AP: We will stand by Telugu Diaspora who stood by us: Minister Lokesh

Vijayawada, Dec 7 (UNI) Andhra Pradesh Minister for Education and IT Nara Lokesh delivered a stirring address to thousands of Telugu NRIs at the Curtis Culwell Center in Dallas in America, promising unwavering government support to the Telugu diaspora across the world.
He said the Telugu Desam Party and his family would always cherish the people who stood by them during the most difficult years in the Opposition.
Lokesh recalled that when former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu was illegally arrested, Telugu people in the United States came out in huge numbers to support their leader. “You are not NRIs - you are MRIs: Most Reliable Indians,” Lokesh declared, crediting the diaspora for helping the NDA alliance achieve a historic mandate of 164 out of 175 seats in the state assembly.
