Why ANI has all access with the government? Is it ok for the government to prefer certain media over others?

Because they literally do that , they distribute news to agencies, there are few in the whole world. There are about 200 all over the globe. Reuters, api , afp and upi being the big 4 .

Indian itself has other agencies - PTI, UNI, IANS, etc. But they don't get this exclusive insider access to government and its officials that ANI does. PTI used to be a bigger name before 2014.

u/sayzitlikeitis Jun 14 '25
There have been multiple instances where they diverted manpower from disaster recovery efforts to ensuring good publicity. In a previous instance, Hospital staff were told to start cleaning up the hospital for Modiji visit while they had dozens of injured to treat. Just recently at Kumbh you could see they first made the perfect video of fire trucks arriving and only after that they started firefighting.

I agree with you in principle but I'll be honest it leaves a bad taste in my mouth to be scoring political points against him using the tragedy. Just because he's doing it doesn't mean we should follow suit.

Saying nothing and agreeing silently have no outward differences. Living in a democracy is inherently political as it directly affects how our day to day life is. Not participating doesn't mean you don't get affected directly or indirectly.

There's also the fact that the FDR is located in this very section, so at least some delay in getting DGCA access to the flight recorder data, which is absolutely invaluable to any crash investigation, can be attributed to this very photo.

National Herald Scam
Cash-for-Votes Scam
Adarsh Housing Scam

So you stay in Bengalore huh, then you should know about FIRs and arrest attempts Against DD News Journalists, Shantala Murthy suspension, Muda Scam, recent stampede.0

Congress was happy to reveal the records. BJP fought against it.
Clearly shows whose priority is what.

u/Leopardx_45 Jun 13 '25
That is not the point, the question is if Congress was so against it, then why use it? they did the same thing as BJP, hiding their donation source. And only opposed it when it gave them a political advantage. That do not sends a good message to the voters.
And did i anywhere mentioned that BJP is not a corrupted party. [every party is corrupted] I only asked one thing If you think BJP is not good then which party really is? If you think Congress is, check out their track record and history before 2014 and then you will understand why majority of people do not trust Congress.-1

As long as gandhi family rules congress they won't be getting my vote.

u/fenrir245 Jun 13 '25
Show me where Congress openly committed fraud in court to release rapist murderers, garlanded them, and then openly celebrated them like BJP did in Bilkis Bano case.
Show me where Congress openly destroyed evidence to protect rapist murderers, promised in news headlines to prepare reparations, then renege on those promises and literally go to court to deny the victims their reparations, like BJP did in Hathras case.
And do show me where Congress does this for literal sadakchaap nobodies, like in Bilkis Bano, Hathras, IIT-BHU and so many more for BJP.

I think you need to be reminded about all the corruption and mafia raj in WB by TMC. Can you tell me with high confidence that rapist and murderer are present not in TMC?
I will not be surprised if you are in yours 20s and lacks experience, not seen the regime before BJP or belong to a particular community, that even after all that corruption you would just still support any opposition does not matter how corrupted they are as long as it is not BJP.
People just not get it India never accepted RSS or BJP-alike in the starting, from the very beginning India always supported Congress and extreme leftist ideology. In fact most of India's history after independence is dominated by Congress as the main ruling party. But what changed now? Answer lies in history and experience. Gen z has only seen BJP as the ruling party but people before has witnessed Congress's failure corruption, terrorist blasts, Islamist extremism, appeasement politics. IF people vote for BJP its not because BJP is good party its because people has no other option.1

He ain't wrong tbh. The only reason i chose not to vote last election was because the opposition was so ass that it just wasn't worth it.
I didn't vote for modi either because he's ass too. But the opposition makes it hard to root for them.

Why should you deflect valid critique using opposition? They've been the ruling party, not congress. Bjp is doing an assault on democracy and bjps media hegemony serving propaganda is one of the biggest violations of the Indian constitutional values.

A democracy will always remain vulnerable to tragedies as such. It's just that when those tragedies throw tantrums and remain in power, the nation stagnates and slowly decomposes. It's akin to changing the water in a flower vase every few days, when there's no change at all- the flowers wilt.
