Try Googling Nara Lokesh, Not ‘Pappu’!
While for some obvious reasons, the heir apparent of N. Chandrababu Naidu, Nara Lokesh, has been in the news after his photo surfaced in google search engine when a word — "Pappu" is typed. Apart from his embarrassing and tongue-in-cheek remarks during events, this issue seems to be bothering him much.
Besides the meaning of delicacy — dal, Pappu in Telugu language is colloquially referred to a dumb-face person.
Of late, the issue has apparently made him angry. After the arrest of Facebook page Political Punch's admin Ravi Kiran, the AP government is planning to crack a whip on such mongers in social media who propagate false news and caricature of political humor.
As part of this exercise, Lokesh, who was recently elevated as Minister, is learnt to have wrote to Google to erase his photo when a word – Pappu is searched. Subsequently, his images in google search engine seem to have been erased. However, there are two to three images constantly appearing for this famous word - Pappu.
What so ever, the gravity of the issue will again hog him the headlines with some of the media outlets blow the issue out of proportion for some views or TRPs.
Recently during a press meet, Lokesh sought clarification whether he is a Pappu or a corrupt leader. Lokesh had caught the officials and other TDP leaders off-guard with his question.
