The TDP government’s launch of the ‘Shakti App’ has sparked controversy, with multiple social media users alleging that it is nothing more than a rebranded version of the ‘Disha App’ introduced during the YSRCP regime. The allegations have fueled online debates, with YCP supporters accusing TDP of merely renaming Jagan Mohan Reddy’s initiatives instead of introducing original programs.
‘Repackaging’ of JMR’s Initiatives?
The ‘Disha App’, launched by the previous YSRCP government, was designed to provide safety measures for women, enabling them to seek emergency help with a single tap. However, after coming to power, the TDP government has now introduced the ‘Shakti App’, claiming it as a new initiative. This move has led to criticism that Chandrababu Naidu’s administration is merely rebranding existing schemes rather than bringing innovative policies.
The ‘Disha App’, which was launched by the previous government to enhance women’s safety, had been operational for several years and received positive feedback from users. Many netizens pointed out that the reviews and ratings of the app from the last few years remain unchanged, proving that the so-called ‘Shakti App’ is nothing but a renamed version of ‘Disha App’.
Social Media Outrage & Trolls
YCP fans and social media users have mocked TDP’s approach, accusing them of lacking originality. Some users sarcastically remarked:
🔹 “From copying welfare schemes to renaming Jagan’s ideas, and yet they call themselves visionaries. What a joke!”
🔹 “At this rate, will they rename Rythu Bharosa as Chandranna Bharosa next?”
🔹 “First they opposed Jagan’s schemes, now they are rebranding them and claiming credit.”
Political Impact
While TDP supporters defend the Shakti App as an improved version of the earlier application, the opposition is using this as ammunition to question Naidu’s governance style. The larger debate now shifts to whether TDP is focused on real innovation or simply repackaging past programs.
With online criticism growing, it remains to be seen how the government responds to these allegations—whether by acknowledging past initiatives or by offering substantial improvements that differentiate its schemes from those of the previous administration.
