Parakala Distancing From Babu?

Parakala Distancing From Babu?

Parakala Prabhakar, Media advisor to Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, is said to be upset with the way he is being treated by the latter.

According to reports from the Telugu Desam Party, Parakala has been keeping away from the Chief Minister’s Office for the last few weeks.

He is spending most of the time in Hyderabad, rather than in Vijayawada from where Naidu is operating.

He has not been attending any review meetings these days and has not been accessible to media in Vijayawada, at a time when Naidu was facing the onslaught of the Opposition on the special category status issue. 

In fact, Parakala has not given even a single clarification to the media on the special package vis-à-vis special category status demand.

Even on the latest demonetisation issue which has caused immense hardship to the people, Parakala was nowhere to be seen in the meetings held by Naidu. Several media persons have complained to Naidu against Parakala.

Apparently, Parakala is upset with Naidu for not taking him into confidence on issues of public concern like special category issue or demonetisation.

Entire publicity management has been entrusted to the Information and Public Relations department and Parakala has absolutely no say in it.

Though he is the media advisor, Naidu has never sought a single advice from him so far, say the sources, adding that that was why Parakala is distancing from Naidu.
