If Narendra Modi is always guilty by association, why not Ravish Kumar?

In this scathing blog post, Mediacrooks rightly says that if these journalists are constantly blaming Modi for whatever happens in the country, no matter where it happens, and no matter who is the culprit, just because a broad comparison can be drawn, by hook or by crook, why can’t, with a single yardstick that is more convincing, Ravish Kumar, the NDTV journalist, share the guilt of his brother, a Congress politician and also VP of Bihar Congress, who was caught running a sex racket? Why doesn’t Ravish Kumar run another “black screen" program to protest against the sexual perversion of his brother? Why isn’t he shameful enough to decry the conduct of his brother who was sexually exploiting girls?

Mediacrooks writes:

Coward Vemula commits suicide – Modi is responsible! Modi destroyed democracy! Periyar crap in IIT Madras – Modi is responsible! Dadri incident – Modi is responsible! Modi has created a climate of intolerance! Muzaffarnagar riots? Happened because Modi was campaigning! JNU Anti-nationals on fire defending terrorists – Modi is throttling free speech! Some Gaurakshaks get violent – Modi is responsible! Some Dalits get beaten in a fracas – Modi is responsible! And they scream Dalits under attack! Any Hindu or fringe element commits a crime – Modi is responsible! For all the events Modi is in no way connected to – he is responsible. Some stray attack on a church – Modi is responsible. Some nun raped in Bengal – Modi is responsible! But Ravish, sex-racket in your own direct family, – You are responsible for nothing? I refuse to believe Ravish was not aware of his brother’s businesses and chose NOT TO REPORT. I am entitled to that suspicion.

And then these so-called journalists complain that these days people don’t trust them.

When it comes to being blatantly shameless, Sonia Gandhi and family take the cake

Amethi and Raebareli are among the most backward and the least developed areas in India and they are called the "bastions" of the Nehru-Gandhi family. It’s quite puzzling that when even people like Azam Khan and Mulayam Singh Yadav can keep their constituencies well cared for, what sort of enmity and grudge does the Nehru-Gandhi the family hold against Amethi and Raebareli?

Due to health reasons or something else, Sonia Gandhi couldn’t campaign in these godforsaken constituencies, so she has graced her “voters” with a letter. In her royal letter, she has written that despite her intense desire, she cannot be physically present to ask for another chance to suck the blood out of the hapless people of Amethi and Raebareli. She asked people to treat her letter as her “personal” letter. To rub salt on the wounds of the people, in the letter she asserts, “Raebareli and Amethi have become an integral part of our lives.”

Interestingly, according to this First Post link, even Priyanka Gandhi seems to have fled. Maybe finally the family is realizing that people can see through their fair skin and family name and may attack them physically if they ask for votes.
