A top rated pro TDP news channel is learnt to have been playing caste politics with the slain MLA Kidari Sarveswara Rao. It is a known news that the MLA and the former MLA Soma were shot dead by the Maoist group this afternoon.
The MLA's supporters ransacked Dumriguda and Araku police stations and set them afire.
The Maoists allegedly killed the MLA as the latter had indulged in illegal mining activities and bauxite digging with the support of the ruling TDP.
Meanwhile, aforesaid TV channel reportedly decided to save the ruling party from opposition parties criticisms on government's encouragement on illegal quarries and mining.
As such, the channel has been scrolling the news snippets which read "Maoists killed two ST leaders. All the people are very serious on them. They called for a bandh tomorrow. SC and ST associations leaders condemned the act of Maoists." And the news goes on.
Ironically, the channel always boasts about that it would encourage 'A better society. In reality, the channel works for caste based political party.
