Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu today defended his son and state Information Technology Minister Nara Lokesh saying the latter came into politics only to serve people and not to make money.
He asked those levelling corruption allegations against Lokesh if they could prove them.
Telugu film actor and Jana Sena Party founder-president Pawan Kalyan had recently accused the Chandrababu Naidu government of converting the state into "corrupt Andhra Pradesh."
Addressing the Jana Senas fourth anniversary celebrations two days ago, Kalyan, in particular, targetted the Chief Ministers son Lokesh, accusing him of indulging in "unbridled corruption."
