Reportedly less than a week after the TDP government was toppled in Andhra and YS jagan led his YSRCP to an impressive victory in the state Assembly elections, friction has arisen between the two parties. Furthermore Andhra ex-CM Chandrababu Naidu’s son Nara lokesh has claimed that Sakshi TV has been spreading fake news about him, and has demanded that Sakshi media group retract their “allegations.”
As per report Sakshi TV and newspaper are owned by jagan, where his wife YS Bharati Reddy is the chairperson of Sakshi Publications and Sakshi TV. Earlier on Tuesday, in a letter addressed to K Ramachandra Murthy, Editorial Director of Sakshi Media Group, lokesh wrote that he strongly condemned the “fake news that Sakshi TV had spread against him and on May 28, Sakshi TV channel broadcasted breaking news quoting me as having said, “Party workers and leaders are responsible for the party’s defeat. If EVMs have betrayed him 10%, party workers have betrayed him 90%.”
Moreover lokesh also tweeted about the issue, saying, “It is unfortunate that even other media organizations are also following this toxic news spread by Sakshi. I have written a letter to the Sakshi media group Editorial Director, who is responsible for all of this, to denounce the broadcast of this fake news, to respond promptly on this issue and take action.”
