Belthangady: A video in which former MLA Vasanth Bangera has reportedly called media houses ‘sell-outs’ and also that Prime Minsiter Narendra Modi would ‘sell’ the nation if he continues to be in power has gone viral. The incident happened during his interaction with reporters at Charmadi Ghat on June 14^th.

“I respected media a lot. But, that is not the case anymore. Media houses have lost their respect along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Press and television media has been sold to PM Modi,” he said angrily.

“I do not want publicity. Reporters who show the right way to society are respected. You guys have to correct thieves and politicians like me. And that is media’s responsibility. But I want to tell everyone that media houses have been ‘sold’ in the country. Modi must be the prime minister, but this work of keeping media under control does not suit him. If he continues to be in power, he will definitely sell the country. Democracy is being destroyed in the nation,” said Bangera.
