The Modi-Shah duo are giving shock treatments by not giving formal appointments to AP Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan these days. They are meeting YCP MP Raghurama Krishnam Raju frequently but not caring to meet CM and his favorite MP Vijayasai Reddy even once. Now again, Jagan Reddy had to cancel his two-day visit in Delhi half way and rush back to Andhra Pradesh. Various reasons are being given. But unusually, Sakshi media is maintaining silence on the issue. It has not put out any stories on return of CM and the reasons for that so far.

One fact is certain that the Prime Minister’s Office has not confirmed or responded to the AP CM request for appointment so far today. The same is the case with Amit Shah Office. Amid these disappointments, Jagan is returning without waiting for PM appointment any further.

Delhi political circles are full of rumours that all doors are closed for Jagan Reddy and his favourites like Vijayasai Reddy and Mithun Reddy. BJP is also angry over YCP demand in Lok Sabha for Special Status to AP which the Centre has already dismissed as a closed chapter.

The Sakshi Media is known for its misinformation campaigns against rivals. But nowadays, it turned very desperate by putting out unbelievable stories on CM Jagan meeting with Amit Shah in Delhi.

Sakshi writes that Union Home Minister Amit Shah expressed his total happiness with the Polavaram reverse tendering process initiated by AP. What more, Shah was said to have expressed full praise when Jagan told him about how the re-tendering helped in saving Rs 858 Cr in Polavaram project. However, such reports naturally raise doubts whether Amit Shah would go against his cabinet colleague Union Jal Sakthi Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat who has already opposed Jagan’s reverse policies.

The BJP AP leaders are taking strong objection to the Sakshi false reports on Amit Shah. They ask why would Shah make such serious comments contradicting other union ministers. There is no official statement from Shah Office. Clearly, Amit Shah didn’t give much importance to AP CM which is evident from how Jagan was just given a casual appointment on a day when Shah was busy with his birthday celebrations.

Nearly 250 journalists and office boys of Sakshi Media have already joined as PROs and assistants in different ministries and departments in AP Secretariat. They have already drawn salaries from the government. But still, they are continuing as the Sakshi employees as well. The management has asked them to resign from Sakshi since they have been given government posts.

However, the PROs are unwilling to resign from their Sakshi jobs. Rather they would like to give up government appointments since they are just contract jobs without any job security. Initially, only a few employees came up with this argument but later all the 250 staff took this decision. Eventually, the issue was presented before Advisor Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy who is left wondering how to find a mutually acceptable solution.

Reports say that the Sakshi management doesn’t want to bear salaries and expenses of excess staff any longer. It has been a long problem because too many excess staff are recruited over the years. Too many power centres and their eagerness to protect their groups’ interests have complicated these problems. Obviously, Jagan company is trying to rehabilitate Sakshi excess staff in government departments, which doesn’t look that easy.
