There is a lot of link and interrelation between politics and media and one of the major factors that has contributed to the success of Telangana statehood movement is the unstinted support of media. In this regard, KCR has been lucky enough to ensure he gets the support of national media which is not that easy.
Time and again, KTR, Kavitha and others hogged limelight during bifurcation drama from 2009-14 and they were the frequent guests on national TV channels while TDP even didn’t get any minimum representation there. Such was the power of Telangana movement that changed the for tunes of KCR.
NDTV has been focusing on farmer suicides
However, NDTV has been focusing on farmer suicides nation wide as well as the distress caused among them due to government negligence. In this regard, NDTV has exclusively focused on suicides in KCR’s native constituency of Gajwel in Medak districts of Telangana highlighting their plight.
NDTV called for mass donations to the families of such farmers who passed away due to suicides recently and appeal for money for their children’s education, bread and butter. For around more than 60families, rich families in Gurgaon offered Rs. 3 lakh to each. Embarrassed by this program, TS government ordered an interim relief but national level reputation of TRS has been affected.
