11 CMs target "Godi Media" with state run advertisements suspension

In a significant and coordinated move, the Chief Ministers of the INDIA Alliance, consisting of leaders from 11 states, have taken a bold step to suspend state-run advertisements on what they perceive as "propaganda channels." This decision follows their recent announcement of boycotting several news anchors, sparking controversy and debates across the nation.

The decision to cease state-sponsored advertisements on these channels, often derogatorily referred to as "Godi Media" by the Opposition, is poised to inflict a considerable financial setback on specific media organizations. This move underscores the growing rift between political leaders and certain media outlets.

The INDIA Alliance comprises Chief Ministers from Delhi, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, West Bengal, and Jharkhand, all actively engaged in the plan to discontinue advertising on these particular TV channels.

The media committee of the alliance has taken a stance against these journalists, resolving not to participate in their programs or debates hosted on such channels.
