Andhra Pradesh Minister for Tourism R K Roja gave mouthful to TDP general secretary Nara Lokesh on Tuesday asking him to know his limits.
Lokesh had called Roja as Jabardast Aunt during his padayatra the other day in Nagari constituency, which is represented by Roja.
Roja is known as a judge for the popular TV comedy show Jabardast, before becoming a minister in the AP cabinet.
Taking strong exception to Lokesh calling her Jabardast Aunt, Roja said that Lokesh had no right to criticise her.
“I am a proven leader. I won the Assembly elections twice and now I am a minister in the cabinet duly elected to the Assembly,” Roja said.
She said that Lokesh had become a minister without even getting elected to the Assembly and wondered how could he make any comment against the proven leaders like her.
“He is a failure man. I don’t consider him as leader. He lost the Assembly election. He did not win even a village ward election,” Roja said.
She also said that Lokesh could not speak even a single word or a single statement.
“Lokesh must learn to speak properly first before criticising others,” Roja said pooh-poohing his political statements.
