Two phases of assembly elections are yet to be held and a week is left for final results to be out.But you've published composition of ministry to be formed by a particular political party with names of the ministers along with the ministry alloted to them.Not only that You've also mentioned the place where oath taking would take place.You're well aware such news item might influence at least a segment of electorate in some way or other and so you've made this story deliberately.You've been shamelessly brokering for a this political party for long giving a go-by to all moral values,decency and decorum, let alone ethics of journalism. Your today's performance has outstripped all your past.You've laid bare to what extent a news paper can stoop so low to sub serve the interest of a political party most probably for money and other benefits in days to come.In fact by doing so you're eroding the credibility of press and bringing media people to disrepute.Now a days paid news have out numbered genuine news items and and a section of media is supposed to be sponsoring this malpractice despite being reprimanded by press council.If things are allowed to drift this way future does not augur well for regional and particularly for vernacular press.
Thank you.
