    Money Power, fake news round the clock, drugs supply and what not, to remain in power without any remarkable performance. Saying is loud and clear that these industrialists have full pledged support to non performing leaders where they are not bothered about the country and people than just look forward to mint money as much as possible.

    With NDTV rechristened as ANDTV with Adani's takeover the TRP of this media is likely to crash as the main role will be to project "HIS MASTERS VOICE - HMV". The voice of a free and fair media is chocked forever.
