Andhra Pradesh IT Minister, Nara Lokesh is a very big fan of the sport of Cricket. This is the main reason why he is frequently spotted at international games and also the IPL games at the stadiums.

The opposition YSR Congress built a narrative against this by saying that Lokesh is wasting public money on costly travel and luxury tickets for these games.

But at the fundamental level, Lokesh travels to these Cricket matches and pays for the accommodation from his own pocket, and there is not a single rupee that is spent from the government finances.

More importantly, Lokesh is getting some crucial work done at these Cricket matches, and this was confirmed by himself at a national conclave today.

“You would not believe the kind of work that I’m getting done at these Cricket matches with all the socialising and networking that I’m getting to do. I have the opportunity to meet big representative and industrialists at these big games and apply my Andhra Pradesh Project to the fullest capacity.” Lokesh said.

Lokesh went on to point out that he applies the ABC principle “Always busy closing” at these cricket games. He categorically put it out there that he gets the time to meet with industrialists and promote the Andhra Pradesh project with them, which in turn invites investments to the state.

While the opposition YSR Congress has been looking to build a narrative against Lokesh for his presence at Cricket matches, he appears to be getting things done actively for the state.
