ABN-Andhra Jyothy managing director Vemuri Radhakrishna continues to rub TRS chief and Telangana CM KCR the wrong way.
A day after Andhra Jyothy newspaper carried a banner story saying that Telangana State is in deep financial crisis, which angered KCR, one more news report was published by the same newspaper against TRS government today.
Andhra Jyothy published a report saying that contractors stopped works in all districts in Telangana as TRS government defaulted on payment of bills to them due to financial crisis.
Though finance secretary Ramakrisha convened a press conference yesterday to condemn Andhra Jyothy’s report on financial crisis and said Telangana continues to be ‘rich state’ under TRS regime, Radhakrishna carried one more story in his newspaper today stating that TRS govt has no funds to pay contractors due to which they stopped all the works mid way.
KCR directed officials to file legal case against Radhakrishna Rao for publishing fake reports on the financial condition of the government even after government clarifying on the issue.
KCR also directed officials to lodge a complaint against ABN Andhra Jyothy group with the Press Council of India for publishing fake news reports without verifying the facts.
After election code ends, KCR wants to take on Radhakrishna directly.
The government is likely to stop all the advertisements to ABN Andhra Jyothy besides cancellation of accreditation cards to the journalists of this group for writing fake news reports.
