I moved to India in 2002 from the US and reviewed a few newspapers before choosing Indian Express as my choice. I have never regretted this till recently.
To me Indian Express stands for courage. But its pained me that they have almost blanked coverage for Shri Arun Bhatia who is without doubt a good candidate. He had secured over 60, 000 votes in the last elections in 2004 and is expected by all to get many more votes this time.
Punenewsline has in such an obvious manner not covered him at all. This makes me suspect if there is more than what meets the eye. What could be the reason for this?
Here is an article on Arun Bhatia which Indian Express carried which shows the feeling Puneites have for him-

The educated class identify with him as he stands for honesty. There are not many constituencies in India which have an honest candidate who we know will work for them. And yet this is the treatment Indian Express gives to him?
I am sorry to say this but I am very disappointed by Indian Express Pune Edition.
In their coverage they have been favoring one particular candidate. What could be the reason- it seems very suspicious.
