The secular media should actually be grateful to the BJP. I call upon the entire media spectrum to join hands and campaign for the BJP instead of falling behind the secular parties. If it’s already not obvious, here’s the reason: the “Saffron” party gives it the maximum revenue. These eminences haven’t had a single dull [...]
