Media's bias...

It occurs to me that it is the national media that is worrying more about UP not having a cabinet berth than the people of the state themselves. UP sends 21 cong. MPs to the loksabha an increase of over 100% from 2004.

But what startles me is the fact that the same media leaves out Andhra which sends the largest contingent of cong, MPs to the Loksabha, just as in 2004, and at 33 it sends 4 more than it did last time. Yet there is only one cabinet minister representing the state with four ministers of state.

The cong. high command seems to be taking the people of that state for granteed. I call this shabby treatment. And yet nobody from the national media seem to bother because probably it is not a state from the north.
