The TDP-allied news dailies, their channels and social media channels are seemingly focused on provoking the ruling party in Andhra Pradesh, questioning why no action is being taken against opposition party leaders.
Both Andhra Jyothy and Eenadu regularly publish articles asking why certain former ministers haven’t been arrested, why specific officers haven’t been transferred or removed, and why certain bureaucrats haven’t been held legally accountable.
When Chandrababu Naidu states that he is not interested in revenge politics, it appears to conflict with the expectations of the TDP-allied media.
For instance, ABN’s Radha Krishna has been actively pressuring the government to take action against several YSRCP leaders and officials from that era.
It is absurd to see media attempting to dictate terms to the government and the system.
In a democracy, there are elected representatives, an elected government, and established systems like the police and courts.
The question many are asking now is, what purpose do these institutions serve if media themselves act as arbiters, demanding action against individuals based on personal biases rather than evidence?
