Yesterday, pictures of Nagababu signing his MLC nomination papers were officially released by the JanaSena Party.
However, what stands out is the complete silence from TDP circles and, more surprisingly, the mainstream media.
Leading newspapers like Eenadu, Andhra Jyothy, and even Sakshi did not cover the news, not even as a small tidbit in their inside pages.
Nagababu is filing his nomination papers today, yet the lack of media attention raises an important question: Did mainstream media genuinely deem this unworthy of coverage, or was there a deliberate reason behind the blackout?
An insider suggests that TDP-aligned media prefers a submissive JanaSena within the alliance and does not want it to assert its strength independently.
If Pawan Kalyan had waited for Chandrababu Naidu to announce Nagababu’s name instead of doing it himself, the situation might have been different.
By making the announcement and releasing the signing pictures himself, Pawan Kalyan projected JanaSena’s influence in the alliance, something that may not have sat well with TDP-friendly media outlets.
Adding to the intrigue is Sakshi’s silence, despite not being pro-TDP. Another insider opined that Sakshi views both TDP and JanaSena in a similar light and avoids covering anything favorable to them.
This unexpected media blackout raises eyebrows, leaving many wondering about the political dynamics at play and the kind of zero attention the media is showing at Nagababu.
