Amaravati, Feb 19 (IANS): Telugu Desam Party (TDP) general secretary Nara Lokesh has temporarily suspended his ongoing padyatra in view of the passing away of his cousin and actor Nandamuri Taraka Ratna.

Lokesh, whose 'Yuva Galam' padyatra was passing through Srikalahasti constituency in Chittoor district, stopped the foot march on learning about Taraka Ratna's death on Saturday night and left for Hyderabad.

Lokesh, son of TDP president and former chief minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, on Sunday paid their last respects to Taraka Ratna at the latter's house at Mokila in Rangaeddy district near Hyderabad. He was accompanied by his wife Brahmini.

Taraka Ratna's last rites are to be performed in Hyderabad on Monday.
