In any election, TV coverage will be superficial in its character. It is it's nature is to run behind leaders. A Channel no longer investigates facts. Information will disappear for the sake of the balance . Neither does a channel check the facts given by Rahul Gandhi or his state government, nor does anyone examine the facts given by the prime minister or his party. The channels have just become a platform. Pay and use.
This format has been in it’s peak since many years. This is the reason why it is easy to manage the elections through TV. A reporter is only part of the statements. There are no reporters who run away. If anyone is tweeting the photo of laddoos, then some fish pickles. The Anchor's speeches resemble that of a cricket commentator, Modi has arrived and now they will give six.
At the time of the karnataka elections, there should be a review of what is the balance of the state's power and the power of the state in its channels and newspapers. In the kannada channels, which party has more ads, how wide is the disparity, it should be done with the election. Can anyone tell how many ads the BJP are running in kannada channels and how many the Congress?
How many times are the rallies being shown in the day? Is it Pm Modi, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's rally, Siddaramaiah's rally, is there any balance in the coverage of Yeddyurappa's rally? Now this game has been played with much preparation. We don't know which leader's statement is being debated with, On which angle the debate is being carried out in the channels. Surprisingly, no one tries to keep these things in front of the public by studying these things during the election.
Election rallies are now for TV. There are various kinds of programmes that come on TV. This is how the entire channel has been done, or they put it on Youtube or channels that think everything is going live. To understand these programs, no one has a team or initiative to write on them.
In democracy and especially during the elections, if all the parties were to be equal, it is not good to have a side with the power of wealth. Very easily can the media miss someone's statements or highlight someone's statements.
Yeddyurappa ji has said that if someone doesn't vote, then tie his hand and vote for the BJP candidate. Our election commission has also become lazy. In the elections, after deputing the para-Paramilitary forces, the commission takes off on a Malaysian holiday. When will they learn that media coverage and such statements should be taken during election at the time, not three years after the election has passed.

Bhopal, Nov 2: The Madhya Pradesh government will provide credit cards to those rearing cows and their progeny, similar to those available to farmers, to help manage the upkeep of cattle, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav announced on Saturday.
“Along with the people growing crops, credit cards will also be made available to those rearing cows and their progeny to enable them to manage expenses on their care,” Yadav said during the state-level ‘Govardhan Puja’ ceremony at Ravindra Bhawan here.
He said that people who care for more than 10 cows will be given special financial aid, adding that the state government will invest and make arrangements for rearing 5,000 to 10,000 cows under the limits of municipal Corporations.
He said that people found guilty of slaughtering cows in MP will get seven years of imprisonment.
Earlier, he took part in the Govardhan Puja at his official house.
Later in Gwalior, where he attended two such events, Yadav said the state would protect the cow and its offspring.
Ministers and MLAs across the state also participated in Govardhan Puja.
Before holding this function at the state level, the BJP government in MP had organised ‘Shastra Puja’ (worshipping of weapons) on Dussehra in a similar manner, with the CM, his ministers and MLAs across the state joining in.
