Did Nara Lokesh tour US on official agenda of the Andhra Pradesh government and with the approval from the Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu? Yes, say the officials of the IT along with I & PR Minister Dr Palle Raghunath Reddy.

The minister's men were trying to cover up the fact that two officials of the AP government had accompanied Nara Lokesh - Karthikeya Mishra (IAS) and Abhista (OSD) in office of Chandrababu Naidu.

We all know that Chandrababu Naidu's son Nara Lokesh was touring United States and had so far garnered NRI interest in adopting 137 villages under Smart village program. Lokesh had held road shows in several cities of the US and also met American President Barack Obama during a campaign meeting recently.

Palle Raghunath Reddy is leaving for Japan on a 4-day visit  to promote IT investment in the new state which has just 20,000 software engineers and a capacity for Rs.16,000 crore IT exports. "Our goal is to become the top state in IT exports by 2029," says Mr Reddy.

Reports from the US reveal that Obama had lauded the efforts and vision of Chandrababu Naidu and said, "Yes I have heard that Chandrababu is a hard task master and committed to development and welfare of the people".

So, there is no doubt that Nara Lokesh is the true brand ambassador of Andhra Pradesh and Chandrabababu is the chief custodian of the state.
