Once a popular hero in Tollywood, Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan has hardly been getting any coverage in the mainstream media, though he has started activating his party in the recent past, after going into silent mode following his party’s miserable show in the Andhra Pradesh assembly elections.
Sakshi, the mouth piece of YSR Congress party, has been giving zero coverage to Pawan Kalyan or his party.
While the daily has not been publishing even a small bit about Pawan either in main pages or in district supplements, Sakshi channel or even the web edition has completely blacked out the Jana Sena Party and its boss.
Even the letter written by Pawan Kalyan to YSRC president and chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy requesting that the government relax norms for supply of sand to resume construction activities in the state has not found a place in Sakshi media.
Even the pro-Telugu Desam Party media houses like Andhra Jyothy and Eenadu, which used to give considerable coverage to Pawan Kalyan before the elections, have stared ignoring him after the elections.
However, unlike Sakshi, these yellow media are not completely blacking out Pawan, but are giving insignificant coverage in the inside pages.
While the television channel owned by Jana Sena party leader 99TV has no great viewership, no other media house is giving any coverage to him.
That is precisely, Pawan wants to bring out his own forthnightly magazine to highlight his speeches and party programmes!
