Andhra Pradesh : Condom packs found with party names like YSRCP, TDP!

The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) and the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has recently engaged in a war of words. This started over some videos, that are showing condoms being distributed with party names and party symbols printed on the packets! Condoms are used for contraception and to prevent sexually transmitted infections. It’s good to spread awareness about this medical device but is this a correct way? Is this even appropriate?

Condoms are being used as a campaign tool? Is this event commendable or despicable?

Condoms have become a campaign tool for political parties in the state ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Several videos are circulating on social media, which shows packets of condoms that are bearing the symbols of the ruling YSR Congress Party and the main opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP).

త‌మ పార్టీ ప్ర‌చారం కోసం చివ‌రికి ప్ర‌జ‌ల‌కు కండోమ్‌లు కూడా పంపిణీ చేస్తోంది @JaiTDP. ఇదెక్క‌డి ప్ర‌చార పిచ్చి? నెక్ట్స్ వ‌యాగ్రాలు కూడా పంచుతారేమో? క‌నీసం అక్క‌డితోనైనా ఆగుతారా? లేక‌పోతే మున్ముందు ఇంకా దిగ‌జారుతారా @ncbn @naralokesh @PawanKalyan? #EndofTDP https://t.co/hnflIp8F8I
