While Black Fungus and White Fungus are shaking the entire nation in this pandemic wave, a section of media has become like Yellow Fungus in the state of Andhra Pradesh that is badly affecting some people and their families.
The particular section of media needs people to participate in their long chat shows to criticise the government of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.
It is true that the media channels can criticise on their own once or twice, but to continue that as a series they need people who can vehemently take on the opponents and create nuisance by igniting caste conflicts.
The channels encourage such people highlighting their every statement. In the process, unknowingly the people in the media trap are getting into trouble.
It was Sabbam Hari who was first used by those channels in the interest of their favorite political party. But after his demise, the channels didn't bother about his son and his family members. The political party that's backing up these channels also ignored the future of the fallen leader's son.
Then the channels gave big room for Raghu Rama Krishnam Raju to verbally attack YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and his government. Finally that landed him in legal troubles. The Court also silenced him by keeping him away from creating nuisance on the TV channels.
Even his wife and son had to come on to the roads crying for their plight. They had to plead the biggies in Delhi to save Raghu Ramakrishnam Raju from legal troubles.
Finally, the political party that encouraged him released a Press Note and turned off their heads. But the real sufferer is Mr Raju and his family.
Right now, the yellow channels need people to criticise the government of AP in a vulgar way. But whoever falls into their trap, may have to suffer. This is like the new Yellow Fungus in the political scenario.
