Without taking names but dropping enough hints at whom he meant, Congress MLA from Sangareddy T. Jayaprakash (Jagga) Reddy alleged that some political forces had been running a vicious campaign to malign him personally and his political career.
Talking to mediapersons at his residence here on Saturday, Mr. Jagga Reddy said a section of the social media was willfully targeting him at the behest of some political forces working against him. He pointed out that he was being targeted for about one and a half years by those having expertise in (mis)using social media.
Mr. Jagga Reddy stated that the culture of using social media was that of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and it had creeped into the Congress culture now. Although leaders from several parties, including TDP, had joined Congress, they were very much Congress men now. However, the culture of using social media to target political rivals within and outside the party was unwelcome, he said.
