HYDERABAD, May 8, 2015 (Agency)  Nara Lokesh, coordinator of Telugu Desam Party Workers' Welfare Fund and son of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu met United States President Barack Obama at Portland in US on Friday.Mr. Lokesh is on a tour of the US seeking support from Non-Resident Telugus in attracting investments to Andhra Pradesh and in improving basic amenities in villages.During his meeting after a warm handshake, Mr. Lokesh briefed Mr. Obama about 'smart cities" project, new industrial policy and the various development programmes being implemented by Telugu Desam Government in the State, according to a note released by the TDP office here.Mr. Obama is believed to have told Mr. Lokesh that he heard a lot about his father, Mr. Chandrababu Naidu and asked him to convey his best wishes. The pro-Chandrababu Naidu media went ga ga over his son Nara Lokesh Naidu's scheduled meeting with US President Barack Obama on May 7.They



also mocked at Telangana IT Minister K T Rama Rao, who had also gone to the US but failed to get an appointment with the US President.However, according to latest reports, the so-called meeting of Lokesh with Obama was just a hoax and a publicity stunt.A report published in Namasthe Telangana, mouth piece of TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao, says that Obama had not given any appointment to Lokesh.All that Obama did was to throw a dinner party and those who want to take part in dinner would have to pay money. So, our Lokesh Babu had bought a seat in the dinner meet by paying 10,000 US dollars and thus, would get a chance to shake hands with Obama. And Lokesh will ensure that he would get a photograph clicked with Obama and the pro-Naidu media will splash it on the front page, saying Lokesh had a one-on-one meeting Obama to brief him about the massive development taking place in Andhra Pradesh and plans to construct the new capital!
