Meanwhile, the company is planting leaks in select media that Ramesh was sacked after the company took serious note of comments on a subject that it (the company) was in no way concerned about.
Resigned or Sacked, why did it happen a day after the interview? What does the company have to do anything with Ramesh’s interview something not related to it in any way?
For that to understand, we should understand the background of MEIL and ‘Megha’ Krishna Reddy.
MEIL got the contract for the Pattiseema project during Chandrababu’s regime. Back then, Jagan alleged massive corruption and kickbacks in the project. After the election, everything has changed.
MEIL got the contract of Polavaram and many other projects in Jagan’s regime setting aside the earlier allegations. MEIL was the contractor of most projects in Telangana as well. Thus, Krishna Reddy became close to both Chief Ministers.
Just before the 2019 elections, MEIL along with My Home Group (Very close to KCR) picked up a nearly 200% stake in TV9, the then Number One Channel in Telugu, and made it a mouthpiece of BRS and YSR Congress.
MEIL owns 22.8% of NTV, the current Number one in Telugu News Channels, and My Home Group owns another 11%.
They lend support to both Governments using these channels and in return, they get the majority of contracts in both Telugu States.
It looks like Jagan and KCR are trying to corner Chandrababu trying to control PV Ramesh using MEIL.
