Former minister and Telugu Desam Party politburo member Ayyanna Patrudu said on Thursday that Nara Brahmini, wife of Nara Lokesh will lead the party in the event of Lokesh’s arrest.
Talking to the media during a protest programme the TDP held in MVP Colony on Thursday, Partrudu referred to reports that the YSRCP government might arrest Lokesh after he reaches Rajahmundry from New Delhi.“This issue is being discussed by senior TDP leaders in Delhi and Vijayawada,” he said.
“They put Chandrababu in jail.Lokesh is ready to go to jail.Many forces are trying to destroy the TDP but they will not succeed,” Patudu said.
“If necessary, Lokesh’s wife Brahmani will lead the party.There is no dearth of leaders in the Telugu Desam Party,” he stressed.
Patrudu said the TDP government had even laid roads for Jagan Reddy’s pada yatra and deployed two ambulances for his protection.“In turn, Jagan now bans protests and rallies by the Opposition parties,” he said.
“They put me under house arrest for three days and later called me to the police station and grilled me.In all, the police filed 15 cases against me.They will file another case and put me in jail.I am ready to sacrifice my life for the causes of the party,’’ the former minister said.
Claiming that the YSRCP era was over, Patrudu said the next government would be formed by the TDP.“We will restore order in the state.”
