CM warns media

Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy has issued a warning to the media that he might be forced to boycott them if they continued to write as they wished. Taking exceptions to some untrue versions in the media, the Chief Minister appealed to them to write accurately since he spoke with lot of clarity on the subject spoken by him in New Delhi or Visakhapatnam recently. Mr Kiran Kumar Reddy told media persons at the Secretariat on Wednesday to exercise restraint while reporting facts.

"I speak something and something else is reported," he said. He found fault with wrong interpretation. He also quoted what he said at Vizag and New Delhi and wondered how those reports presented different versions.

Appealing to the reporters, all, the Chief Minister asked the scribes to write a report which should convey correct meaning. "Otherwise I will avoid media," he warned in a lighter vein. The Chief Minister deplored that the media was twisting the facts to suit their needs and requirements. "I sometimes don't know what you are writing," he said.
