I am very surprised at this statement. I thought the media in Goa, unlike other parts in India, is quite unbiased. It is definitely not the function of the media to be biased towards any one side, either the BJP or the Congress. Of course, if anyone does something positve, it should be applauded, even highlighted to serve as a role model for others. But if anyone does try to harm the society, irrespective of which party or political ideology he belongs to, the media must come down heavily against him.
So, if the BJP's points are to be highlighted in a positive way, it should happen not because it has influence over the media, but because the points have merit in them.
