Nara Lokesh posted a tweet expressing major concern about his father’s health. He wrote:
“There is an undeniable and immediate threat to CBN’s life. He is being deliberately harmed. His safety is unquestionably at risk. CBN is facing a dire situation, dealing with mosquitoes, contaminated water, weight loss, infections, and allergies, all without access to timely medical assistance. The GoAP is trying to administer steroids to him. ”
KTR, during a media chat, responded by expressing his sympathy and recalling his personal experience during his father’s fast unto death.
If this is true, it is an unfortunate situation. I am not aware of the facts, but if this is true, it is not good in politics.
He is a 73-year-old leader. As a son also, I can understand Nara Lokesh’s position. It is not right. There are so many things we do in politics, but this is not right.
I can relate to Lokesh and I can understand what the family is going through. My sympathies are with them.
When my father was in NIMS during his fast unto death during Telangana agitation in 2009, as a son, I know the pain. IG intelligence came, took me aside and threatened me during Rosaiah’s regime that your father will be brain dead tomorrow and die in 4 days. You are mad people, no one is caring about you in Delhi. When I didn’t budge, a lady police officer took my mother to tell the same. At a personal level, as an individual, I didn’t feel good seeing this tweet. Politics is different. I can relate to it as a son.
Some people criticized KTR for what they perceived as rapidly changing stances for settler votes, while others supported his statements.
