YS Jagan on the Arrests of Social Media Warriors
YS Jagan’s main grievance centered around what he described as a targeted crackdown on YSRCP’s social media supporters, many of whom had been allegedly detained by the authorities. According to Jagan, these arrests signify an attempt to intimidate and suppress his party’s voice online. He argued that these social media “warriors” were only exercising their democratic rights by expressing their opinions and supporting YSRCP’s message. Jagan asserted that the NDA government’s and Chandrababu’s efforts to silence dissent represented a fundamental violation of freedom of speech.
“Chandrababu is trying to terrorize the YCP ecosystem by arresting our social media warriors,” Jagan claimed, asserting that this action was designed to disrupt YSRCP’s online influence. He condemned the arrests as undemocratic and unwarranted, suggesting that these measures targeted his supporters solely because they were vocal in their criticism of the ruling government.

The ‘420 Chandrababu’ Campaign
In one of the most striking moments of the press meet, Jagan urged all his supporters to start an online campaign against Chandrababu, calling him “420 Chandrababu” for his failure to deliver on six key promises he made to the people of Andhra Pradesh. Jagan highlighted these “super six” promises as the main foundation on which Chandrababu campaigned but claimed that none had been fulfilled. He went as far as to suggest that Chandrababu’s unfulfilled promises were a form of public deceit, warranting a “420” criminal case for cheating.
“From today onwards, I am urging everyone to tweet and post about ‘420 Chandrababu’ for going back on his super six promises,” Jagan announced. He called upon YSRCP’s social media followers to take up this campaign and to spread awareness about the Chief Minister’s alleged failings. According to Jagan, this movement would help shed light on what he described as Chandrababu’s consistent neglect of the people’s welfare and betrayal of public trust. YS Jagan Press Meet.
A Challenge to Chandrababu: “Come and Arrest Me First”
In an open challenge to the Chief Minister, Jagan declared that he would personally participate in the social media campaign against Chandrababu and dared the Chief Minister to arrest him. This public provocation underscored Jagan’s frustration with the arrests of his supporters and his determination to stand against what he saw as oppression by the ruling government.

“Every YCP social media user must start posting against Chandrababu now. I will do it myself. Let us see how many people he can arrest. If so, I am ready to get arrested first,” Jagan boldly stated. His remarks emphasized his willingness to lead the movement and to face any potential repercussions alongside his supporters.
This defiant statement from Jagan was meant to send a strong message to Chandrababu: that attempts to suppress YSRCP’s voice would only strengthen their resolve. With his public willingness to be the first to face arrest, Jagan aimed to inspire his followers and signal his commitment to their cause.
NDA Government’s Role in Social Media Crackdown
While Jagan’s primary criticism was directed at Chandrababu, he also took aim at the NDA government, accusing it of enabling and even encouraging censorship on social media. Jagan’s comments reflect the YSRCP’s broader frustration with what they perceive as a federal attempt to curb political freedom and silence opposition voices on online platforms. As the government moves to address hate speech and abusive content on social media, Jagan asserted that these measures have been misused to target his supporters, rather than focusing on actual hate speech issues.

This move to control online speech, he argued, was politically motivated, with the government using it as a pretense to quash dissenting voices. Jagan argued that the NDA government’s efforts to control the online narrative have instead amplified feelings of suppression among the public, especially those who wish to critique the current administration’s policies and actions.

The Path Forward for YSRCP and Andhra Pradesh
Jagan’s press meet, marked by sharp criticisms and an open challenge, signals a new chapter of confrontation between YSRCP and the ruling government. As the state gears up for upcoming elections, Jagan’s focus on Chandrababu’s unfulfilled promises and his call for a mass social media movement reveal his intent to harness the power of public opinion in his favor. By emphasizing transparency, accountability, and freedom of speech, Jagan aims to rally public support around these issues and build momentum for YSRCP’s cause.
