The official Twitter handle of the Telugu Desam Party has been hacked by unknown elements. Nara Lokesh today stated that an escalation has been raised with Twitter India to restore the account. He described the elements who have hacked the account as nefarious.

"Kindly note that our official party account @jaitdp has been hacked by nefarious elements. We are working with Twitter India to restore the account," Lokesh tweeted, alerting everyone.

From midnight of Friday, random messages have been put up by the hackers. 'Great job', 'Love This, 'Hurry Up Guys' and 'Awesome', followed by an unintelligible set of the alphabet have been posted.

Last year, AIMIM's Twitter account was hacked. It was restored later. Last month, the Twitter handle of BJP National President JP Nadda was hacked.
