YSR Congress, Telugu Desam, and Jana Sena have started their political games as these three parties revving their engines to lead a challenging election campaign. However, in the recent past, TDP and Jana Sena have been challenged by fake letters about the seat distribution between the two parties and fabricated statements in the name of TDP and JSP leaders to create internal rifts in the alliance.
In a similar attempt, the social media users who are against the TDP and JSP alliance are sharing a file interview clipping of Chandra Babu from 2019. In this video, Chandra Babu says he is ready to quit politics if the people of Andhra Pradesh have ulterior motives. This interview happened 5 years ago when Babu spoke with national media about how he is ready to quit politics if YCP goes to election again by announcing Amaravati is not the capital and if TDP loses, he will leave politics.
But this video is being trended on social media now without context, making it look like Chandra Babu made this statement today. This is an attempt to make it look like the TDP boss has no confidence in winning the coming election and he has given up. The social media campaign is intended to showcase that TDP has lost hope in the 2024 election.
At a time when Chandra Babu is actively holding Raa Kadaliraa programs, finalizing candidates, and working in association with Pawan Kalyan’s JSP, everyone would already know that something is off about this video. After running TDP in hostile conditions for 5 years with only 23 MLAs, and finalizing key alliances, Babu and TDP look ever so prepared for the election. This is enough to show the public that the out-of-context video is not relevant, a distinguished political analyst commented on the situation.
