Former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, faced the media for the first time in a prominent manner since losing power. However, the event did not unfold as expected for Jagan, as a viral clip from his speech has sparked widespread attention.
In the video, Jagan staunchly defends Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy, leading to confusion even among supporters of his own party, YCP. Jagan's statement defending Ramakrishna Reddy's actions regarding EVM vandalism has raised eyebrows.
Jagan remarked, "Yes, there was an incident of EVM vandalism during the election. One needs to question why an MLA would resort to damaging an EVM if he believed the polling was in his favor? Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy has been unjustly jailed under fabricated charges."
The video clip has garnered significant traction online, becoming a focal point of discussion and criticism across various platforms.
The former CM's defense of an MLA caught tampering with an EVM has sparked widespread bewilderment and criticism. Supporters of the TDP+ alliance are particularly vocal in ridiculing Jagan for his stance, given that tampering with EVMs is a serious electoral offense. This incident has swiftly become the focal point of online mockery and has emerged as Jagan's most ridiculed moment of the day.
