Ever since Jagan Reddy assumed the charges as a CM, it has been tattled that TV9 news channel has taken a pro-government stand. There were allegations that the ruling party has stakes in the channel as well. Whatsoever, most of the viewers are of the opinion that TV9 is the mouthpiece of Jagan Reddy.
Proving the speculations true, TV9 has come up with merely a biased report in favour of the government thus playing a spoilsport against the AP employees at this crucial moment wherein the employees are aggressively agitating for a justifiable PRC.
Having watched TV9's fake report, many employees are seen quizzing the following questions to the news channel.
* The channel mentioned the total revenue of the AP was 61K crore in 2020-21 financial year. The CAG report, however, asserted that the AP revenue clocked at 88K crore in the same financial year. Why hasn't the channel checked its facts right before broadcasting the report?
* TV9 exaggerated 27% IR. But then, the previous government had assured 20% IR which was supposed to be implemented three months in advance than the 27% IR proposed by the YCP government.
* The channel proclaimed some great words about the increase in retirement age to 62 years, discounts in housing schemes for the employees. In point of fact, no employee wished to get these bumper offers.
* It was TV9's hyperbole boasting about the central government's pay commission and the state government's decision to adopt the same for the AP employees. Blah.. Blah..If the central commission's pay is really that beneficial, why shouldn't TV9 advise the Telangana CM KCR to implement the central pay commission? No way, because TV9's management has great bonding with the TRS!?
* Dear TV9! Did you know one fact? Every employee wishes for a minimum of 20% hike in his gross salary as the new PRC comes into force after a huge gap of 8 long years. Nevertheless, what happened in reality? The hike is confined to less than 5% for every employee. Ironically, even this minute hike is due to the merger the DAs which were supposed to be drawn long ago by the employees.
* Why hasn't TV9 given enough coverage of teachers 'Collectorate Siege'?
* Why shouldn't the channel warn the ruling party not to distribute free money to the unneedy sections. Doesn't the channel know the fact that the state's financial situation bankrupted owing to the dirtiest policies?
