KCR Following Jagan Footsteps

KCR Following Jagan Footsteps

Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhar Rao seems to be following the footsteps of YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy in the promotion of his newspaper – Namasthe Telangana.

When Jagan had launched his “Sakshi” Telugu daily, there were reports that he had used his father Y S Rajasekhar Reddy’s influence and ensured that it was purchased by lakhs of Congress workers.

Those days, the government had made it mandatory for all the government offices and party outfits at all levels to purchase Sakshi Telugu daily. And that was how, its circulation had touched 12 lakh copies.

Now, KCR is said to be following the same strategy to circulate his Namasthe Telangana daily.

During the recent membership drive, the TRS had enrolled a little over 50 lakh people as party workers. Sources said there were oral instructions from the top that the members should subscribe to Namasthe Telangana daily compulsorily.

Even if one-fifth of them subscribe to the daily, the circulation would be around 10 lakh copies!
