BJP's Malviya Accuses Congress Of Poll Guidelines Violation As Dainik Bhaskar's 'Impact Feature' Claims Wave In Rajasthan


Dainik Bhaskar's Jaipur edition dated 20 November featured 'Rajasthan me Congress ki lahar' (Congress wave in Rajasthan) as its main headline just below the daily's title, a mere five days ahead of the assembly elections scheduled for 25 November.

However, it had 'impact feature' written in a small font in the corner. Impact feature is a terminology used by media houses to showcase sponsored news, without making it look like an advertisement upfront.


He also targeted the Hindi daily saying, "But what is Dainik Bhaskar’s compulsion to oblige?" to Congress and expressed hope that "people of Rajasthan will slap the Congress out of power."

Notably, politically aware people have often accused Dainik Bhaskar of favouring Congress. The Hindi daily had also faced Income Tax raids earlier.
