While CBN is implementing all of KCR’s tricks in AP, there is one aspect in which KCR is following his ‘guru’. And that is in the art of media management.
Whether anything gets done or not, creating a lot of hype and then getting credit for virtually nothing done on the ground through support from the media. This is an art CBN has perfected and taken to the highest level and KCR is following the same.
On April 4, Infosys founder Narayana Murthy will be inaugurating the new ‘IT Policy’ of the Telangana government.
The government had decided to unveil the policy during the visit of Microsoft CEO, the Telugu-speaking Satya Nadella, in December last year. But with the model code of conduct coming into force, it had to defer the launch.
As the polls are over and the ongoing session of Legislature is also set to close, the IT Department has fixed April 4 as the new launch date. And this time, it will be Infosys founder N.R. Narayana Murthy who will launch the policy.
In doing so, Telangana also would keep its penchant for roping in big names for launches intact. For the opening of the T-Hub, the State had waited for emeritus chairman of Tata Group Ratan Tata to recover after a surgery.
Thus, there will be no shortage of publicity and hype. Will anything actually happen on the ground? Good question!
