Have you every watched Leader of Opposition, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy talking one on one to a Telugu Channel on any issue. Nobody would have because Jagan Mohan Reddy always keeps regional media at a distance. Before the 2014 elections, Jagan used to converse only with National Media and at best with his Sakshi Channel.
A Couple of days ago, Jagan had an interactive program with NRIs which was arranged by Sakshi TV Channel about the Special Status issue. A lot of groundwork was done for this program. All the NRIs participated are the NRI wing members of YSR Congress. There was an extreme coordination between Sakshi TV and the NRI wings to get all YSR Congress favorable comments.
Jagan even deployed his confidante Senior Journalist to run the show. With so much of homework done on one single TV show, it looks like Jagan Mohan Reddy will not let go off his media phobia. But then even Jagan fans would accept that it’s high time he let go the phobia before 2019 elections so as to get closer to the people.
