Fact Check:

The claim is False. Chandrababu Naidu did not write any such letter to the Kamma community.

Telugu Desam Party shared a post stating the letter is fake with the caption ‘జగన్ కి ఓటమి భయం ఏ స్థాయిలో ఉందో ఈ ఫేక్ లెటర్ చెబుతోంది. కుల అహంకారంతో విర్రవీగే జగన్ రెడ్డి... రాజకీయ ప్రయోజనాల కోసం అదే కులాలను రెచ్చగొడతాడు.
ప్రజలారా! ఈ ఫేక్ గాళ్ళ మాటలను, చేతలను నమ్మకండి.’

When translated, it states ‘This fake letter shows how much Jagan is worried about his party’s defeat. Jagan Reddy, who takes pride in his caste…. is stoking caste politics for his vested interests. People! Don't trust the words and actions of these fake guys.’

According to news reports published in Telugu, the Telugu Desam Party leaders demanded the cyber police to take action on those behind the circulation of the fake letter. TDP representative Prof. Tirunagari Jyotsna met Hyderabad Cybercrime DCP Kavitha and filed a complaint. The letter in circulation in the name of the TDP chief is not genuine, it is fake.

Hence, the letter in circulation in the name of Chandrababu Naidu urging people to support Congress in the upcoming Telangana assembly elections in November 2023 is fake. The claim is False.
