Political Ads in Newspaper have become quite common. Particularly, Full Page Advertisements can be seen at the time of elections. An Ad issued by BJP in an English Daily in Bengaluru just days ahead of the Assembly Polls has eventually benefitted other Parties.
Under the heading 'Vote For Change - Vote For BJP', There was a sub-heading - '37 Percent Candidates Face Criminal Charges: Study'.
The Article highlights 28 percent of the candidates in fray for Karnataka Assembly Polls face criminal charges. While BJP stood at top position with 83 candidates, Congress and JD (S) are at 2nd (59 candidates) and 3rd (41 candidates) positions.
What happened with this Ad is a lesson for Political Parties and Media. Huge price has to be paid for negligence!
