We must accept that youth in Andhra Pradesh voted for the YSRCP in the 2019 elections. They participated in the campaign through social media. After coming to power, youths were given jobs as volunteers. They, too, have issues with the government because they want a raise in pay and to have their jobs made permanent.
It has been more than four years since the party came to power, and a few party activists have also taken to social media to express their displeasure with the ruling party. However, an activist was severely beaten by cops as a result of this.
According to media reports, one Babu Reddy is a YSRCP social media activist. He allegedly posted a scathing remark about Sullurpet MLA Sanjeevaiah. This did not sit well with the ruling party’s MLA, who was trashed by the cops. The viral photos show the extent of his abuse.
Though the news did not make it into mainstream media, a pro-YSRCP media outlet covered it, and we have to agree that the person was beaten up.
The YSRCP’s main strength has been its social media activists, and if the party can’t even save them, what message does the party want to send? If the other activists believe they are in danger and there is no protection, the YSRCP will have a major problem.
Kiliveti Sanjeevaiah is an MLA, not a Cabinet Minister. Many people are perplexed as to how an MLA can do that and demonstrate his brutality in response to a post made by an activist against him. The main feature of democracy is questioning.
