TDP president and AP CM N Chandrababu Naidu seems to be relying more on 'gimmicks' to win upcoming AP Assembly polls than seeking votes based on the performance of his government during the past five years.
In the name of "Kia Car" launch on Tuesday (yesterday), Naidu staged a drama as if the Kia car plant in Anantapur had started manufacturing cars and first car from Anantapur plant came out.
The fact is the plant is yet to become operational. The required machinery for production of cars is being installed in Anantapur Kio car plant at present.
But Naidu created such a hype and buzz as if the plant started production and created thousands of jobs in AP.
Ten cars manufactured in Kia car plant in Korea were transported to Anantapur and were placed on the stage.
Naidu came on to the stage, took drivers seat in one of the cars and drove it. Naidu's PRO team ensured that 'yellow media' flashes news in top headlines saying that the Anantapur plant has started production and Naidu has undertaken trial run of the car produced in AP.
Kia Motors officials present there at the venue were surprised to see over enthusiasm of Naidu and other TDP leaders and later personally clarified to media personnel present there saying that it will take few more months for Anantapur plant to start production and the actual production is yet to begin.
Kia Motors officials, media personnel and other people present there laughed looking at Naidu's election stunts and discussed among themselves to what extent Naidu can go to cheat public to win elections.
