Speaking of Motilal Vora, there is no need to introduce this veteran. He is the renowned politician belonging to theIndian National Congress party and has been the former chief minister of Madhya Pradesh. Being as renowned as Govind Lal Vora the epitome of journalism, Motilal Vora a veteran politician also had a place in people’s heart. This can be witnessed with the huge gatherings in their family functions and parties.

order to bring them in the limelight, media was always glued to them like a child glued to his favorite toy. During a family function, at the time when Govind Lal Vora was present, media captured Motilal and Govind Lal together. This was one of the rare moments when you see the two gems together. Such a satisfaction to the eyes!

But as you know, it is not easy to get rid of the media. The further you run away from it, the closer they get. Media has been surrounding celebrities and renowned personalities similar to a group of ants surrounding the sugar cubes. And it has always been a Diwali for the media when they get what they want. And in this case, it was the Voras.

Sometimes, we wonder if the media has got a genie for their wish to come true. How on the earth they get to know about the whereabouts of these people? We agree that they do have sources, but it is worth mulling over the thought about how extremely dependable these sources prove to be.

Having said this, from a news as small as a child guzzling down a 2 rupee coin to popular news such as IPL auction and election breaking news, media has got all of it covered. And the Voraji’s family members were not any exemption. And people always loved it, as far as it does not become a fake news for students and professionals.
