Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao created a record of sorts by proving that he can bulldoze anyone, even journalists attending his press meets in Pragathi Bhavan, even after telling ‘open lies’.
KCR, who rarely hold press meets, was forced to hold press meets twice in Telangana Bhavan within a gap of 10 days, thanks to ongoing TSRTC strike.
KCR’s press meets are going on in a ‘planned’ manner.
The plan is that no one should ask any question which angers KCR.
If anyone asks questions which KCR feels embarrassed or uncomfortable, he immediately shot backs at them terming them as ‘irresponsible journalist’.
In a press meet held after Huzurnagar bypoll victory on October 24, KCR himself said, “TSRTC is a gone case. It has become a NPA as it failed to repay loan intalments. No one on this earth can save RTC now.
But in the press meet held yesterday, KCR said there is no threat to RTC and government will take all the steps to protect it.
When a reporter reminded him of earlier statement, KCR got angry, “I never said RTC is a gone case. I never said RTC will become a NPA. How you can attribute this to me? You are a irresponsible journalist’.”
Despite, You Tube is flooded with videos of KCR’s remarks on RTC’s closure, he still denies saying it.
When one reporter asked about TRS leaders cornering valuable properties belonging to RTC by taking on leases, KCR shot back, “How dare you ask this question directly to a Chief Minister? How dare you level this allegation against us?
Instead of answering the question and tell whether the allegations were right or wrong, KCR bulldozed journalists with his warnings and threatenings.
Is it necessary for journalists to attend press meets of KCR where none of their questions are answered properly and using press meet as a forum to humiliate journalists?
