Suspicion your blanking out coverage for a good candidate for Pune Lok Sabha elections 2009
I moved to India in 2002 from the US and reviewed a few newspapers before choosing Indian Express as my choice. I have never regretted this till recently.

To me Indian Express stands for courage. But its pained me that they have almost blanked coverage for Shri Arun Bhatia who is without doubt a good candidate. He had secured over 60, 000 votes in the last elections in 2004 and is expected by all to get many more votes this time.

Punenewsline has in such an obvious manner not covered him at all. This makes me suspect if there is more than what meets the eye. What could be the reason for this?

Here is an article on Arun Bhatia which Indian Express carried which shows the feeling Puneites have for him-
http://www.indianexpress.com/ie/daily/19990604/ige04031.html

The educated class identify with him as he stands for honesty. There are not many constituencies in India which have an honest candidate who we know will work for them. And yet this is the treatment Indian Express gives to him?

I am sorry to say this but I am very disappointed by Indian Express Pune Edition.

In their coverage they have been favoring one particular candidate. What could be the reason- it seems very suspicious.

Talking about the obvious, a suspicion that media is inclined to rich and influential and that it is seen to take a calculated and token step in reporting news or two, that concern us all most, has been over the years confirmed our views that ethical reporting long over. If we were to compare the worst amongst the already bad, how useful is ethical reporting going to be if it does not get the right impetus.

Much is being promised and resolved by sections of our constitutional pillar, the media, and lesser is found to be going through. Pune is turning out to be far more corrupt than Delhi, and with each day, this is on the rise. I learnt that the media has been ignoring coverage and reporting in certain areas and when it comes to certain people and their interest/ involvement, the media shys away.

Hadapsar has had for once an organised and planned society, or so it seemed. The builder, a regular defaulter, Mantri. The society, Indraprastha. There seems to be Poonawala Group interested in the mindless BUY OUT of areas of this society, or the developer and builder, Mantri and his Partners, who have vanished with the money. The promoters had taken money for just everything as is required, but did not provide with these facilities since they diverted this money to new projects and this snowballed into debts and finally, it learnt that the money taken for payment of taxes year on ear, were actually never paid to Govt. More strangely, the Govt of Maharashtra without informing the residents of the society, was moving eviction proceedings for non-payment of taxes, without gicing any notice of any kind. If that is not clear corruption and outright dacoity, it is obviously harassing and causing expenditures in legal battles.

the Indian Express, by far the only news paper left today in the country amongst national newspapers, could do justice in exposing the govt and corporate officials to book. Just like in Delhi, there is an awareness group created in the RWAs and the stories are brought out to expose corrupt activities while also educating people, there is a need to start some planned activity under the ageies of IE. knowing Ritu Sarin, the IE gets a name of trust at Delhi, but Pune is yet to get stories of real substance and real news reporting. Looking at the absence of Bhatia or Bokey missing from the pages makes one wonder if IE too was lost to the rich and influential.
