Tue Jan 21 06:40:00 IST 2025: **Andhra Pradesh Minister Faces Chief Minister’s Wrath Over Lokesh’s Future CM Remarks**
Amaravati, [Date] – Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu expressed strong displeasure with Minister T.G. Bharat’s statement at the European Telugu Diaspora in Zurich, Switzerland, proclaiming Nara Lokesh as the future Chief Minister. Naidu reportedly reprimanded Bharat following the event, stressing the importance of responsible conduct and forethought in ministerial pronouncements.
Naidu reportedly questioned the appropriateness of such a statement at a Davos-like event aimed at attracting investment for the state. He emphasized that the gathering’s purpose was economic development, not political endorsements. Naidu firmly instructed Bharat against making similar comments in the future.
Bharat, in his speech, had declared Lokesh as the party’s future leader and the next Chief Minister, regardless of public opinion. This declaration has now drawn significant rebuke from the Chief Minister himself, highlighting the internal political dynamics within the ruling party.
