Media In India/elsewhere -3

[ravish]

.I beg to differ. Not only the print media but also the electronic media has given substantial coverage to the Rath Yatra. I have no information about the private TV Channels of South India, but up in the North there are a number of TV channels which are pro BJP.

Ms.Shaviti may be aware that BJP is quite a resourceful political outfit of India. It can finance any number of TV Channels and newspapers, just like other All India Political parties.I do agree that a number of supporters of the party are feeling uncomfortable with the present developments in Karnataka. Let us face the truth; corruption is not confined to any particular political party. It is today present in every sphere of public activity, of course with varying degree. So the anti corruption drive has to be directed against all, irrespective of party affiliation.

With regard to the in fights within the BJP, it is a known fact that there is ego clash between top leaders and this has given rise to groups and sub groups within the party. This aspect is nothing specific to the BJP; it is present in all political parties in different forms.

Of all parties the CPM lost the elections in West Bengal due to rampant corruption in its ranks. We Have to accept that power and corruption goes side by side.
