It's a crystal clear verdict. It's not about the earth shattering victory of the ruling YSRCP in municipal polls we are discussing. This is about the way the main opposition party, the TDP, has bitten the dust in Panchayat and municipal polls we are deciphering.
Having gone through the fall of the TDP's strength in comparison with its performance in 2019's, it's made out that the party is all set to disappear from AP's political picture.
What could have been the principal cause behind the cataclysm in the TDP? Extreme levels of flattery and biased reporting of news of certain pro TDP newspapers and TV channels held responsible for the TDP's fall.
Considering Chandrababu Naidu's age factor and Nara Lokesh's poor leadership skills and lack of charisma, TDP is unlikely to strike back for next general elections. At this juncture, pro TDP media houses should support Janasena chief Power Star Pawan Kalyan to take on the ruling party in the AP state. Instead of giving the coverage of Janasena news in the back pages, they should cover JSP's news with banner headings. Doing so, Janasena can be strengthened for the general polls. If the anti-incumbency is made well use of by the JSP and the TDP, they can assume power on seat sharing method. One more fact sheet asserts that the TDP can never come into power without the support of JSP. Realizing this fact, JSP's news should be given a wider coverage even more to that of the TDP's news. If at all this is done, yellow news media can erase their caste biased blot out.
