Dear Editot, Why you single out one CM.Many senior leaders of all hues have paid their concern about Hydrabad blast. Why only Modi's every utterance is printed daily in one way or the othervto keep him on the first page of your paper. Why did you not print state CM's statement and condolences to bereaved families? Is it paid news?
