The never ending media war that the state is witnessing seems to have the best plot set in for a tollywood thriller. The war between Eenadu and Sakshi group is the hot topic for gossip across the state. But the interesting fact is both have exposed each other evenly and it is the sole discretion of the reader to decide who is what? And even if you do so what difference does it make. Based on the inputs from the internet and print media, we have brought forth certain points for reader enrichment. As the state wakes up to the morning newspaper, the main page is dedicated to the exposure of the contemporary.
Now let us analyze the exposure of Sakshi by Eenadu, last week it was about the investments of Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy. The report suggested that 16 companies funded the Jagan’s group. Another interesting feature expressed in the report was that all the companies had a common director. Quite interesting!! The report also suggests that these could be the kick backs received during the rule of the late Dr Y S Rajasekhar Reddy, as Chief Minister of the state.
A week earlier a report was on the main page suggesting the mining links of Brother M Anil Kumar, an evangelist and son-in-law of late Dr Y S Rajasekhar Reddy, in Bayyaram mines. The report also provided detailed analysis with pictorial evidences to prove Brother Anil’s links to the Rakshana Steels and the Bayyaram mines.
Well now let us analyze how Sakshi has exposed the former, in its TV channel and in print. There was an open debate on how a man (Ramoji Rao), who sold pickles on a cycle three decades ago was able to become the richest in the state. Next the print aided the attack, about the investments of Reliance in Eenadu group, which were till day not represented to the Reliance share holders or even spoken off at the Annual General Meetings. The issue had come forth after a subsidiary of Reliance Industries Limited, had struck a multi-tiered deal that can eventually give it a major equity stake in the Network18 Group, which operates a host of television channels and new media businesses. Declaring the fact, RIL had a huge stake in ETV.
Both the media barons have been outrageous in their outbursts against each other. They have given enough evidence about the discrepancies that have taken place. It is now left to the general public to vote for Mr. Perfect. Post your comments about what you feel, we are open. (With inputs from internet- AarKay)
