YS Jagan recently gave interview in his own channel Sakshi regarding his pada yatra and public response for that. As per some inside sources, Jagan’s representatives actually did plan to have Jagan’s interviews in other popular channels and they approached some top media channels too. But somehow it did not work out. As per these inside sources, the reason for not working out lies purely with Jagan and his team. The discussions between Jagan’s representatives and Media representatives happened on the lines similar to what is discussed below and if one sees such discussion, it is not difficult to understand why the media channels refused to interview Jagan.
Jagan’s representatives: As already discussed with you, we are interested in having Jagan being interviewed in your channel.
Media representatives: Sure, why not. Interviewing Jagan in a channel other than Sakshi will be first time. And, we are also pleased to have such an opportunity.
Jagan’s representatives: As you know, all leaders will have some limitations and so expect to avoid having questions on some specific topics.
Media representatives: Yeah, understand. We will take care of that. But at the same time we should not make the interview dull and uninteresting. You also know that. There are some questions, people would love to see Jagan answering them.
Jagan representatives: Like what?
Media representatives: Like the rumors that Jagan (desperately) wants to join hands with BJP.
Jagan representatives:No no…our leader won’t talk on BJP in the interview on these lines. You can ask how Jagan’s meeting with Modi went and how positive Modi was on Jagan and his party.
Media representatives: Oh, answer for that would be too predictable. Ok at least we will have question on possibility of Jagan joining hands with Pawan Kalyan
Jagan representatives:No no…our leader won’t talk strongly about Pawan. He may slightly touch base the topic of Pawan and his support to Babu but dont expect any deep or strong comments on Pawan from our leader.
Media representatives: Can we ask about progress of or lack of progress in Jagan’s cases?
Jagan representatives: No no..They are already under court purview, our leader can’t discuss on such court related matters.
Media representatives: You are saying “No no ” for everything. So what can we ask.
jagan representatives: You can ask about Chandrababu and his ruling, you can ask about pada yatra and public response for that, you can ask how he endured his political journey these many years despite so many pressures and hurdles, you can ask how his padayatra is comparable with YSR’s padayatra before 2004, you can ask how he balances his political life and personal life, you can ask what kind of cooperation he is getting from his family members, you can ask all these questions…
Media representatives: Ok, we’ll get back to you…..
Hope anyone can understand the plight of media representatives who faced the above discussion and also understand the reason why the top channels put Jagan’s interview on hold.
