It has become a trend for politicians to start media ventures, be it newspapers or television channels.
The latest to join the media bandwagon is the Congress legislator from Medak district Toorpu Jayaprakash Reddy who is a staunch critic of Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) President K Chandrasekhar Rao.
Expectedly, his proposed Telugu newspaper and a TV channel will be competitors to the TRS leader’s media ventures- T-News channel and “Namaste Telangana” daily.
Jayaprakash, who represents Sangareddy constituency, asserted that his media organizations would reflect the genuine voice of the Telangana people. The daily and the channel are tentatively titled “Jai Telangana Jai”.
Jayaprakash made a scathing attack on KCR for using the media organizations as weapons to extort money.
“KCR and his family members have been exploiting the Telangana sentiment to further own self interests and made huge money. He has now entered into the media field with the same intention,” the Congress legislator said.
The YSR Congress Party President Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy owns “Sakshi” daily and TV channel while the Telugu Desam Party Chief N Chandrababu Naidu’s son Nara Lokesh runs “Studio-N” channel.
