Andhra Pradesh IT & HRD Minister Nara Lokesh on Wednesday (September 9, 2026) said truth prevailed in the skill development ‘scam’ case foisted by YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) on the then Leader of the Opposition, N. Chandrababu Naidu exactly three years ago – on September 9, 2023.
He stated in a social media post that Mr. Naidu was illegally imprisoned in the fabricated case for political gains and, for 53 days, the entire Telugu community worldwide supported him.
As Mr. Naidu chanted ‘let the truth prevail’, the allegations were proved to be wrong and he was ultimately released from illegal detention following the quashing of the FIR by the courts. “The truth has won. Remembering those dark days from back then… I once again express my heartfelt gratitude to the Telugu community for their support”, Mr. Lokesh added.
