WHY BJP KEPT MUM ...?
The controversy surrounding social media influencer Prashna Ravana has intensified political debate in Andhra Pradesh, with discussions now focusing on the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) silence over the issue. Political observers have questioned why state BJP leaders have largely refrained from commenting, even as the row dominates social media and has triggered sharp exchanges between the ruling alliance and the opposition.
The debate follows allegations by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu that the YSR Congress Party is backing online campaigns targeting his government and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan. Some analysts suggest the BJP may be allowing Pawan Kalyan to take the lead on issues related to Hindutva, while others believe the party is maintaining strategic political flexibility in the state.
Commentators have also drawn comparisons with the BJP's relatively restrained response during the Tirumala Laddu controversy. However, these remain political interpretations, and the BJP has not officially explained its position on the current issue.
As the controversy continues, attention remains on whether the BJP will issue a formal statement and how the evolving political narrative could influence Andhra Pradesh's political landscape.
