If what we called IT experienced in 2003 as ‘BOOM’, now the state of the media in AP should be called super duper boom boom! Media is everywhere and anywhere this month. Telugu news channels are at their peak, busy replaying and zooming into riots and live interviews of screaming people.Right from morning to night, every bit of breaking news involved Telangana issue; every bit of news termed ‘Breaking news’. Every scroll informs the public (dutifully!), which MLA resigned, which minister threatened the centre, what demands did a group of directionless students ask for!. This and only this! And what will public(including me) do when so many varieties of spices are bestowed right into their bosom. Naturally we kept watching whatever they showed and let them mould our mind set willfully. Isn’t there a press agency that can restrict these news channels? There has to be! Media has definetly lost the right to be the only estate more powerful than the democracy itself!

It’s loud and clear that the so-called fasts (with saline facilities) are being done by and for the people who have something to loose or gain out of their political career. And the disgusting thing is not one person is trying to hide their infamous intentions in involving in this melodrama. The most laughable thing happens when these people come before the media and take the common man’s name and say ‘Maa prajalaku telusu evaru vaariki nyaayam chesthaaro’ (‘Our people have always known who can do justice to them’) . Yes, we know that no one is genuinely thinking of pros and cons of telangana issue w.r.t the common man. Yes, we know 90% of the riots are being fed by ABC and XYZ parties. Yes, we know none of theses fasts last longer than two days and if they did, there has to be some personal benefit behind it (And I am not being a cynic here!). But we also know that this gyan does not matter a damn too!

Fed up of this now! Its time the centre and Sonia take the right decision; whatever it might be; and as a next step, invoke the President’ rule to shut up EVERYONE raising voices against the decision. The ministers all over AP have taken off the right to be democratic from the public. They no longer represent the mindset of the people in their region. So what’s the point of looking for a united decision from them. Its time centre puts its foot down and decides on behalf of Andhra Pradhesh!
