Jagan doesn’t trust ‘Sakshi’ 

Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”] 

‘Sakshi’ newspaper and TV news channel have played a critical role in popularizing YSRCP and YS Jagan and defaming TDP and Chandrababu Naidu. ‘Sakshi’ is indeed considered as a foster child to YS Jagan. During the 2009 elections, all the media houses predicted the victory of TDP-alliance in the combined Andhra Pradesh. But Sakshi was the only media house that predicted Congress (during the time of YS Rajasekhar Reddy) party would win the 2009 AP Assembly elections.

Going by the track record of Sakshi and its team of reporters, YS Jagan blindly followed their advice during the 2014 elections. Shockingly, YSRCP failed to come close to the TDP. Apparently, the public also lost trust in ‘Sakshi’ newspaper and accused it of nepotism towards YS Jagan.

Jagan also felt that it is better to distance himself completely from Sakshi and rather move towards a neutral media house. The costs of running the Sakshi media house have greatly increased in the past few years. No details have been available about the new neutral media house that is likely to be set up by YS Jagan very shortly. One the new media house comes into the picture, Sakshi would be slowly losing its importance.

Chandrababu Babu who is known for his cool-head recently lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre. Babu accused the BJP of the slow release of funds relating to the completion of Polavaram Project. This episode shocked everyone and has raised a doubt that, who is behind Babu?

Chandrababu maintained his calm nature even when he was met with ill-treatment from Modi and BJP at the Centre. Even when Jagan accused and alleged Babu of corruption and horse trading, there was no instance where Chandrababu reacted in a harsher tone.

Close sources claimed that a secret survey carried by the TDP in Andhra Pradesh revealed some astonishing facts. The people of Andhra Pradesh were highly dejected about the BJP Government at the center. A strong anti-Modi wave is currently seen in the state. While the support for TDP & Chandrababu grew when compared to the last year.

After realizing that people of Andhra Pradesh are against Modi, and are now with him, Chandrababu lashed out at Modi and Centre taking this as an opportunity. Chandrababu has been highly successful in moulding the Polavaram issue against PM Modi and BJP.

Chandrababu Naidu shocked every political analyst after he criticized Narendra Modi and BJP-led NDA government at the Centre on the Polavaram Project issue. It is a well-known fact that the people of Andhra Pradesh are emotionally bonded to the Polavaram Project. After the Centre started playing tantrums regarding Polavaram Project, the CM lashed out at them.

The biggest shock came after YS Jagan started appreciating the Centre’s move of nulling out present tenders for the construction of Polavaram and calling for a fresh tender. Jagan said, ‘No wonder the Centre has taken this decision. They have realized that Chandrababu Babu wilfully increased the estimates of Polavaram Project for his own benefit.’

Political analysts stated that YS Jagan is looking for an ‘alliance’ with BJP for his own greed and selfish reasons. ‘Jagan has realized that YSRCP will not be coming to power after 2019 elections. He is trying to have an alliance with BJP, which is expected to win the 2019 General elections. Jagan is making these moves so that BJP can help him in coming out of money laundering and other cases.’
