Eight workers lost their lives in an accident at the Visakha Steel Plant yesterday. Against this backdrop, Minister Lokesh arrived at the plant accompanied by Home Minister Vangalapudi Anitha.
Usually, when such accidents happen, leaders in Power will hesitate to go there because the emotions of the victims and their families will be high.
However, Lokesh did not mind that and went to the Steel Plant within hours of the accident.
Few Unions who were allegedly Pro-YSR Congress were well-prepared and tried to corner the government on this issue.
Meanwhile, communist leaders confronted Lokesh at KGH, demanding immediate clarity regarding compensation. Lokesh replied that he had not come merely to hand over money and wash his hands of the matter.
While they planned it perfectly, Lokesh lost his cool and sounded impatient. From there, Jagan’s Media and the rest of the YSR Congress ecosystem took over to corner the government.
It is understandable that Lokesh is disturbed by the unions trying to corner the government even though it was an accident. However, he lost control and sounded impatient.
When in power, it is important to maintain his cool. Even though it is a manufactured issue, it is not wise to enter confrontation mode especially when an accident has happened.
It is not the place to be aggressive. Now the anti-Government media is using that against the Government.
They are trying to portray it as anti-incumbency against the Government. So, Lokesh should be more careful going forward.
