Giving another reference which he got connected in his Judicial career when a Govt in Tripura allocated 75% of advertising budget to their own paper, it was contested. In that reference, he said we can’t dominate or influence the minds of the people. Government should be fair to all newspapers.

Media is the strong pillar of democracy. Referring to the current state of affairs, he said Media doesn’t empower people with correct information any longer. Even if they do, they do so with vested corporate interest which is a danger to democracy. And he added that India is the only country that doesn’t have a tradition of paying for information. Here Newspapers are sold for Rs 5 which is not possible in any other country. So newspapers depend on advertisements for their support, which is controlled by the corporate world and is doing great disservice to society. Information is power. RTI empowers public opinion, he added.

But, unfortunately, democracy is being diluted by running after the corporate world.
We must protect democracy, he concluded.
Dr Purushotham Reddy said Democracy is important in the difficult times we are living in. Giving an example of how democracy is made a laughing stock in Telangana, he cited nearly 290 contempt court cases pending against the chief secretary and other bureaucrats. But the Government is no perturbed,”
