With Kadapa MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy getting busy with building up his fledgling YSR Congress party and is in neck-deep plans to oust the Kiran Kumar Reddy government in the state, he is not able to focus on his favourite media house Sakshi daily and channel.
For the last few months, his wife Bharati Reddy has been managing the affairs in the media house in the capacity of managing director, while Jagan continues to be its chairman.
Of late, Bharati has been directly involving even in the editorial matters, dictating what should go into the pages and on screen and whom to attack. This has naturally been a sort of embarrassing for professional journalists who prefer to work in an independent environment.
And according to inside sources, Bharati has been ruthless in her functioning. The way she has shown the door for ex-Chief Executive Officer Priyadarshini Ram Reddy has become a talking point in the journalistic circles in Sakshi.
Though Ram Reddy has made up his mind to quit Sakshi a few days ago, he was shocked to find his chambers locked one fine day and when he enquired about the keys, the security people reportedly told him that “Madam” has taken over the keys. Ram Reddy got the hint and he went out without making any fuss. It was really an unceremonious exit for a person who contributed his sweat and blood to develop the channel, sources say.
