Telugu film industry has received yet another blow! Veteran singer G Anand succumbed to COVID-19 in a private hospital in Hyderabad on Thursday. Debuted with Pandanti Kapuram (1972) film as a singer, he shot to limelight with the evergreen melody 'OKA VENUVU VINIPINCHENU ANURAAGA GEETHIKAA' from America Ammayi (1976).
Though Sakshi newspaper is termed as a pamphlet of the YSRCP, it maintains some ethics in reporting the news. Sakshi published G Anand's death news in the first page and the news is continued with an elaborated description in the second page.
And did you know what our 'Ghanatha vahinchina Eenadu' did with G Anand's news? The newspaper didn't allot a slot for G Anand's news even a centimeter in the first page. The news was reported on the 3rd page. Had any seriously important news items covered in the first page? Nope!! The high court's stereotype criticism of the government, faded out leader Chandrababu Naidu's silly criticism on Jagan and a few other useless news items were covered in the first page. In the second a boring lengthy essay of the casteist Venky at the centre was published.
A common conclusion drawn by the readers is that G Anand doesn't belong to 'Eenadu' caste and so his demise news was not published in the first page of the newspaper.
