After the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh in 2014, the Telangana Government stopped his channel for a certain period of time. Because of this, Radhakrishna took legal action against the Telangana government for banning his channel. He took the matter to both the High Court and the Supreme Court. After a few months, the Telangana Government ended the ban on the ABN Channel. Both sides agreed to make up, and the Telangana Government started to give ads to the ABN Group again. [5]
