Real Tape Or Publicity Stunt?
X
Suddenly, there is an audio tape circulating on the social media. In the audio, Telangana CM KCR is heard talking to an ordinary farmer from a village called Mandalapalli. In the audio, the CM is heard telling the farmer that his problem of ownership of 40 acres would soon be resolved using the land record regularisation scheme of the TRS government.

A trick works once, But the second time, it could be found out. During the assembly elections, the TRS circulated a similar audio of a purported conversation between two supposed Kammas of Kukatpalli. This audio was meant to lure non-kamma setters to the TRS and to defeat Suhasini, daughter of Nandamuri Harikrishna in Kukatpalli. Before the people could realise, the audio helped the TRS and ensured the TDP defeat. Later, it turned out that it was an election strategy.

This conversation of KCR with the farmer too appears to be an election stunt. The farmer is said to be owning 40 acres. A farmer with such huge landholding is shown as an illiterate and poor man. Instead of addressing the farmers, KCR is seen patiently explaining about his government's schemes. One knows the impatience of KCR. But in the audio, KCR sound patience personified. But, will such audios work this time?
