Congress ad takes aim at 'godi media' with spoof on Arnab Goswami
New Delhi: In a recent advertisement, the Congress party has launched a scathing critique of certain sections of the mainstream media, particularly targeting Republic TV's chief, Arnab Goswami. The ad features a parody of Goswami's primetime show, where he is depicted lavishing praise on the government while seated alongside two politicians. However, as the camera pulls back at the end of the "broadcast," Goswami is revealed to be sitting on the laps of these politicians.
The ad concludes with a poignant voiceover declaring, "Agar media Godi mein baithi rahi, na samvidhan rahega, na loktantra" (If the media continues to remain subservient, there will be neither constitution nor democracy).
Additionally, the ad humorously references a widely mocked BJP advertisement where a woman credits Prime Minister Narendra Modi for purportedly halting the Ukraine-Russia war. This jab at the media extends to its coverage of government actions, particularly regarding issues such as rising prices.
The anchor in the spoofed segment exaggerates claims about the government's achievements, stating absurdities like the prices of fuel plummeting to the extent that they're being used instead of water. Such satire underscores the perceived bias of certain media outlets towards the ruling party.
Moreover, the ad highlights a Newslaundry survey, which revealed a significant skew in the topics and stances covered by primetime debates. Goswami's show, for instance, reportedly hosted a majority of debates favouring the government.

Found unconscious with mother’s corpse three days after death, mentally ill woman dies in hospital
Udupi: A heartbreaking incident in Gopadi village, Kundapur taluk, Udupi district has exposed the vulnerability of families dealing with elderly parents and dependent children suffering from mental health issues.
On Thursday night, neighbours discovered a foul stench emanating from a house in Gopadi village. Concerned about the well-being of the residents, they attempted to contact Jayanthi Shetty, a 62-year-old woman living alone there with her 32-year-old daughter, Pragathi Shetty. However, the calls went unanswered, and they informed the police.
When the police arrived and forced open the door, they made a grim discovery.
Jayanthi Shetty had passed away three days earlier and was lying lifeless in her home.
Beside her, Pragathi Shetty, who suffers from mental illness, was found unconscious. She had spent those three days lying next to her deceased mother.
Jayanthi Shetty battled diabetes and blood pressure issues, while her daughter Pragathi also struggled with diabetes.
Pragathi’s condition had deteriorated to the point where one of her legs had been amputated months ago. The lack of proper care and support likely exacerbated her mental health condition.
Pragathi Shetty was given water to drink and immediately rushed to the hospital. Despite efforts to save her, she tragically passed away on Saturday.
A case has been registered at Kundapur police station.
Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding Jayanthi Shetty’s death and Pragathi’s suffering.
