Tadepalli, June 08: YSRCP unequivocally condemns the baseless allegations and malicious campaign orchestrated by the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), its social media operatives, and affiliated yellow media against YSRCP and its leadership.
YSRCP leader Pothina Mahesh, addressing the press today, clarified that the remarks made by journalist Krishnaraju have no association with the party. “TDP is deliberately attempting to tarnish YSRCP’s image by amplifying these comments to divert attention from the overwhelming public response to our recent protest against the TDP’s betrayal tactics,” Mahesh asserted.
YSRCP denounces the TDP’s systematic misuse of social media to defame opponents and engage in character assassination. “The TDP’s social media operatives, backed by salaries from Nara Lokesh himself, have unleashed a vicious campaign targeting women, including YSRCP supporters, with derogatory and inhumane attacks,” Mahesh stated. He questioned the inaction against TDP leaders like Ayyannapatrudu, Home Minister Anita, Kirak RP, Seema Raja, and Chebrolu Kiran, who have made egregious remarks against Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s family and even religious figures like Lord Venkateswara.
“Why have no legal measures been taken against these individuals?” he demanded.
The party also highlighted the TDP’s failure to address atrocities against women across Andhra Pradesh. Mahesh cited incidents such as the alleged assault on a minor girl by 14 TDP workers in Satya Sai district, the installation of CCTV cameras in a college bathroom in Gudlavalleru, and an assault on a woman in Pithapuram, questioning the government’s inaction. “The TDP’s governance has emboldened such heinous acts, while they distract the public with false propaganda against YSRCP,” he said. Additionally, he criticized Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu for exploiting farmers in the capital region by seizing thousands of acres of land for private entities, urging women in the region to rise against this injustice.
YSRCP reaffirms its commitment to respecting women and upholding dignity in public discourse. Mahesh noted that Sakshi TV’s management has already condemned Krishnaraju’s remarks, underscoring the party’s and its affiliates’ respect for women. “When TDP leaders made vile accusations against Jagan’s family, where was the yellow media’s outrage? Their double standards are evident,” he remarked.
The YSRCP calls for immediate action against TDP’s social media operatives and leaders responsible for spreading misinformation and inciting hatred. “We will not tolerate baseless attacks on our party or its leadership. The people of Andhra Pradesh are watching, and they will hold the TDP accountable for its divisive tactics,” Mahesh concluded, urging the government to address the rising atrocities against women and halt the TDP’s propaganda machinery.
