Sting Op backfires!

Ramoji's chopper did not take permissions. Cases likely against King of Good Times, Adikesavulu, (SAAP) Prasad, Kesavulu
Going up in a chopper for the sting operation in Kadapa might land Ramoji in a morass. After some quick back end checking, Congress leaders traced the trail of Ramoji's Operation Kadapa. Chittoor MP Adikesavulu Naidu arranged the chopper that belonged to the King of Good Times. Telugu Desam leader and former SAAP Chairman Prasad flew in it along with paparazzi Kesavulu. The sting operators have not informed the aviation authorities and did not secure permissions to fly in the zone, a serious crime. YSR is likely to ensure that Union government files cases against the airline operator, crew and passengers. So Operation Kadapa is going to backfire! Like land surrender gesture boomeranged on YSR! By the way, what did the great operation achieve? Except the watch tower, did they find or disclose anything new? Was the operation worth it. It only exposed Ramoji's desperation to save himself by undercutting YSR. The operation would attract legal action as it violated laws as blatantly as Margadarsi HUF did in mobilising public deposits. Ramoji will have no escape route from this tactical blunder. (Eenadu team who faulted us and pointed out precedents of Speaker chiding media would do well to do some reading in RRG and enlighten the readers on what sections of law the sting Op violated and what is the minimum punishment for it!)
Ram in Ramoji Parivar
As friend Ramoji got desperate in his attack on YSR, N Ram thought it's about time to make bones to Kam-red Ramoji! Despite drawing flak for foolishly rushing to the defence of Ramoji, Ram continues to support him and in the process erode the credibility of his own paper. The Hindu, like never before, had a 4-column Page One story on the "impecaable record" of Margadarsi. The content was all stale and had no context. So, Ram's the Singhal of Ramoji Parivar -- rabid and of great nuisance value. Senior journalists recall what Ram did that forced Chitra, who broke the Bofors report, out of The Hindu. More recently, the reporter who filed the story on Jayalalithaa too was forced to quit. We will have all those details later.

I think you are cartrying this too far. Anyone can make out that you have a strong anti Ramoji rao bias. Please don;t do this and damage the credibility you have built up.

We were having a series of top quality articles on your blog site and now you have resorted to this Ramoji Rao bashing, again. Come on, Get real. Don't be a Congress mouthpiece.

Did you read today's front page anchor story Hindu about RBI giving a clean chit to Ramoji Rao and Margdarsi, except for an interpretation of an HUFs ability to collect funds. That is a legal point which can be challenged in the courts, as RBI officials themslves admit.Why are you not carrying that news ?

What will Undavalli do now ? Will he eat his words ? Same with YSR.

We know that the Reddy brothers of DC are equally corrupt as Ramoji Rao. You have not carried a single article on them till now. They blow the money from the investors at Malakpet, buy Bentleys and Mercs whcih are then sold for a few lakhs to their relatives. DCs accounts are in a mess with money due running into hundreds of crores, and everyone knows that. Ask their auditors in private about it.

Write about all that if you have guts.

This I want to share with you all. Once I asked Mr. Kesavulu about snapping the famous incident of Mr. Rajivgandhi chiding then chief minister Mr. Anjaiah, for what he is popular in Eenadu. I asked him whether he had any similar idea in his mind to take the photographs to the way they appeared in next day Eenadu. Because I was told even a boy in media organisation thinks like a journalist does. This I heard true in Eenadu as their office boys, if they find any accident or suspect any incident, call up editorial staff. He said that he had no plan in his mind and covered the way any other event he did. He didn’t tell me who got the idea to present those photograph in the sequence they appeared. But Mr. Kesavulu got instant popularity in the organisation besides a pat from his boss, Ramoji. I think by now, he must have mastered the art of snapping to destruct reputations (like in Anjaiah and YSR’s case). Anyway Kesavulu might have once again been patted by his boss for his destructive work, yet the special mention comes in the form of cases if your “sting op backfires’ is true. Poor fellow!

vikram,

it sounds like n ram has joined the ramoji's bandwagon. 'ram'oji of 'the hindu' is now looks more frustrated as he would have to lose the advt tie-up with eenadu group. hey 'ram'oji, we are enlightened enough to know the attack on media. in fact, we from this state have always been in the forefront in protecting the rights of the journlists and the fourthestate. its only people like u (the management trying to keep its control over editorial) who have ruied the fourthestate and made it worse than a realestate. murthy did well in 'jyouthi' exposing the 'ram'- 'ramoji' nexus and their greatest struggle to protect media from attack. though murthy tried his best to expose the nexus, he could not make it so clear at the end... perhaps he too is working under another 'ra'(radha krishna). but murthy must have had the clarity in his mind, which we all can understand. murthy, we still have respect for u. u r not like that sastry, who comes out with saffron weil all thro his life and career.

2. Please also give some legal advices or info on defemation cases. Atleast give the IPC sections and most of the journos don't know abot defamation.
3. Also you pls register a domain name. say www.apmedia.com. IT will cost you only few bucks.

The real fear of the political parties opposing YSR,is not merely the skeletons that will tumble out of their own cup boards. Their biggest worry is , if YSR redistributes lakhs of acres of illegally acquired assigned lands , it will lead to a mad frenzy of the Land less farmers. They will swarm the houses of Congress leaders with petitions for land. YSR will acquire a Halo of his own to rival that of Indira Gandhi’s and NTR’s.

Ramoji taking the help of the likes of N.Ram or JP Narayan of Loksatta ( nay, Lok Chetta) reminds me of Congress Party parading Senior Owisi & Manda Krishna in Karimnagar. Too late and too little.
The consequences will be equally disastrous.

Photos of fences, compound walls, trees and black top roads , will not rescue Ramoji from the consequences of his pathological hatread of YSR/Congress. He will sink and will take along with him not only his shredded credibility but also that of AP Print media.

HUM THO DUBENGE SANAM. AAP KO BHI SAAT LEY DUBENGE.

Ramoji wants to blackmail everyone to cover-up his 2,600 crore fraud. Good to see many journalists supporting this fraud. The question is who will pay this huge sum to the people. One should appreciate the guts of Undavalli for bringing this fraud to light. I personally donot see any caste angle in this. The question here is can we allow a newspaper to blackmail people and parties to cover its misdeeds.
P.S. Please donot brand me as a pro YSR journalist. I believe YSR has done wrong and he should also be punished.

Eenadu and Etv people want to ban Congress interviews. This reminds me the saying "Cheruvumeeda aligi.."

Vikram,

Really my Kudos to you. Eenadu may be doing good by digging into Cong leaders assets. But their pathetic behaviour used in the cartoons against CM is really not acceptable..

Continue your work my dear friend..your blog is going to rock in few days...Kudos again

Hello Vikram,

I could not understand why you are not looking at interesting bits found by News Paper but digging on how they collected this information. There is no problem for us (the people) about Ramoji's deeds. Anyway judiciary will take care of them. But, being elected by us the CM must be answerable to us. It seems he is not conscious of this fact and eroding(in fact stabbing) the values of Democracy. There is no pint in discussing, writing blogs, editorials etc.. etc.. unless one can see it with this spirit rather than personal mud throwing.

I dont know why everybody is willing to support congress, and treating the land grabber YSR as a hero. Not that Chandrababu or eenadu is free of this type of crime.

This proves our system is broken, the past congress and tdp govts did nothing. It is time to round up these asses and fix the system.
