The interviews of Chandrababu and Jagan Mohan Reddy aired simultaneously last night, reveal Chief Minister YS Jagan's popularity.
Rajinikanth interviewed Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on TV9, while Vemuri Radhakrishna interviewed former Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu on his pro-TDP channel ABN. Both interviews commenced at 8 p.m.
Jagan's interview on TV9 was viewed live by 70 thousand people in LIVE, whereas only 20 thousand tuned in for Chandrababu Naidu's interview. This stark contrast underscores Chandrababu's diminishing relevance compared to that of Jagan Mohan Reddy.
The level of craze for YS Jagan can be gauged by the significant number of viewers for last night's interview.
Without the yellow media hype that Chandrababu relies on, there's little interest in him.
Notably, a large number of netizens have shown interest in Jagan's perspectives. While Jagan's popularity surges, Chandrababu Naidu's influence wanes as the election day neared.
People are dissatisfied with Chandrababu's tendency to opportunistic talk, which has led to a lack of interest in his statements.
Conversely, Jagan is seen as a model of reliability, hence his increasing popularity.
The disparity was evident in last night's TV9 interview. Chandrababu is viewed as a raw opportunist who says anything to serve his own agenda, and this impatience with his lack of substance was reflected in the viewership numbers of his interview.
