Union Minister of State for Human Resources Development Daggubati Purandeswari, who was in the news last month for spreading a negative campaign against Kadapa MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, was back in the media on Friday for being awarded doctorate degree by the Padmavathi Mahila University in Tirupati. The doctorate degree was presented by the Andhra Pradesh governor E S L Narasimhan.
What is more interesting is that she made the media richer by several thousand rupees. Suddenly all the newspapers carried huge advertisements issued by various educational institutons and even her family members, eulogizing her great contribution to the nation and the state. Several corporate colleges like Narayana and Chaitanya issued big advertisements not only in the print media, but also in the electronic media, praising her. Not only that, the doctorate degree presentation ceremony was telecast by several channels, of course at a price.
One wonders whether this publicity stunt was a precursor to her attempts to get into the hot seat in the state sooner or later. And Purandareshwari had already made it clear that she was not averse to becoming the chief minister!
