Poll talk


Newspaper sale perks
When elections are here can ‘aaya rams-gaya rams’ be far behind? But then politics make strange bedfellows. Sworn enemies can be hugging each other in no time. So, it is becoming impossible to keep track of leaders with most of them hopping parties overnight. Elections also unleash lot of ‘tu tu-main main’ with leaders trading charges.

Lesser mortals have nothing better than the daily newspaper to keep pace with the happenings.

No wonder sale of all newspapers have shot up. Whether candidates win or not their polemics are providing enough fodder for rumour mills.

With the media itself having an axe to grind, one is unable to sift fact from fiction. Naturally people are forced to buy more than one newspaper.
