The counting of votes polled for the Andhra Pradesh Assembly and Lok Sabha elections is underway. The TDP, Janasena, and BJP alliance is leading in a majority of the seats in the state. The TDP workers are already celebrating the leading status. Meanwhile, a video of Jaganmohan Reddy, addressing a public meeting, is going viral with the claim that realizing the win of the Telugu Desam Party, he is sloganeering Jai Chandrababu.
Fact check:
The claim is Misleading. The video is an old one, he was sloganeering ‘Jai Chandrababu’ satirically at a public meeting during the Praja Sankalpa Yatra in 2018.
When we searched the extracted keyframes using Google reverse image search, we found that the longer video was published by the YSR Congress YouTube Channel with the title ‘YS Jagan Says "Jai Chandrababu Jai Chandrababu" at a public meeting. This video was published on December 30, 2018.
According to English Tupaki.com, while giving a speech during the Praja Sankalpa Yatra in Palasa of Srikakulam district, he commented that 'Chandrababu Naidu made Yuva Nestham into Yuva Mosam. Do you know what he did with Rs 5 lakh for the housing scheme? Only the foundation will be laid and construction work will happen on a priority basis. Stickers will be attached even before the construction of houses so we should raise ‘Jai Chandrababu’ slogan. Farmers should jump with joy even before the implementation of the farm loan waiver. He even bluffed the Dwacra women. Yet, people have to say ‘Jai Chandrababu...Jai Chandrababu,'
Therefore, the viral video does not show Jaganmohan Reddy sloganeering ‘Jai Chandrababu’ hailing him. He was satirically commenting on Chandrababu Naidu during the Praja Sankalpa Yatra at Palasa in the Srikakulam district in December 2018. The claim is Misleading.
