After hearing the news of his father Chandrababu Naidu arrest, TDP National General Secretary Nara Lokesh tried to go to Nandyal. However, he was stopped by the police in Konaseema.

He expressed anger as to how they could prevent him from giving any kind of notice and questioned does he not have the right to visit his father. Lokesh protested by sitting on the floor.

Nara Lokesh further took to Twitter and slammed YS Jagan Mohan Reddy for acting in veneagance. He asked how can that arrest Naidu without giving prior notices and without an FIR.
