Speaking at a party meeting in Rajahmundry, Lokesh questioned whether there was any reason to fear such threats. He reminded party workers of what happened to leaders who made similar claims in the past.

Lokesh said the opposition has recently started instigating with the slogan "rappa rappa." He warned that his party would respond with double the strength if provoked.

He added that only three pages of the red book have been covered so far. According to him, many pages are still left, and he knows when and against whom action should be taken.

Lokesh made it clear that no one who violates the law will be spared. He stressed that action will be taken strictly as and when required.

He also spoke about internal reforms within the party. Lokesh said he fought with Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on reforms and continues to debate issues even with Chandrababu Naidu.

However, Lokesh clarified that once Chandrababu Naidu takes a decision, he follows it without hesitation. He said reforms were introduced in line with social changes.

Calling TDP karyakartas his family, Lokesh said Anjireddy tata, Manjula, and Thota Chandrayya were his inspirations. He recalled that Chandrayya's son was given a job after Chandrayya died while fighting.

Lokesh described Chandrababu Naidu as Andhra Pradesh's brand. He said Kuppam and Hindupur are party forts, and added that Mangalagiri and Rajahmundry must also become strongholds.

He accepted the challenge of Adireddy Srinivas, who wants to compete with Mangalagiri. Lokesh said Srinivas's family stood by the party during difficult times.

He assured party members that the alliance will contest together for the next 15 years. Later, Lokesh distributed certificates for good performance and interacted with the cadre.

The meeting was attended by several prominent local leaders from Rajahmundry.
