Lokesh Wants Jagan to Apologise for Skipping Flag Hoisting
"Not hoisting the Tricolour on Independence Day is not just arrogance, it is a deep insult to our country’s freedom struggle," Lokesh posted on social media platform X
VIJAYAWADA: Education minister Nara Lokesh demanded that former Chief Minister and YSR Congress Party president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy should tender an apology to the nation for skipping hoisting of the national flag on Independence Day.
"Not hoisting the Tricolour on Independence Day is not just arrogance, it is a deep insult to our country’s freedom struggle," Lokesh posted on social media platform X.
Several other Telugu Desam leaders have criticised Jagan Mohan Reddy for not hoisting the national flag on the occasion of the 79th Independence Day. Senior TD leader and Sarvepalli MLA Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy sought to know why Jagan, despite being the president of a political party, failed to understand the significance of the Independence Day.
Senior leader and Ponnur MLA Dhulipalla Narendra Kumar accused Jagan Mohan Reddy of insulting the freedom fighters by not unfurling the national flag. He suspected that this may be because of YSRC party’s defeat in the Pulivendula ZPTC by-election may be the reason for Jagan's frustration.
