In a scathing attack on the TDP leader Nara Lokesh, the Minister for Tourism, Muttamsetti Srinivasa Rao, said that he (Nara Lokesh) should not try to politicise every issue, as it some times lead to bad taste. Addressing the media in Visakhapatnam on Tuesday, he alleged that Mr. Lokesh, who is the son of former Chief Minister, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, was trying to convert the grief of a family for political mileage. He was referring to Mr. Lokesh’s visit to Guntur on Monday and his comments on the gruesome murder of the engineering student, Nallapu Ramya. Mr. Rao said, “on one side the family is grieving and he (Mr. Lokesh) is trying to gain political brownie points. This was in bad taste and it should be condemned by all.”
