Hyderabad, Jan 10: The Telugu Desam has introduced web TV on its official website to disseminate information on the latest political developments in the State among Telugu NRIs living in 100 countries.
The TD leadership has already set up a TDP radio and seeing its growing popularity, it has now introduced web TV. Telugu Desam is perhaps the only political party in the country to have both web-based radio and television. The TDP TV is updated at frequent intervals for the benefit of Telugu-speaking people living outside the country. The TD claims that it has a large fan following among Telugu NRIs and the
web TV will bring the party closer to them.
Former chief minister and Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu, who has a penchant for electronic gizmos and hitech equipment, has ensured that the new web TV is not a costly affair. He has personally planned the concept of the web TV and is regularly monitoring its functioning.
Telugu Desam State party office staff record news bulletins from local TV channels and uplink them to the TD's web TV through YouTube. This is quite an easy task and does not involve any expenditure. To watch the web TV of the Telugu Desam, all one has to do is to visit the party website and click on the newslink. It takes the visitor to the YouTube for the latest political happenings in the State, including the policy decisions and programmes of the Telugu Desam.
All important events at TD State headquarters NTR Bhavan are also put on the web TV. Even Chandrababu Naidu's regular "Eruvaka" (farm visits) programmes in districts are also put on the web TV.
