AP Minister Lokesh asks Congress leaders verify facts before tweeting

Vijayawada, Oct 4 (UNI) Andhra Pradesh Minister for IT Nara Lokesh has asked the Congress leaders to verify facts before tweeting, and he dismissed the allegation of Jairam Ramesh at the public meeting, which union Minister Nirmala Sitaraman addressed.
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on social media ‘X’ said: “The Finance Minister herself is seeing how much anger there is among the public. The Chief Minister had to silence the people.''
Responding to Jairam Ramesh’s allegation, Nara Lokesh said: “This is how fake news is manufactured, and then amplified by senior Congress leaders without even bothering to verify the facts. There was no disruption of the Finance Minister’s speech by local youth demanding jobs. The claim being circulated is completely false. A normal interaction with an enthusiastic gathering is being deliberately clipped, twisted, and given a fabricated narrative. Jairam Ramesh, surely a senior leader of your experience, should verify facts before tweeting. Deliberate misinformation is not on. delete the lie.”
