Mayawatis Shoe is Bad; Rahuls Shoe is Good

This morning India woke up to even bigger scam.; If 2G Scam was worth 1.74 Lakh Crores. The new S Band scam is worth 2 Lakh Crores. But amid all these major issues, it seems that the only news media is reporting today is how Personal Security Officer (PSO) of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati's cleaned her shoes

NDTV in their News reports Watch: Maya Memsaab ignores shoe-cleaning

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati's Personal Security Officer (PSO) went beyond his call of duty as he, believe it or not, cleaned the Chief Minister's shoes when they got too dusty. But Maya Memsaab ignored him

Times of India in their article report Security guard bends down to clean Mayawati's shoes, opposition slams CM

A personal security officer of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati touched a new low when he bent down to wipe her dusty shoes with his handkerchief during her visit to the district. The incident took place on Sunday when Mayawati was visiting Naunipur village in the district.
On noticing her dusty shoes after alighting from a chopper, PSO Padam Singh, who has been working with her for long and was close to BSP founder Kanshi Ram, started cleaning her shoes.

Its ironical that, congress also condemned the incident

"Getting shoes wiped by a government official is wrong and the security personnel should not have done such an act for the sake of self-respect,

IBN also reported the news . Atleast IBN was not as melodramatic as NDTV and TOI

Media Watch would like to remind Media about almost a similar incident which happened a year back in which Maharashtra’s minister of state for Home Ramesh Vagve took care of Rahul Gandhi’s pair of white coloured Reebok shoes, as the latter walked up to pay floral tributes at the foot of Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar statute near Ramabai Nagar in Ghatkopar, Mumbai. As Rahul tried to untie his shoe laces, Minister of state for Home Ramesh Vagve jumped in, untied the shoe laces, and took care of the pair of shoes till the floral tributes were over. As Rahul returned to wear his shoes, the minister offered him his shoes and helped him in tying the shoe laces. Rahul then proceeded to attend the Dalit Youths meeting in Ramabai Nagar. This inclident happened in full view of Media, Chief Minister Ashok Chavan, MP Gurudas Kamath, Kripa Shankar Singh and other Congress leaders.

When asked the Minister said he had picked up the Congress General Secretary’s shoes in apprehension that someone might place a bomb inside it.

“Some parties, especially the Shiv Sena, raised a hue and cry because I held Rahul's shoes. Imagine what would have happened if someone had placed a bomb in them.”

Also,

“I also wanted to ensure the shoes were not pushed towards the statue of Ambedkar, who is our deity.”

Media Watch didnot see hysterical media condemning the incident and covering it for an entire day. Or does media think Rahuls shoe is better than Mayawatis?

Neither did congress condemn the incident!

This is the only picture we could locate
