Media downplayed me: Vijayashanti

Telangana Rashtra Samithi secretary general Vijayashanti says she was compelled to merge her Talli Telangana Party with the TRS only because she did not get enough support from the media.

“For the last five years, I have fought single-handedly for Telangana. Being a woman, it is a great achievement and I did not succumb to any pulls and pressures. I was a celebrity with more than two decades in the glamour field and people know me very well. Yet, the media did not give me due importance, because of which I did not get the backing from other Telangana leaders. This is the importance being given to woman of independent character and spirit,” she said, in an interview to a private TV channel on Friday.

Vijayashanti says it is rather unfortunate that the Telangana parties had to join hands with Andhra parties to achieve the goal of Telangana. In that context, the TRS joining hands with the Mahakootami is a little better, compared to Nava Telangana Party merging with Chiranjeevi’s Praja Rajyam, which had absolutely no clarity on Telangana issue, she says.
