Many on social media are trolling Revanth Reddy over his recent New Year gesture.
The criticism stems from his visit to the residence of media baron Radha Krishna, where he personally wished him for the New Year. The moment quickly became fodder for online debate and sharp commentary.
Traditionally, critics argue, such courtesies flow the other way around, given the constitutional and symbolic weight of the Chief Minister’s office.
By visiting a media personality at his home with a bouquet, many feel Revanth Reddy inverted that protocol.
Trolls claim the act diluted the stature of the CM’s chair and blurred the line between political authority and media influence.
Meeting a media figure due to health concerns or personal reasons is seen as acceptable. What triggered backlash was the optics of a celebratory New Year visit.
The larger argument insists that the CM’s post carries institutional value, and that value, many believe, must be consciously upheld as long as one remains in power.
