Yesterday, ABP news showed a survey in which the channel was seen claiming Kejriwal's party AAP is running ahead of all other parties in coming 2014 general election. Although, when it comes to demonize Narendra Modi, all channels use to give competition to each other, nothing is new in this. They do not care their own credibility, they do not care reality, they do not mind misreading something so clear, they do not take steps back in forcing people think what they want them to think, and therefore they became a main source of peddling lie, spreading rumor, and forcing people to act in the way they want. It's their dangerous business even in the country like India where democracy is deeply rooted in the blood of the people. It is a matter of deep concerned when the general election 2014 will be conducted just after few months from now.
This time India is observing a new phenomenon in terms of how election is fought. On one side, it's BJP, nay it's Narendra Modi, on the other side Rahul Gandhi led Congress and Arvind Kejriwal led Aam Admi Party (AAP). When Congress and Media jokers show Rahul Gandhi led Congress is miserably defeated in all four Assembly Elections held in four states, Rajsthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhatisgarh, and Delhi. Election was also held in Mizoram, but since it is always held by Congress and there is no other significant party, so there is no point to count it. In Rajsthan, it would not be wrong if you say Congress was massacred by BJP. Still no attention and credit was given to either Narendra Modi or BJP by media. Even they questioned Narendra Modi as well as BJP. They kept flashing "whether Narendra Modi's magic was there or not", "BJP won by 4-0 or Congress lost it by 0-4?", many such absurd line kept flashing as BREAKING NEWS. In Delhi BJP was the largest party by winning 32 seats followed by AAP, 28, and Congress ended up at 8 seats. These media moron understood there is no point in advertising Rahul and Congress now, anyway they are not going to stop the march of Narendra Modi from Gandhinagar to Delhi. Since that night media and all intellectual liberal dumped Congress and started bating for Arvind Kejriwal. AAP has been given round the clock coverage by all channels unreasonably. AAP does drama on daily basis and media give it coverage round the clock. Media is projecting AAP like a Holy River Ganga where you become honest and clean merely by joining them. Otherwise, all are corrupt and Chor (thief). For many, today Ganga is also contaminated but not AAP!
To justify themselves and mislead people in wrong direction, they discovered survey as an instrument. Today, it is becoming more and more clear that screaming of issues is more important than the issue itself. For example, Tejpal was a guard to protect woman right, human right, and what not, until his rape was revealed, may be much late. Media keep repeating that they are neutral while evidence and their credibility say otherwise. Congress keeps repeating they are for poor and against corruption while their track record narrates different story. Communist kept repeating they want social equality and stands for poor, but they could not help either in West Bengal or anywhere in the world. Now here comes yet another group who say "I am honest everyone else is Chor". Their supporters think here came a Shaktiman to remove corruption. It's another story that Kejriwal is not even Mukesh Khanna. Here my subject is different so I will not go to discuss this matter. And media is their (probably) untold agent who cover them day and night non-stop. It is not because they love Arvind Kejriwal, it's because they hate Narendra Modi. They think Kejriwal is their last weapon to stop Narendra Modi, they would not mind even if Indian Muzahiddin (IM) stops him. This is the hate Commie media has and nurture it for Narendra Modi.
Coming to the survey, ABP News did a survey in which they asked "will you vote AAP in 2014?". Respondents were given three options: (1) Yes, (2) No, and (3) Depend on the candidate. As in the above figure, 44% of the respondent said Yes. Here, how you can conclude that Kejriwal's party is ahead from all parties? From the poster neither Narendra Modi nor any party is a part of subject, but their conclusion, claim and flash are drastically misleading and an "intellectual prostitution". You can see in the above figure Arvind Kejriwal is surrounded by Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi. Question comes what is the point of putting Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi on both side of Arvind Kejriwal while there subject is altogether different? It is completely misleading people in such crucial time of general election! It's making illiterate people fool who do not know A B C D of the survey do not see such thing so minutely. This picture is going viral on social media like Facebook, and I saw it on a page Arvind Kejriwal for PM Facebook page!
Conclusions of any survey depend on (1) What you asked (2) Whom you asked (3) What was your sample size (4) Whether your sample size is representative for the population you are concluding (4) What was your method of sampling (5) What were your methods/methodologies for analysis. Since here descriptive statistics is presented so 5th point is not important. But all other points must be justified. Here not a single point is justified! Even conclusion is not matching with the question asked! Therefore, this survey and ABP News are worthy for a dustbin nothing less than that. Honestly, speaking it's a crime. For this ABP News should be slapped by Rs. 1000 Crores or shut their business and hate monger shop. It's a height of corruption and misleading!
It's complete unethical advertisement of AAP by media particularly ABP News here for misleading and fooling people.
Now look at upper right hand side of the picture. Question asked was "how many seats AAP will win in 2014?". Options given were (1) 0-25, (2) 26-50, (3) 51-100, (4) Above 100, (5) Majority (wow). Does this question make any sense, as far as number of seats in future is concerned? How an individual can answer this question? Even though they answer out of nothing, it will be an opinion, how can you conclude anything meaningful out of it which will be significant in future? Is it made purely to create an artificial hype around Mr. Kejriwal to damage Mr. Modi's number of seats? This is just a mind-wash for people who generally do not go in the background of result questioning where and how this result came? A person supporting AAP will always chose an option from upwards like option 5 and 4 without any justification. Another person not liking AAP will always chose an option from downward such as 1 and 2 without any justification. On the basis of this typical opinion, how you can say how many seats AAP will win? So what's your result? Result is noise without any justification! This question is totally rubbish and its answer can not held any meaning, and it's meaningless to flash as BREAKING NEWS.
Only one, if at all, conclusion can be drawn that ABP News is desperate to see defeat of Narendra Modi led BJP. It also shows the channel is unethical, has no knowledge of doing survey, or they are paid or they are forced to bat for Kejriwal to stop Narendra Modi. As a news channel, it's a shame on ABP News in a democratic country like India. However, I am sure they will fail in their dirty mission. WE CAN, WE WILL DO.
