This follows recent public statements from several TDP leaders, who had called for Lokesh to be considered for the Deputy CM position. In a counter-reaction, Jana Sena leaders suggested that if Lokesh were appointed Deputy CM, TDP Chief N. Chandrababu Naidu should be made a Union Minister, and Pawan Kalyan should be considered for Deputy CM.
The controversy has gained widespread attention on social media, prompting both parties to issue warnings to their leaders to avoid further inflammatory statements. Lokesh’s recent comments are now a focal point of political discussions.
