Nara Lokesh Apologizes to Kurnool Resident—What Really Happened?

In a rare public move, Andhra Pradesh Minister Nara Lokesh issued an apology to a citizen, Rishik from Kurnool district, after a mishandled complaint caught the attention of social media. Known for his hands-on approach to governance, Lokesh took personal responsibility for the error and promised swift action to correct it.

The incident began when Rishik submitted a complaint through the Prajadarbar platform on August 7th, which was promptly acknowledged by Lokesh’s team. However, just two days later, Rishik received a message stating that his issue had been resolved—only to find that nothing had changed. Frustrated, he took to social media, tagging Lokesh in a tweet that exposed the discrepancy and called for accountability among the municipal and collector’s office employees.

What happened next surprised many. Rather than deflecting blame, Lokesh immediately responded with an apology, acknowledging the mistake and vowing to address the issue personally. He assured Rishik that his team would work directly with the concerned authorities to resolve the problem and prevent such errors in the future.

This public apology has not only highlighted Lokesh’s dedication to addressing citizen concerns but also sparked a broader conversation about accountability and transparency in government services.
