ABN son-in-law’s ‘own house’ tweet sparks talk, then clarification
ABN Radha Krishna’s son-in-law Koganti Bhanu Prakash’s viral “own house” tweet on media sparked speculation amid board changes; he later clarified it was misread.
Hyderabad, October 26, 2026: A cryptic post on X by Koganti Bhanu Prakash, son-in-law of Vemuri Radha Krishna, has triggered intense speculation about internal dynamics at the ABN Andhra Jyothi group before he issued a clarification denying that the message targeted his own organisation.
Bhanu Prakash, who has served as a director at Aamoda Broadcasting Company Private Limited, posted on October 24 under the hashtag #OwnHouse:
The timing amplified the reaction. Recent board restructuring at Aamoda Broadcasting, effective around October 8–9, saw Radha Krishna shift from Managing Director to Chairman. His son Aditya Vemuri was appointed Managing Director and daughter Anusha Vemuri Joint Managing Director. In the same changes, Bhanu Prakash was dropped as a director and replaced by Chunduru Shruthi Keerthi.
Many interpreted the “own house” remark as an indirect reference to these family-led hierarchy shifts and to the media house’s own practices, given ABN’s history of aggressive coverage of political and personal affairs. Accounts across X amplified the post, framing it as a rare public signal of discontent within the organisation. Some commentary extended into unsubstantiated speculation about office-level disagreements, though the core facts remained the board changes and the tweet itself.
On October 25, Bhanu Prakash followed up with a clarifying post under #WeReportYouDecide.
The sequence briefly dominated regional social media discussion but produced no on-record response from Radha Krishna or the company beyond Bhanu Prakash’s own statements. The episode underscored how a single post can rapidly shape narratives around media ownership and family involvement in Telugu news organisations, even when the author later seeks to narrow its meaning.
