YSR Congress MP Vijaya Sai Reddy, the other day, approached Cyber Crime Police in Andhra Pradesh and filed a complaint against a Fake Twitter Account operating on his name. He also reported several anti-Government handles and urged the Police to take action immediately.
YSR Congress came to power in 2019 with a strong social media strategy. A Propaganda leashed against Chandrababu Government by the I-PAC team was later pushed to Whatsapp and has reached the common people. Jagan and Vijaya Sai Reddy knew the power of Social Media.
TDP Top Brass which neglected social media while in power, realized its importance after losing power. TDP looks like strengthening itself in the social media and YSR Congress is proactively reacting to nip it in the bud. A few arrests would demoralize the party cadre seems to be the strategy, according to the experts.
Such cases barely stand legal scrutiny, but people would never want to go to jail or courts. So, the Ruling Party seems to be using the same fear to stall the Opposition Party.
