In today’s world of social media, people know a lot more than before. In the past, politicians could lie to the media and make people believe them. This still works sometimes, but not always, especially now with WhatsApp.
A good example is YSRCP’s Posani Krishna Murali and his very forceful and dramatic speeches.
The other day, he came in front of the media and tried to convince people that Nara Lokesh had filed a defamation case against him so that he would go to Mangalagiri and could be killed by Lokesh’s men.
Even for an ordinary person with a lower IQ, it’s easy to see how funny and outdated this accusation is. Moreover, whenever YSRCP’s Posani comes forward and speaks loudly, he repeats these statements frequently.
In this smartphone era, people won’t just laugh at these remarks; they will also cause irreparable damage to the party that frequently makes such statements. But, realization often comes too late. This is how politics works, as every politician believes that the stronger the allegation, the stronger their party will appear.
However, by the time they see the extent of the damage, it’s often too late. Times have changed; what worked in opposition may not work when the party is in power. This is a fundamental logic!
