Most of the media houses nowadays are openly supporting political parties. In Telugu states, even a school kid can say which media house supports or owned by which political party. Now there is a debate that Andhra Jyothy paper, who gave a shocker to KCR before elections is at receiving end.
Details as below:
Andhra Jyothy paper and TV channel, as every one knows, openly supports TDP and its supremo Chandra babu naidu. However, after TDP losing its ground, it became staunch supporter of TRS party between 2015-2018. All these years, Andhra Jyothy supported TRS and the benefit of supporting ruling party is, as eveyone knows, getting full-page and ads and other ads from the government. However, Andhra Jyothy gave a shocker to KCR and TRS, by suddenly changing its stand and completely supporting Praja kootami led by Congress and TDP. Andhra Jyothy went overboard and it over-hyped Praja kootami. At a point of time, it ran stories predicting TRS’s defeat. There is nothing wrong in writing such stories, if they are really genuine. But the media house that supported TRS all these 4 years and ran highly positive stories that time, suddenly changing the tune surprised people and irked TRS leadership.
There have been reports that TRS may cut down the ads given to Andhra Jyothi in future. KTR, reportedly expressed his displeasure over the way Andhra Jyothi behaved during election. TRS followers gave ads to newspapers today and surprisingly many other newspapers got the ads but not Andhra Jyothi. Many people are debating whether this move by TRS followers is any indication of TRS stand on this paper in future. Only time will answer to that question.
