Well, one might get this doubt if one reads the story carried by Eenadu Telugu daily on Friday. It was about Telugu Desam Party president and AP chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu’s meeting with President of India Pranab Mukherjee at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Thursday.
While all the other newspapers carried only a photo of Naidu with Pranab and a small report of the chief minister asking the President to come to Krishna Pushkarams, only Eenadu carried a different story.
It said Pranab was all praise for Naidu for his vision of developing the state and his daring steps to link Godavari river with Krishna through Pattiseema.
“The country needs Chief Ministers like you. Had every CM follows your footsteps, the country would prosper a lot,” the report quoting Pranab said.
It was just a one-one-one meeting between Pranab and Naidu and there was nobody else in the Rashhtrapati Bhavan; not even officials and personal staff. So, either Pranab or Naidu should have told Eenadu reporter in Delhi about what transpired between the two word by word.
Otherwise, Eenadu might have installed bugs in Rashtrapathi Bhavan to listen to what they were talking. Ironically, the report used the phrases: “It is learnt; it is said and reportedly said… etc.”
It clearly shows the report was just a kite-flying exercise to appease Naidu!
