Amaravati: The official Twitter account of the Telugu Desam Party, @JaiTDP, was hacked on Saturday.

The bio read “Visual artist working with algorithms, plotters, and paint. Sometimes I write about art on my site. Creator of Fidenza, co-creator of QQL’.
TDP sources have alleged the hand of YSR Congress Party supporters in the hacking and have lodged a complaint with the police regarding this. Efforts were on to restore the account, they said.
In an earlier instance when the TDP Twitter account was hacked, it was restored after a few hours with some effort, it is learned.
