Few weeks back when the India Shining campaign crept its way into the television media - there was an extreme hue and cry over it. Apparently, the multi-crore advertising gimmick went off-air, leaving the country impressed at the pressure media can put on politics.
And suddenly, they turn the tables once again. Now you can catch BJP ads focusing on a sari-clad woman questioning whether you have Ataljee in your heart. Congress ads show a woman fighting for her seat in the bus and concluding with the hum Congress ki saath hain slogan.
At this juncture, as the television-savvy parties battle it out, one only wishes one owned a television channel...

Sure, LimeIce TV! Yea, it gets kinda stupid when another lady says "main toh atalji ko hi vote dungi han". India shining, Feel Good, all makes me feel a lot worse. Now I've just stopped responding to all this. So no comment. Ignorance is bliss you know!! Bliss for me at least! ;)
