The fact that Minister Nara Lokesh, who went to Delhi to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Teachers’ Day as the Education Minister, without participating in any official programs in the state, is attracting interest in political circles. Many suspect this meeting has some political significance.
Moreover, although it is said that he met for pending projects, it is noteworthy that no specific topic was revealed for the meeting now. Moreover, he met alone. After the cabinet meeting on Wednesday, he left for Delhi to meet the Prime Minister.
It is noteworthy that this meeting took place when the Vice Presidential elections are going to be held in four days. It is known that Lokesh has no other program in Delhi apart from this meeting. Prime Minister Modi unveiled the Yoga Andhra Table Book during this meeting that lasted for 45 minutes.
Official sources say that the two discussed development issues as well as the latest political developments. It is said that they discussed the central government’s assistance to AP, pending projects, implementation of central schemes and the latest political situation with the Prime Minister.
Lokesh congratulated Prime Minister Modi on the rationalization of GST slabs and the implementation of reforms. He also thanked Prime Minister Modi for reducing taxes on various items used in the education sector. He explained the details of investments in AP, establishment of industries, and the AP team’s visit to Singapore to the Prime Minister.
Minister Nara Lokesh thanked Prime Minister Modi for taking the decision to set up a semiconductor unit in Andhra Pradesh. Issues such as Singapore’s stance on Amaravati and Singapore’s assurance of cooperation in other projects except the capital were discussed. Lokesh also requested the Center to provide necessary assistance to the state.
On the other hand, it seems that the AP liquor scam may have been discussed in the political discussion. The SIT is going to file another charge sheet on the liquor scam soon. Preparations are being made to include former Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy’s name as an accused in this.
There is talk that Lokesh may have given information to the Prime Minister on this. It is believed that the Prime Minister was briefed on this matter to claim that he had informed the Center about it when Jagan was to be arrested tomorrow.
