TDP, BJP battle it out on the social media war field

The social media is fast emerging as a battlefield between the BJP and the Telugu Desam Party on the issue of the implementation of the assurances given at the time of the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh.

While the Centre and the State are slugging it out on the floor of Parliament, the social media warriors have taken the battle to the virtual world. With both the TDP and the BJP owning efficient social media machinery, they are fighting the information war. The TDP has marshalled its men and resources through TDP Twitter Trends and Telugu Desam Official on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp, while the BJP too is not lagging behind.

The BJP is posting memes and infographics that tell about what the Centre has given to the State Government and how the AP Government’s demands are unreasonable. With the salience of the social media growing by leaps and bounds, both the parties are doing everything they can to win the war of minds on the social media.
