It's election time and perception building is the name of the game. Every politician wants to create a positive image of himself and reach out to the maximum number of voters. So, TV and OTT chat shows have become efficient platforms for such image building. What used to be an exclusive preserve of the film stars has now become a hunting ground even for politicians.
Remember Modi did it by giving interviews to various TV channels, including the TV 9 in 2014. He went on to win the elections with a thumping majority. He did the same in 2019 by giving an interview to ANI. That became a huge hit in the wake of Pulwama incident. Now, Chandrababu Naidu has already appeared on Balayya Babu's OTT chat show Unstoppable. This interview showed the lighter and softer side of Chandrababu and has helped rebuild his image. Now, if sources are to be believed, TRS working president KTR too could join the Aha chat show of Balayya Babu. This being an election year for Telangana, the interview would be helpful in building KTR's image in a significant way.
KCR is not new to such strategies. In fact, ahead of the 2018 elections, he gave an interview to popular anchor Suma, where he tried to show his softer side. This was aimed at attracting women and young voters. Unconfirmed sources say that KTR is yet to give his dates for the show. But, this show could happen sooner than later.
