In Andhra Pradesh's politically charged atmosphere, actors-turned-politicians madhavi latha and pawan kalyan have recently faced significant trolling on social media, where netizens have labeled them "political clowns." This sentiment stems from their controversial and inconsistent stances on Hindu politics in the state. Both have attempted to position themselves as defenders of Hindu values, aligning with the rhetoric often associated with the bharatiya janata party (BJP) and similar Hindu right-wing ideologies.

Madhavi Latha, known for her vocal support of Hinduism, often shares opinions on social and political matters, which have sometimes backfired, making her the target of online mockery. Pawan Kalyan, the leader of the Jana Sena Party, has also aligned himself with Hindu causes, particularly during key political moments. His fluctuating political alliances, particularly his support for the bjp and his ambiguous stand on certain religious issues, have added to the perception of him as an opportunist. This inconsistency, coupled with a perception of superficial engagement with serious political matters, has led to both being trolled as "political clowns."
The criticisms from netizens suggest a growing frustration with celebrities who enter politics without clear, consistent ideologies, focusing more on optics than meaningful change.
