Media Bias ..

Recently Mr Nitin Gadkari visited a Dalit home and had lunch there.
We started seeing reports like he is copying Rahul Gandhi, BJP is desperate to woo votebank etc etc. News channels had discussion about Rahul factor and BJP/Gadkari factor....blah blah blah
The tents being used in the meeting in Indore, as an austerity measure, were also discused with sarcasm. When congress started it, it was AUSTERITY DRIVE and when BJP does it its a natak?
I always wonder why there is a change in approach in media reporting, when it comes to BJP .
In hindi slang, there is a proverb...tum kare to chamtkaar, hum kare to balatkaar??!!!(Pls dont think this as my insensitivity towards serious crime like rape)
Something similar is the case with media's approach toward BJP. Rahul(Congress) kare to chamtkar and BJP(Gadkari) kare to balatkaar....
When Rahul visits Dalits or travells in a local, its a great news and he is very natural doing that.
But when Gakari visits dalit home or a Ram Naik (ex railway minister) travells in a local train (in peak hours, in second class) its not a news and if it at all is a news, its a desperate attempt to revive the party image.
Why didnt media feel that Rahul is desperately wooing dalits when he visited dalit homes ????
Why report same incidents with a perspective?? What is Rahul's contribution to this country?What are his credntials?
Is it being a GANDHI??Being goodlooking?? Being Fluent in english??foreign education???Popular in girls??? I dont see any other qualifications in RAHUL "THE" GANDHI
On the other hand Gadkari comes from a non political family.
He started from a karyakarta rank. And now he is President because of his work.
He is the man responsible for the first expressway that INDIA has seen. He also is an architectof about 50 flyovers in Mumbai within period of five years.
He has a sugar factory which also generates electricty but maharashtra govt doesnt want to buy that due to political reasons.
With all this, how Rahul and Gadkari can be compared?
My earnest request to media, pls be fare with everybody. Atleast dont be unfare with BJP.
Afterall they are ruling in many states. Almost all their chief ministers are among the best in country.(surveys have proven that).
I am not a Gadkari fan or a BJP/RSS worker. I am a simple INDIAN working professional staying in bangalore. I do have my political inclinations (the way media has). I only wanted to convey that media completely seems to be biased against BJP/RSS. And wanted to share my thaughts on that. Thats it.
PS: This was for all Arnab Goswamis and Rajdeep Sardesais and Shekhar Guptas and some real funny news anchors from AAJ TAK/HT family. May god give you and your new houses, a sense of right and wrong.
