New category in PadmaShri

I heard that Congress has given a secret commitment to Indian Media that if it comes back to the power, it will start a new Category in PadmaShri.

This category will be called "Exemplary Service to Congress Party in the field of Journalism".

It has been reported that Congress has told media persons they have already given various Padma Shri awards to various media Persons disguised in the form of other fields.
To quote some examples they reported the following cases:

* Barkha Dutt getting Padma Shri in year 2008, a year before election year.

* Rajdeep Sardesai getting Padma Shri in 2007.

* Shobhana Bhartia getting Padma Shri in 2005 as soon as UPA came to power. That too for journalism though she is just a Businesswoman owning Hindustan Times Group. It's like giving Vijay Mallaya the Best Cricketer award, since his team of "Royal Challengers Bangalore" was Runner up in IPL-2.

* In 2007, Teesta Seetalwad was awarded the PadmaShri by the Government of India.

It has been reported that Media is quite convinced with these promises and has started campaigning in favour of Congress Party.
