Early days
As with any other publication, Eenadu too had its share of struggles. When launched in
Vishakapatnam , it wasn't able to sell more than 3,000 copies a week. Eenadu found itself struggling to become a daily publication ranked amongst other popular rival publications.By
1975 , Eenadu managed to achieve its target of becoming a daily publication. However, it was popular in regions and rivalry was still an issue. In a period where the company needed vision to drive and expand it any further. Eenadu hired a new set of directors to be part of its key decision and management group which drove it towards what it is today.Present
Though Eenadu has brought in lot of changes in telugu media and its functioning, it is accused of being anti-congress and credited to have piloted TDP to attain power in Andhra Pradesh in 1984.
Eenadu is often accused by current chief minister Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy for its pro-TDP stance.YSR son Jagan launched a newspaper against Eenadu.In spite of all allegations Eenadu still remains the numero Uno daily news paper in Andhra pradesh.
In Andhra usually all newspapers are biased.While Deccan Chronicle,Asian Age,Sakshi,Andhra Bhoomi,Vaarta and Andhra Prabha favor Congress other newspapers like Eenadu,Andhra Jyothy etc favor non congress parties.
