KCR fears debate with Chandrababu: Nara Lokesh

The Telugu Desam Party Workers' Fund convener and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu's son Nara Lokesh severly criticized Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao saying the latter had no vision.

Lokesh asserted that he had every right to slam KCR for instigating people against them and spreading hatred.

“I have every right to be critical of KCR. He is a person who is propagating hatred. They burnt down party offices and are sending SMSes to burn Opposition party offices. Nobody who has promoted hatred against another region has ever progressed. Take North Korea for example, which propagates hatred against South Korea. But the latter does not and only talks about progress,” he told a leading english daily.

The future for the TRS in 2019 was bleak, he said, adding KCR had slowed down development in Hyderabad which had been built by Chandrababu with lots of efforts. TRS got Telangana only because of the Telangana sentiment, he said.

Lokesh also said that KCR did not have the guts to face the TDP leader in a debate.
