While very few big newspapers in New Delhi carried ads on Indira Gandhi on Friday, many had ads celebrating Sardar Patel's birth anniversary

Indira Gandhi was conspicuous by her absence from government advertisements in major newspapers in New Delhi on Friday, if one excluded the few ads issued by the Congress. In contrast, the Union and Delhi governments and the police published colourful notices celebrating Sardar Patel's birth anniversary. Business Standard presents a comparative study between the ads on October 31 this and last year:
