It has become a common practice for members of the media to use their press cards in situations where it may not be necessary. People often say "press" when stopped by the police or to gain entry somewhere. However, this is a trivial matter.
Ramoji Rao's case is a different story. When a case was filed against Margadarsi during YSR's time, he strongly used his press card. Various party leaders made a fuss, claiming that the media was being attacked. This could be due to Ramoji's influence in various systems, and the case has been dragging on. In any case, the press card has proven to be useful.
After all these years, the Margadarsi issue has resurfaced. The Andhra Pradesh government has been working hard for the past month to resolve this issue, taking one step at a time. They have conducted searches and made arrests on branches and chartered accountancy companies systematically. Finally, the Ramoji family has been implicated in the investigation.
But no political party is in a rush to intervene, except for the "caste" media. Recently, Janasena's Nagababu also spoke out, questioning whether this treatment was fair to a great man who has employed thousands of people. It is worth noting that even Kingfisher's Mallya has provided jobs to thousands of people. If it is right to criticize Mallya, then it is also right to criticize Ramoji. A crime is a crime if proven!
If there were no mistakes in Margadarsi, the government would not have taken such aggressive action. If there were no mistakes, Ramoji Rao would not be sitting idly. He would have explained everything in detail in his daily. It is understandable why he did not take the route of publishing a small book or summarizing everything on one page. Ramoji knows that he cannot justify his actions by himself but can only save his skin through legal means. This is also why Vundavalli has been vehement on the Margadarsi issue.
However, Ramoji has not given up. He wants to fight for his victory through the courts. But unfortunately, his Press Card seems not to be as powerful as it was in the past.
