Is it the end of the road for YSRCP rebel MP Raghuramakrishnam Raju? It appears so. He seems to have hit a political roadblock. In the final analysis, the question is did he achieve anything at all? The answer would be an emphatic NO. Today, Raghuramakrishnam Raju or RRR as he is known is totally isolated within the party and shunned by the media that revelled in the content he provided.
RRR, who was in the BJP for some time, wanted to leverage his connections with the BJP top brass and wanted to emerge as a key player in Delhi. But, his attempts were stymied by Rajya Sabha MP and party general secretary Vijaysai Reddy. Frustrated, he had run-ins with local MLA Mudunuru Prasada Raju and others. Unable to make much headway, he began attacking YS Jagan himself. Since he was criticizing the CM , a section of the media promoted him and gave him a lot of coverage. On TV screens, he had even criticized Jagan openly. Since he gave TRPs, the media gave him hours and hours of air time. Though he managed to secure a bail in the cases filed by the AP government, he is much mellowed now.
Also, the TV channels are dropping him like a hot potato especially after cases were filed against some media houses. So, he is not getting the kind of coverage he used to get earlier. So, today is back to square one. He has no media space, no coverage and he is not getting any support from any political party. Despite all his fight, he could not do much to damage Jagan’s popularity. At the end of the day, he has ended up being a lone ranger.
