Hyderabad: KCR seems to be made self-goal with his rude remarks made against media.
Although, they are specifically addressed to the two leading Telugu news channels that are facing ban since last three months in Telangana, his remarks were taken generally by entire media in the state and in the country. National media also strongly condemns his remarks.
Opposition parties in Telangana grab this opportunity to dig at CM KCR for his monarch attitude. They took it as a weapon to fight out TRS party in the Medak Loksabha by-elections.
There are two separate issues involved in this whole controversy. 1. Can the state government play spectator role, when the MSO takes law into their hands and ban the media? 2. Is CM KCR’s rude comments against media can be justified?
Whether or not Telangana government answers these two questions, obviously all these developments are creating some pressure on it that may oblige it to revoke its decision.
Hyderabad: Telangana CM KCR finally spoke about the undeclared ban on the two leading Telugu News Channels today. He said “I salute the MSOs, who take this decision. After all, why should we let anyone insult our people and their representatives? If they have no respect for us and our culture, then there is no place for such people on our soil.
They have taken the matter to Delhi level to pressurize my government, but it helps only to complicate the matter further. However, it is pending with Speaker and he has to take a decision on how to deal with them. Even all Telangana MLAs also have strongly condemned the channels attitude towards them. So, my government can do nothing in this regard.”
So, CM KCR has served the ball back into the news channels court. Union Minister Prakash Jawadekar has warned the Telangana MSOs that government will cancel their licenses if they do not revive telecasting of those two news channels within one week, but they replied him that rather prefer to go for a legal fight than succumbing to his pressures. Hence, both those news channels have to find a way out from this problem.
Hyderabad: Revanth Reddy known for his sharp and stinging straight forward remarks has a field against KCR. He asked if the CM is wreaking a personal vengeance against media to safe zone his own media business in Telangana and also as to why the CM is adamant over banning the ABN and TV9 in Telangana. Revanth said that no other state never dared to indulge in such an action.
It's a black day because women journos were ill treated by T government when they protested against govt demanding restoration of ABN and TV9 telecast in the state, Revanth Reddy lashed out at the CM and even brought a funny idiom as an analogy. He said, "When stars are fortunate, even an earthworm hisses.”
Revanth said to protect interests of T-news and ‘Namaste Telangana’ the Chief Minister is resorting to banning of ABN and TV9 in the state.
Revanth questioned why wouldn’t the CM hold a meeting with the MSOs if he is not behind the entire drama. The loud mouthed TDP leader signed off saying, “Telangana is the 29th state of India and not another country, maybe KCR is thinking he is owner of a state and treating it as his own empire, but people have elected him to be just the watchman for the state.”
