CM Revanth Team’s Reply to NTR – Too Casual?

It is a well-known fact that most politicians in India, including Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, rely on professional PR agencies to manage their social media platforms. However, the recent activity on Revanth Reddy’s official Twitter (X) handle has stirred controversy. On the occasion of his birthday, several politicians and celebrities extended wishes to him — among them was actor Junior NTR. While the replies to senior leaders like Narendra Modi and Chandrababu Naidu were formal and respectful, the reply to NTR stood out for being unusually casual. The tweet simply said “Thank You,” without the customary “Garu,” which did not sit well with NTR’s fans.

The incident has since created a buzz online, with fans expressing disappointment over the perceived lack of respect. Many believe that Revanth Reddy’s social media team should have been more thoughtful, given NTR’s prominence and the sensitivity of political-social relations in Telugu states. In today’s digital world, even small gestures like these can spark big debates. The issue serves as a reminder that political communication online must balance professionalism with cultural respect.
