Although the cycle yatra was to given up officially due to violent and tense seemandhra towns and regional crisis following T Bill episode in parliament, sources in state intelligence said that they received warning by some ultra groups that they would try to sabotage and stall the yatra . Reports said that the youth wing of TDP has been infiltrated by anti social elements and thus it will be impossible to guard the son of Chandrababu and ensure his safety , a report of the state VIP security wing was submitted to DGP and also informed to Chandrababu naidu . Even Bhajarang Dal activists had threatened the yatra to scuttle the TDP and BJP electoral alliance, they said
Sources in TDP said that they cycle yatra had also not received complete endorsement by the TDP politburo which wanted Lokesh to save his energy for the forthcoming election campaign coming up in a few days . ' No point in wasting energy now ', said a senior politburo member who said instead of cycle yatra , Lokesh should interact with youth across the state both on ' chats', hangouts and also through emails and SMS campaigns,as these routes were the popular for approaching the youth , said another politburo membeer
