paid-Hindustan-Times-Delhi-HINDI , which is read by Congress voters, gives 5 times wider coverage to AAP-sting compared paid-Hindustan-Times-Delhi-ENGLISH which is read by NaMo-voters. IOW, reputation of AAP will fall in the eyes of Congress voters , while remain preserved in the eyes of BJP voters
Pls see Hindustan Times Delhi 23-nov-2013 epaper HINDI , and also English of same date . see the links in the first comment of the post.
In Hindi-HT, the front page TOP heading has (0.25 page tall * 5 column wide) anti-AAP news with cartoon of Arvindbhai. The news gives impression that AAP candidates got caught in sting operation and were dirty. So the Hindi-HT reader will become more anti-AAP
In English-HT, the front page is all advertisement. The 2nd page is also all advt !!! And 3rd page is over 50% advt. The AAP sting news are on 3rd page, but NOT on top banner line. They are only (3 column wide * 1/8 page tall) , in the bottom half of the page, and has NO picture at all. And headline says "AAP says CD doctored" . IOW, the English-HT reader will become far less anti-AAP
Why is paid-HT behaving like this?
Because
1. paid-HT-English goes in upper-middle-class and middle-class voters who are NaMo-voters. So in their eyes, paid-HT wants positive or least possible negative image of AAP
2. paid-HT-Hindi goes in lower-middle-class voters who are Congress-voters. So in their eyes, paid-HT wants most-possible negative image of AAP
Now question is why would anyone pay HT to write news like this? Well, the goal is clear. They want to create a threat against NaMo.
So in march-2014, the sponsors of Arvindbhai, namely MNC-owners and Missionaries, will ask NaMo to give MP-tockets to pro-MNC, pro-Missionary candidates. If NaMo agrees , then sponsors will downplay Arvindbhai, or many even ask Arvindbhai to join NaMo. And if NaMo insists on giving MP-tickets to Hinduvaadi/Nationalists, then they will use Arvindbhai to cut NaMo votes in FULL force.
Solution :
The activists should expose that Arvindbhai is fraud. How? By telling FACTS such as Arvindbhai opposed the proposal to print Right to recall Delhi Mayor draft in Delhi Assembly elections, Arvindbhai supports Bangladeshies, etc etc. As more activists know about Arvindbhai, they will lose faith in him. Thats the ONLY way I can think of.
