When the locals narrated that they are being subjected to various kinds of harassment by the YSRCP leaders, Mr Lokesh said that several false cases, including even a murder case, were filed against him. “But I am not scared of such cases as getting fear is not in my bio-data,” he said.
Later, the students of the Government Degree College also met him and informed him that they are not getting their scholarships. “Though there are reports that schems like Vidya Deevena and Vasathi Deevena are being implemented, we are nto receiving any benefits. New courses are introduced in the college but there are no facilities,” they informed Mr Lokesh.
