The Story in Brief
The Telugu Desam Party, Jana Sena Party and BJP in Andhra Pradesh have jointly warned their cadres against falling for what they call a YSR Congress party strategy to create differences within the ruling coalition. In a statement on Wednesday, the NDA social media coordination committee alleged that YSRCP sympathisers are running fake social media accounts, posing as supporters of one alliance partner while attacking leaders of another. The committee said these accounts are intended to provoke infighting and damage the reputation of coalition leaders.
The statement cited examples where a fake account praising chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu would criticise deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan, and vice versa. The committee urged genuine workers to exercise restraint, report suspicious posts to their party leadership, and avoid personal attacks on alliance partners. It warned that social media activists from the three parties would face action if they engage in abusive campaigns against coalition leaders or their families.
The Indian Opinion
The NDA's preemptive warning against fake social media accounts reflects a genuine anxiety about message discipline in a three-party coalition. But the claim that all provocation comes from YSRCP operatives is too convenient. Indian politics is full of overzealous supporters who need no encouragement to abuse rivals. The real test will come if the alliance actually acts against its own workers who cross the line, not just blames the opposition. Who will be the first high-profile social media activist they penalise?
