Helicopter Trouble For YSRCP's Fan
By: Tupaki Desk | 6 March 2019 4:09 AM GMT
Remember there were election symbols like tractor and truck in the last assembly elections in Telangana and how they affected the fortunes of the TRS candidates in several constituencies? Immediately after analysing the election results, Machiavellian KCR identified that in most constituencies, the independents with symbols like tractor and truck got considerable number of votes. In at least three constituencies, these symbols have ensured the defeat of the TRS. The reason? These symbols are very similar to the car symbol of the TRS and elderly and the illiterate rural masses got confused with the symbols and ended up voting for tractor instead of car.
Is something of that sort going to happen in Andhra Pradesh assembly elections too? It appears so. Maverick KA Paul's Praja Santhi Party has been given the helicopter symbol for this election. The party's symbol could easily be confused with the fan symbol of the YSRCP. Everyone knows where KA Paul's sympathies lie. He has been benefited during the TDP rule and his problems started only after YSR came to power. So, he would very much like to take vengeance on the YSRCP by taking away Christian votes from the YSRCP. To confuse the voters, he would use helicopter symbol.
Is the YSRCP listening? Should it also not approach the EC with a demand that symbols similar to its symbol 'fan' should not be allotted to any party?
