Can anyone explain why the Gas Authority of India Ltd. would need to advertise at all? A few corporate TV spots would make sense from recruitment etc. point of view. But of all places, why Tehelka?Tehelka proudly wears the logos of its sponsors, Air India and GAIL on its home page.
Both are public sector undertakings. GAIL comes under Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas. Air India is under Ministry of Civil Aviation. Thus the tax payer indirectly ends up supporting a Congress mouthpiece.
Keep in mind that there are other ways Tehelka could potentially channel monies into its newspaper. They run several NGOs and they are blessed by our top politicians who frequently show up in the functions. Someone should fully audit this whole thing.
GAIL's mission statement is Gas and Beyond. You could say it fits Tehelka in way.
