On top of the obvious alcohol and biryanis, we have witnessed the distribution of wall clocks, sarees, shirts, electrical products, and other items before elections. However, political contenders never stop making
people laugh with the articles they publish before of votes and never stop coming up with creative ideas. No, we're not talking about giving voters live goats or chickens. That is an outdated fashion!
Political campaigns have accelerated in the State as
elections for the
lok sabha and the
andhra pradesh Assembly draw near. Based on
social media posts, it has been alleged that the two major parties in the State have given out "condoms" with their
party logos on the boxes. Indeed, condoms!
In a video shared by YSRCP on X (formerly Twitter), two
party cadre can be heard discussing about a box of condoms bearing TDP’s logo. Dubbing it as “publicity madness,” the
party urged
tdp to stop with this and wondered if the Opposition
party would resort to distributing Viagra next.
“Finally distributing condoms to
people for their
party campaign @JaiTDP . Where is the publicity madness? Will Next Share Viagras? At least stop there? Otherwise will further decline @nbcn @naralokesh @PawanKalyan? #EndofTDP (sic.),” posted YSRCP from their official handle.
In a similar video, however,
tdp questioned the
election “preparedness” of the YSRCP even as a man can be seen standing with a box of condoms with Jagan-led party’s logo on it.
Incidentally, YSRCP’s poll slogan for this
elections is “Siddam” translating to “ready/prepared” in English.
