Online Propaganda In Kerala, Fearful Candidates Silent

Online propaganda in Kerala, fearful candidates silent, aggressive media campaigns on internet media.

There have been reports of aggressive online propaganda against many candidates in the Kerala assembly elections on the internet media.

It is believed that the differences between the workers of political parties in the selection of candidates in the election are a big reason for this.

Apart from the many already existing fake profiles, this campaign of propaganda against the candidates is being carried forward by creating some new profiles on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Police escaping action.

The special thing is that some profiles match the profiles of members of some political parties in the state, but the police have not yet taken any specific action in this matter.

The candidates are also refraining from making a written complaint to the police in this case so that the attack on the internet media against them does not intensify.

Candidates fighting against CM are also victims.

The candidates contesting this online propaganda are also contesting against Kerala Chief Minister P. Vijayan.

Although the fake profiles that propagate against them look like CPI (M) party workers, no specific efforts have yet been made to trace those who created these profiles.

According to the information, through these fake profiles, this woman candidate is being pressurized to withdraw the nomination against the Chief Minister.

Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp messages included.

Similarly, a similar propaganda campaign has been launched against the Revolutionary Marxist Party of India candidate Reema on the internet media.

Although Reema has not yet complained to the police, her party is considering taking a legal route on this issue. WhatsApp messages are also being used in this campaign.

Fear of aggressive propaganda.

A member of a candidate’s campaign team says that most of the candidates are calm due to fear of more aggressive propaganda and the police are not taking even strict action.

One reason for this is that there is still no written complaint from any candidate to the police.

Puducherry.

NDA’s Banratlay BJP, AINRC, and AIADMK are on the fray in Puducherry. At the same time, Congress, DMK, Left parties, VCK, and some other parties are trying their luck under Secular Democratic Alliance.
