When I open up Vir Sanghvi’s blog on the Hindustan
Times, I tend to personally have a denial to read it from the alleged
involvement of Vir in the 2G Spectrum. However, as I move past the premature
block, I remember, he used to be my dad’s favourite though I again feel that
his access to luxurious food and couture gifts was too flamboyant. His articles
have a lot of I’s – “I have heard”, “I think” or “I don’t”. Some statements
lose support as they tend to be based on rumors which he quotes. So certain
sections tend to look like a report of rumours. For example, “ I have heard Congress leaders say that voter
fatigue has set in and that the people of Gujarat are getting fed up of Modi. I
have also heard it said that Keshubhai will take away Patel votes and will act
as a spoiler in many constituencies.” The article is infused and spaced with
personal perspectives and sentiments. It gives the idea of a conversation with
a friend rather than an editorial to the public.Check out the blog here
