Bodhiji, maybe this will force Priyanka's entry into UP in next elections. She does have Indiraji's charisma. But ofcourse, its a gamble, INC can use Priyanka-card but what if that fails ? Also if she makes entry then what about Rahul baba ?
Re EC and media, now prob the situation is, Varun being barred from contesting will infact make him even more popular. My guess is they will most likely leave it at that.
Another interesting thing about visual media is, that a photo usually gets picked that evokes certain memories.. Somehow thats supposed to trigger a certain kind of feeling, train of thought and what not. In case of Godhra-Kand for eg gujju-media picked burnt S-6 while ELM picked muslim mans photo (one that has his hands folded - forgot his name). In tiananmen-square kand, its the protestor in front of tank. In case of Varun I have seen the foll in many places.

Maybe there are others too but I wonder what thoughts it triggers in various parts of India ? Which picture is used in UP papers ?
