To take the development of Hyderabad more into the public, the then ruling party of Telangana, BRS, has taken the commercial support of many Instagram influencers like Ashu Reddy and others. Those social media celebrities have made many videos regarding KCR and KTR’s vision for development, and those clips reached millions of views. Here’s the twist, however.
As the Congress party swept the election with the needed majority, all these social media celebs are said to have been shocked. Fearing backlash from the followers on social media, some of these influencers have actually deleted the videos they have created for the BRS party. The likes of Ashu Reddy have immediately deleted (or might have hidden) the reels and shorts on their respective social media pages after looking at the result.
Well, if they had added some disclaimer like ‘this is a promotional video’, surely things would have been easy. But then, these influencers have created those videos as if they are doing it out of love for the former rulers, not because of the vast remunerations they are paid. On the other hand, many media networks that took a stand for various parties are now in shock with the arrival of the Congress party into power, as they fear that the ruling class might witchhunt them now.
