Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu considers himself the most hi-tech leader.
His party is also very active on social media and whatever Naidu does, it is immediately reflected in social media network sites like Facebook and Twitter.
After the latest announcement made by the Centre that there is no question of granting special category status to Andhra Pradesh, the TDP cadre went hammer and tongs against the BJP and NDA ministers for backtracking on the special status promise.
Particularly, union minister Jayant Sinha, who had given written statement that special status to AP was not possible, was flooded with comments from the TDP cadre attacking him. The poor minister lamented for being attacked unnecessarily, since he had only reflected the NDA government’s policy.
Now, the BJP cadre also launched counter-attack on the TDP in the same social media, accusing Naidu of instigating his people against the Centre.
Some of the posts are so nasty, alleging that Naidu had wasted Rs 4,000 crore of public money for his personal publicity.
They pointed out how Naidu had wasted money on his camp office and temporary residence in Vijayawada, private bus, repairs to his camp office and Secretariat chamber in Hyderabad, going on foreign tours on chartered flights, frequent shuttling between Hyderabad and Vijayawada in private choppers, bhoomi pooja for Amaravati etc., besides indulging in various corrupt deeds.
So, tit-for-tat!
