In a recent incident where Jagan faced a stone attack in Vijayawada, TDP’s response has stirred intrigue, especially given past occurrences. Recall when Jagan, then an opposition leader, was targeted at Vizag airport during CBN’s tenure, YSRCP leveraged it for sympathy in the 2019 elections.
Back then, TDP found itself on the back foot. But now, the tables have turned. TDP is launching a counter-offensive against YSRCP over the Vijayawada incident, branding it as ‘Kodi Kathhi 2.0.’ However, Jagan dismisses it as a campaign stunt due to a tepid election response, dubbing it ‘Kodikatti drama 2.0 version.’
Telugu Desam State President Atchannaidu alleges the incident was orchestrated under DGP and Intelligence IG’s direction as part of YSRCP’s strategy. TDP flags security lapses, like the use of bulletproof sheets without power and police failing to disperse the post-attack crowd.
This time, TDP swiftly exposes the incident, attributing it to the lackluster response to Jagan’s bus tour. The rapid-fire reactions from both sides highlight the intense political chess game in Andhra Pradesh.
