Lokesh a political novice: Kadiyam

Hyderabad: Deputy Chief Minister Kadiyam Srihari has lashed out at Telugu Desam Party leaders for making cheap comments against the TRS government to benefit in the forthcoming civic polls. Addressing the media here on Wednesday, the Deputy Chief Minister described the Telugu Desam’s young leader Nara Lokesh as a political novice.

“The party did not learn a lesson from its defeats in the previous by polls. We will win the Narayankhed by poll with a handsome majority,” he said. Exuding confidence of winning over 100 divisions in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation elections, Kadiyam said the TRS would wrest Mayor post as per the surveys and pulse of the people.

Lokesh and other TDP leaders and its ally BJP were resorting to mud-slinging at the TRS for political mileage, he averred. He also fumed at the Opposition for its cheap criticism, he said. Brushing aside the TD’s claim of developing Hyderabad city,

which has many problems like drainage, traffic and others, Srihari said the TRS would show its prowess to transform Hyderabad into a global city on winning the majority seats in the civic polls. He also said they will keep the promise of providing shelter to the poor in the twin cities.
