Pawan Kalyan's strong touch

Hyderabad, July 14: With elections due all over the intersection, every political party is striving to get their own channel for the sake of publicity. And Pawan Kalyan's Jana Sena is no exception as general secretary Thota Chandrasekhar recently bought over a news channel.

"A few months ago, some channels initiated giving unfavorable publicity to Pawan Kalyan, which bothered the actor and induced him to even tweet about it. That's when he told his party people that it was better to get their own channel," says a source.

Interestingly, as soon as the 99TV news channel, formerly owned by the Communist Party came up for sale, Jana Sena party person Thota Chandrasekhar decided to buy it to inseminate Pawan Kalyan's live speeches.

"With this new channel, the actor also wants to counter other channels that are spreading negative publicity about him," adds the source.

Meanwhile, there are rumours that popular businessman Nimmagadda Prasad is planning to buy news channel 10TV which is also owned by the Communist Party.
