The NDA’s latest social media post mocked Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jaganmohan Reddy by comparing his ‘Erra Bus’ initiative to the global aircraft manufacturer Airbus, sparking backlash across the internet.
A recent post by an account linked to the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) circulated on X (formerly Twitter) mocked Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jaganmohan Reddy’s ‘Erra Bus’ initiative by juxtaposing it with the aircraft manufacturer Airbus. The meme, which combined an image of a red bus with that of an Airbus aircraft, was shared widely and drew criticism for its political undertone.
The post was interpreted by many as a satirical jab at Reddy’s transport policies, suggesting a leap from a local bus project to a global aviation giant. While the NDA’s spokesperson described the content as a light‑hearted joke, the backlash highlighted concerns over political trolling on social media.
Followers of the CM’s office expressed disappointment, noting that the meme seemed to trivialize a public service initiative. The incident underscores the growing trend of political satire being used as a tool for partisan messaging on digital platforms.
