    Times now echoed yellow syndicate..

    Q1). Isnt it strange that Jagans media empire and

    Janardhan reddys business associate operate from

    same address?

    Ans) Is it strange for many companies running their

    offices from one multi storied apartment complex to

    have the same address? If it is, then how many

    companies in this country, especially in Metros which

    are sharing same apartment complexes be linked in

    same manner? Is it fair to link Times Now with any ofthe other co tenants of the same apartment complex for

    any of the activities done by them?

    It is even explained in the counter filed before the High

    court of Andhrapradesh while answering the allegations

    made by petitioner Mr.Shankar Rao who is a minister of

    Andhra Pradesh.

    Following is the extract.

    The premises bearing No.8-2-120 is a residential

    complex by name M/s. Krishna Sindhu Residency,

    Banjara Hills, Hyderabad. In the said building complex

    there are about 14 apartments. I state that M/s. Jagati

    Publication Limited was incorporated with the address

    of the auditors, M/s. V S Reddy & Co. for the limitedpurpose of incorporation. It is pertinent to note that

    Jagati publication was incorporated with the address G-

    l, Krishna sindhu residency. Red gold enterprises was

    located at F-l & RR Global Enterprises Pvt Ltd at S-3 of

    the same apartments. It is therefore clear that three

    offices are located at three different flats in three

    different floors and therefore the allegation is

    completely baseless and malicious. After about a week

    after incorporation, M/s. Jagati Publication Limited

    shifted its registered office to Reliance House, Road

    No.7, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad.

    Q2) Why has Reddys partner made huge investment in

    Jagans media empire?

    Ans)First of all, Reddys partner, Red Gold did not

    invest a single pie in any of Sakshi group companies

    and the

    irony is Red Gold did not even have a bank account tillSakshi refuted the same allegation published in the rival

    newspaper Eenadu nearly two years ago.

    Some facts about Red gold:

    The business partner of Red gold Mr.Ramasubba

    reddy is a professional employee, of R.R.Global but

    not a share holder or a director. Its not strange that Gali

    Janardhan Reddy or anyone else for that mattershould utilize the services of Mr.Rama subbareddy (or

    someone of similar expertise) who is one of

    the leading geologists of our state. He had worked as

    the Executive Director of Andhra Pradesh Mining

    corporation when Chandrababu naidu was the Chief

    Minister,incidentally the same chandrababu grantedextension of mining leases to gali janardhan reddy when

    he was the cheif minister.Is it not obvious that there is a

    link between Red gold and Chandrababu naidu? (One

    should understand that mining leases are granted by

    virtue of First Applicant basis and we presume that by

    virtue of Mr Ramsubba Reddys professional geological

    skills he was offered some share in Red Gold , that it

    3/4

    did not materialize is another story) One should also

    note that Mr.Sambasiva rao, an IAS officer had

    resigned to join Chandrababu naidus Heritage Foods.

    Q3) How is the 50 percent partner in janardhan Reddys

    illegal mining company also a director of Jagans media

    empire?

    Ans)Before you taint someones name through your

    broadcasting the minimum you should do is to send

    your questionnaire and give the other person anopportunity to speak for themselves. That is the

    principle we follow at Sakshi. Get your facts right

    before you air. The so calledpartner in Janardhan

    reddys mining company is not a director nor a share

    holder in any of Jagans

    companies.Period. R.R.Global is an investor in

    Sakshi. Its an undisputed fact. Mr.Ramasubba reddywho is an employee in R.R.Global is a partner in Red

    gold. Its also an undisputed fact. But what is the

    relation between Gali Janardhan reddys companies and

    Sakshis investors? R.R.Global where Mr.Sajjala

    Diwakar reddy is a director has invested in Sakshi and

    Diwakar Reddys brother Mr.Sajjala Ramakrishnareddy who is a journalist for the past three decades is

    the editorial director of Sakshi. But what is the link

    between Gali Janardhana reddys companies and

    Diwakar reddys companies? Sajjala family, has been

    in the mining business for the past three decades

    and RR Global is, or was not doing any business with

    Gali Janardhan reddys companies.

    Q4) Did Jagan have any stake in Brahmani steel, a

    reddy owned company that got land at throw away rates

    during father YSRs regime?

    Ans) Mr.Jaganmohan Reddy did not have even onepercent share in this company. This land allocated in

    one of the most backward district in Andhrapradesh that

    is Cuddapah which is the home district of YSR family.

    If YSR is interested in Quid Pro quos, then he might

    have allotted lands to Gali near Hyderabad or The most

    developed towns of Andhra Pradesh as it was happenedin GMRs case during Chandrababu Naidus regime.Q5) Instead of trying to be defiant, should Jagan come

    clean on whether there was Quid Pro Quo between his

    companies and Janardhan Reddys?

    Ans) One should prove at least a single rupee

    transaction between these companies. Otherwise it is

    carrying up wild allegations made by the rival media inAndhra Pradesh from the last three years.

    Note: Times Now has carried the same version of rival

    news paper Eenadu which had published the same story

    on 11th

    November 2009. It was countered and answered

    in detail through Sakshi on the very next day i.e.

    12th

    November 2009. On 17th

    November 2009, for thefirst time Mr.Ramakrishna reddy, Editorial Director of

    Sakshi, had answered these allegations on his name

    through Sakshi.
