Hats-Off To Jagan’s Business Mind!
By boosting revenue and paper sales, this will directly benefit Jagan-owned sakshi paper. The ap government provides 2.61 lakh volunteers from villages and wards with a monthly newspaper allowance of roughly Rs 5.22 crore. The government gives each volunteer Rs 200 to spend on newspapers. This also applies to the staff members of the ward and village secretariats. From december 22 to march 23, this will cost the public coffers Rs. 10.45 crore. The government has allocated funds for the next four months.
Government advertising costing the public exchequer crores of rupees and published in sakshi newspaper have already sparked criticism. The opposition parties have been quite critical of the most recent requirement to purchase sakshi paper and burn public funds.
