Former chief minister and TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu's chapter has come to a close in Andhra Pradesh. He has been arrested and placed in judicial remand.
He made every effort to extricate himself from the case, pulling out all the stops to clear his name in the skill development corporation scam. However, circumstances did not favor him, and he ultimately found himself in the Rajamahendravaram central jail.
Now, attention has shifted to Nara Lokesh, as he becomes the second target for the Jagan Mohan Reddy government. Lokesh faces allegations in the skill development scam, alongside his father, and is also accused in the AP Fiber Grid scam.
CID officials are presently gathering evidence for Lokesh's arrest, which may take some time as they plan their next steps to apprehend him.
Lokesh has consistently delivered strong criticisms against Jagan Mohan Reddy from the outset, prompting YSR Congress leaders to predict that Lokesh may find himself in jail even before completing his Yuva Galam padayatra.
CID officials are diligently working to build a case against Lokesh, and it may only be a matter of weeks before they apprehend him.
It remains to be seen how long it will take for CID officials to apprehend Lokesh in connection with the scam and place him in jail.
