In recent times, some political leaders have become excessively focused on propaganda, making outrageous statements solely to gain media attention and approval from their superiors.
This trend is evident among various leaders, including TDP's Buddha Venkanna.
Venkanna recently gained notoriety by demanding that Nara Lokesh be made the TDP state president, which earned him favor with Lokesh and appearances on pro-TDP talk shows. He also made sensational comments on exit polls.
The Aaraa Mastan survey predicted a YCP victory, and Venkanna criticized it vehemently. In a dramatic move, he vowed to cut off his tongue if the prediction was accurate.
He challenged Mastan to do the same if the prediction was wrong and demanded that Mastan apologize to the people of Andhra Pradesh if the TDP-led coalition came to power.
However, Venkanna only targeted Aaraa Mastan, ignoring other surveys with similar results. This selective targeting has led netizens to demand clarity on whether he will keep his word.
They are also reminding him of Bandla Ganesh's similar statement in the past, where Ganesh promised to cut his tongue with a 7 o'clock blade if his predictions were wrong.
This has led to a wave of public ridicule and demands for accountability.
