YS Jagan has yet to announce the candidates contesting in the upcoming elections. Although the in-charges have been designated, it is widely assumed that they will automatically become the candidates. Consequently, those who were not selected sought refuge in other parties.
Subsequently, we witnessed the exuberant celebration by the yellow media. Newspapers and digital media platforms extensively covered this news.
Now, the spotlight shifts to TDP-Janasena. Dissatisfaction is palpable within both parties, with discontent brewing among various factions.
In the five locations where Janasena received tickets, discontent is evident within the Telugu Desam Party (TDP). Conversely, in areas where Janasena was overlooked, its own supporters expressed disappointment.
Despite this, the leaders of both TDP and Janasena are vocal about the strength of their alliance. The yellow media is also eager to paint a rosy picture, downplaying any signs of discord.
However, the era of social media has changed the dynamics. Some yellow media channels and their social media platforms have essentially become mouthpieces for political parties.
Both Janasena and TDP channels and handles are actively advocating for the ousting of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy through this purported historic alliance.
Yet, these yellow media channels struggle to penetrate platforms like Facebook and WhatsApp, where genuine sentiments are shared.
If they were to read the comments under their own tweets, they would be confronted with a stark reality: their credibility is waning, and their lies are no longer believed by the masses.
While TDP and Janasena supporters may find solace in their narrative, neutral voters remain unconvinced.
