Arrogance, like potholes on roads, should be fixed first, says Nara Lokesh as war of words with Priyank Kharge intensifies

Andhra Pradesh IT Minister Nara Lokesh fired back at Karnataka IT-BT Minister Priyank Kharge, saying, “Arrogance, like potholes on roads, should be fixed first.”

“As India’s youngest state, we are looking for every opportunity to grow and generate jobs. I truly believe that as states compete for investments and employment, India will prosper. My humble suggestion—arrogance, like potholes on roads, should be fixed first before the journey gets tripped up,” he wrote on X.

Lokesh’s comment was in response to Kharge’s X post: “It is natural for weaker ecosystems to feed off stronger ones. Nothing wrong with that, but when it turns into desperate scavenging, it shows more weakness than strength,” Kharge had written.
