The Andhra Pradesh wing of Bharatiya Janata Party, which has condemned the attack on fellow BJP leader took one more step ahead and decided to boycott the ABN Andhra Jyothy channel.

The AP BJP issued an official statement stating that the party will boycott the channel. The saffron party accused the ABN Andhra Jyothy channel of working as a Telugu Desam party pamphlet.

'The Andhra Pradesh state unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has decided to boycott ABN TV and Andhra Jyoti, which have been working as a Telugu Desam party pamphlet and in complete negation of media standards and moral values,' AP BJP's tweet reads.

The BJP party found fault with the ABN channel and termed the incident as shameful and accused the channel of allowing the TDP sympathiser to attack Vishnuvardhan Reddy during the debate.

From hereafter, the BJP will not take part in any of the debates in the channels. The official statement says the channel will also be not be called for the party press meets.
