In a surprising twist, the YSR Congress Party, previously known for blocking ABN and TV5 during its rule in Andhra Pradesh, is now upset about similar actions against channels it supports. ABN and TV5 had struggled unsuccessfully to find legal solutions during that period. But with a new government in place, the situation has reversed.
Cable operators across the state have blocked channels like TV9, NTV, 10TV, and Sakshi, which are seen as supporting the previous government. The YSR Congress quickly called this move “illegal blocking” and filed a complaint with the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI).
This complaint was lodged by S. Niranjan Reddy, a lawyer connected to Jagan’s disproportionate assets cases and recently made a Rajya Sabha MP. The move has stirred discussions on social media, with many people suggesting that the Telugu media needs a cleanup, claiming that corrupt channels deserve such treatment.
Now, everyone is watching to see if the YSR Congress’s complaints will be taken seriously, considering that similar complaints by ABN and TV5 from 2019 to 2024 were ignored. This situation brings up important issues about media freedom, bias, and political influence in the state’s broadcasting industry.
