Hyderabad: A new social media trend asking “Which political party do you support?” has gone viral across India, with users actively participating through short videos and reels. The trend, often set to the popular “Rasputin” audio, has become a digital way for people—especially youth—to express their political preferences.
How the Trend Works
The format is simple but engaging. Users create reels where the question appears on screen, followed by a reveal of their political choice. Many videos feature party flags, colors, slogans, or leader images, while others use creative edits and transitions to showcase their stance.
The trend has quickly spread across platforms like Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, drawing millions of views and interactions.
Strong Presence of BRS in Telangana
In Telangana, a noticeable pattern has emerged, with a large number of users expressing support for the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS). Among political leaders, K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) appears to be the most prominently featured figure, especially among females in these videos.
Many reels highlight KTR’s leadership, governance initiatives, and public image, with creators using visuals, speeches, and campaign clips as part of their content.
