Telangana general poll results have given clarity on many socio and political issues prevailed in the contemporary society. On the other hand, the results also taught a good lesson to those media houses who have been biased on some political parties based on caste grounds.
In fact, yellow media had done monopoly in reporting news until 2014's general elections in both Telugu states. Thereafter, social media has emerged quite rapidly and exploited the biased news reports of yellow media houses.
Telangana general elections were considered to be the first war between yellow and social media.
It was alleged that TDP spent hundreds of crores on Praja Kootami ads and paid articles in newspapers and news channels. Lagadapati Rajagopal's fake survey and Nandamuri Suhasini's political entry were given overboard publicity in yellow media. On the other hand, social media busted the conspiracies of yellow media houses.
Finally, the results are out and it's a Brobdingnagian victory of TRS political party. Also, it is regarded as a runaway victory by social media. Wonder what social media snatched this victory with its debut match itself.
We are going to witness another crucial fight between yellow media and social media during general polls in AP which are scheduled in the month of May, 2019.
