Nara lokesh reacted to comments like Pappu

Vijayawada, August 03: The Andhra Pradesh IT and panchayat raj minister Nara Lokesh has been reacted about comments on him like Pappu.

In an interview with a news channel, Lokesh said he would not care what his rivals or social media mongers call him but would focus on the task given to him by chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu.

"Well, I don't mind being called Pappu or uppu. If Pappu can start innovative schemes like Jalavani, installation of 40 lakh LED bulbs and underground drainage system in villages, then I am Pappu. If Uppu can do it, then I am uppu. Let the people decide what I am" Lokesh said.

The TDP general secretary said he was answerable to the people and not to the hatemongers, who sling mud at other in the form of cartoons and caricatures in the social media.



"What more can they do? They write two articles and run four programs and nothing more than that," he said.

When it was pointed out that even search engine Google shows his picture when people search for the word AP Pappu, Lokesh said he was not bothered about such silly issues.

"These social media campaigns don't demoralize me as I work for the people and am answerable to them," he said.
