Vijayakarnataka is dead; Times of India has started fixing Kannada news

On the day the Times of India (may its tribe decrease) took over the reigns of Vijayakarnataka, the newspaper died.

In a clear case of reporting only partial facts and facts which are inimical to the future of Kannada, Kannadigas and Karnataka, the 6 July 2006 edition of Bengalooru Vijaya, a supplement of Vijayakarnataka, reports that the 5th year celebrations of Radiocity 91 FM happened in Bengalooru. The paper completely hides the most important event of the day, viz. the attack by Karnataka Rakshana Vedike on the event site, the ensuing breaking of microphone sticks, the fact that the entire stage was uprooted by the workers of Karnataka Rakshana Vedike. It is known to everybody in Bengalooru, why Kannadigas all over the world that THE FUNCTION DID NOT HAPPEN, AND RJ'S AND THE AUDIENCE HAD TO RUN IN FEAR.

Why didn't Vijayakarnataka report this at all?
  • The Times group, which has taken over the paper, owns Radio Mirchi which has also come under the Vedike radar. Mirchi has been given an ultimatum to start airing 100% Kannada programmes or else...
  • The boss of Vijayakarnataka is a Malayali. What else do you expect?
  • Vishweshwara Bhat has become a pawn in the hands of TOI
  • Ka. Ra. Ve. would have got quite a bit of publicity if it had reported it.
Arise, O Kannadiga! Look at the way outsiders are walking away with all this nonsense! Look at how your own fight for equality in your own land is being subdued by outsiders! If you have the slightest concern for Ka-Ka-Ka, stop buying Vijayakarnataka, stop buying the Times of India. They are out to destroy you column by column, news item by news item.

I think vijay sankeshwar made mistake by selling the "vijaya karnataka" to TOI.VK is most circulated news paper in karnataka. Vijay sankeshwar took this action because he is looking into bigger widespread buisiness. Atleast he could have sold it to kannadiga buisinessman, like Vijay malya. One hope is that VK is still being handled by Anand Sankeshwar.
