YSR Congress deputy floor leader Shobha Nagi Reddy has charged a section of the electronic media with falsely reporting that the bandh called by her party which was successful, was a flop. She has lamented that some channels had telecast special bulletins to state that there was no bandh at all in the state.
Talking to the media here on Friday, she said some channels had telecast wrong and misleading reports of this kind during the Odarpu Yatra of her party chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy also. She has questioned why these channels which were telecasting special reports on the seriousness of the power situation had chosen to telecast such false news on the effect of the bandh. She has advised the channels to desist from such attitude and telecast factual news.
BANDH SUCCESSFUL, PEACEFUL SAYS SHOBHA
Shobha Nagi Reddy has claimed that the bandh sponsored by her party on the power problem was successful and peaceful. She said it was unfortunate that the government chose to get her party leaders arrested. Stating that people were vexed with power cuts, she said this was the reason why people had participated in the bandh voluntarily. She has clarified that the bandh was organized to do good to the people and not for getting political advantage. She has thanked every one for making the bandh “successful”. (NSS)
