Lokesh Mocks Jagan’s WhatsApp Governance Claim

Share


In a humorous yet pointed response to the political debate surrounding WhatsApp Governance in Andhra Pradesh, IT Minister Nara Lokesh took a dig at the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) over their claims. The opposition has been actively asserting that it was Jagan Mohan Reddy, during his tenure as Chief Minister, who first introduced WhatsApp as a governance tool. However, despite a lack of concrete evidence, YSRCP supporters have been aggressively promoting this narrative on social media.

Countering these claims, Lokesh cleverly exposed a contradiction by recalling Jagan’s own past statement in a TV9 interview, where he admitted to avoiding mobile phones altogether. “Jagan himself said he doesn’t use a mobile phone. How can a man without a phone introduce WhatsApp governance? This isn’t my claim—he said it himself on TV9!” Lokesh remarked, challenging the credibility of YSRCP’s assertions.

The WhatsApp Governance model, a flagship initiative of the NDA government in Andhra Pradesh, is designed to revolutionize public service delivery. The program offers access to 161 government services through WhatsApp, marking a major step toward digital governance. However, its implementation has become a political flashpoint, with both parties vying for credit.

Adding to his criticism, Lokesh also accused Jagan of being disconnected from the state’s affairs, alleging that he spends more time in Bengaluru than in Andhra Pradesh. This remark further intensified the political rivalry, portraying Jagan as detached from governance.

Ultimately, the dispute over WhatsApp Governance highlights the complex dynamics of political claims and counterclaims. Lokesh’s sharp rebuttal not only dismantled the opposition’s narrative but also emphasized the importance of factual accuracy in political discourse.
