Losers of the Bush's India Visit
The actual losers of President George Bush’s visit to India are not Bush baiters. Bush clearly stole the lime light from some who certainly deserved their due.
First victim is PC Chidambaram. The week following the budget is usually relished by PC as he is wanted by every media in India and even some of them abroad. Channels like CNBC had concluded panel discussions on last year’s budget only sometime in January. This budget, thanks to Mr.Bush and some thorns in the bush (the leftists who are protesting the Bush visit); I did not see PC much on television. We really missed PC’s sexy impeccable English, his pure white mundu and full arm white shirt and the delightful sight of him slamming some journalists who try to act smart in the press conference.
Second is the Chief Election Commissioner. The announcement of assembly election dates for 5 states is sometimes covered live by some channels. This is followed by a series of discussions on the voting pattern as the weather gets harsh by May when the polls are scheduled. You will have ‘intellectuals’ from JNU and India International Centre deliberating on the impact that summer vacations will have on the voting pattern. The less confident political parties will demand change in polling dates such that rahu and kethu are separated at an angle of 60 degrees as prescribed by their astrologer. We missed all the drama this time.
Third is Cricket. I do not know how much of cricket would have hogged the limelight. But certainly Bush has taken away at least a small piece of cake from cricket commentators (certainly from Sidhu and Shrikanth). It does not really matter for our Indian cricketers as they got an overdose of media attention last month after the series in Pakistan and the India-England series has just started.
Other losers are a few journalists of Times News and CNN IBN. This was the first budget they covered in the infancy of their channel. Correspondents skilled in state elections and economics must be execrating the timing of Bush’s visit.
