IYR Slams RK On Kotha Paluku

Retired IAS officer I Y R Krishna Rao criticized Andhra Jyothi MD Radha Krishna for his weekly column, Kotha Paluku.

Using his Twitter handle, IYR quoted a statement by actress Bhanu Priya in the old film Swarnakamalam, where she says, "Ardham Chesukoru" (You don’t understand).

Readers understood every word of RK's last week’s Kotha Paluku, where he claimed that KCR had offered Rs. 1000 crore to Pawan Kalyan for an alliance. As readers took RK to task through social media, he came out this week with an explanation.

He claims that journalism also involves writing about the scenes behind the news, and last week’s column was one such writing.

IYR said in his tweet that RK should have written his column as clearly as his explanation this week. But the agenda was to send Jagan home and bring Naidu back to power, and hence the last week's column was aimed at this agenda.

As the agenda backfired, RK came up with an explanation to justify his last week's ill-intended column. IYR stated that people have understood the spirit and intentions of the column, but not as RK intended.

Without political intentions, RK could have written the column in a way that would not have forced him to write an explanation for what he had written last week.
