YS Jagan Mohan Reddy totally skipped the Assembly and is confined only to Pressmeets from his Tadepalli Palace.
The other day, he came before the media after a long time. Coming before the media in the sense that the press meeting in his Tadepalli Palace was held with only the reporters of his favorable media outlets in attendance.

There is a similarity between the press meetings of Jagan and Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu.
Both of them address media in a similar setup i.e., in a conference room with media in attendance sitting before and on either side of them. There is a projector behind them to show any documents or PowerPoint presentations.

The major difference is Chandrababu’s meets are from his workplace i.e., the Secretariat but Jagan works from his home be it in the Opposition or in the ruling.
There is another major difference in both these pressmeets.

While Jagan addresses the media, we can not see the media personnel interacting with him.
But while Chandrababu is doing that, we can clearly see who is in attendance. Their faces are also clearly shown while they are allowed to ask the questions.
Even though the commoners do not understand, those in media circles can clearly know who is attending in CBN’s Pressmeets.
However, in the case of Jagan’s press meetings, the camera is only on Jagan, even when the journalists are asking questions.
Probably, this arrangement is to avoid revealing the composition of the media invited.
Only Sakshi and a few journalists from the favorable Telugu and English media houses are invited to Jagan’s Pressmeets.
Probably, the YSR Congress would not want the world to know that.
It should be mentioned here that Nara Lokesh whenever he attends Public Pressmeets always makes it a point to ask for Sakshi and TV9. He is always ready to take questions from them and tries to establish that those channels are anti-TDP.
