Why is KCR trying to ban media in Secretariat?

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has decided to ban media from entering secretariat. Going forward Media will be allowed in to the secretariat only on prior invitation. Government says that 200 media personnel is staying in secretariat every day and it is becoming increasingly difficult to screen them and maintain security. Also the government says there is a parking problem arising due to the media presence.

However all the reasons are trash and the real intention is to keep media away from secretariat. The media is keeping a continuous tab on the happenings there and visitors coming to meet the CM and Ministers. As a result, government is uncomfortable. Recently the media leaks about corruption in Health department also forced removal of Rajaiah from the cabinet.

KCR do not want those things to happen and decided to rein media from secretariat. The government going forward will communicate necessary things through emails to media. And if there is any press meet, invitations will be sent and later media personnel will be sent out immediately after it.
