Gandhi-torials

I fail to understand the fairness in printing half page advertisements in newspapers on the birth/death anniversaries of the Gandhi families! Why do all government departments spend so much money to venerate the Gandhi scions as if trying to outrace the other by placing a bigger better positioned advertisement (on the taxpayers money of course). It seems as if they are all marking their attendance by doing so and the minister who's department  failed to put an ad would be reprimended by the Gandhi boss. And if one has to pay homage to our ex-prime ministers, then why just Indira or Rajiv (ironically not even Nehru makes it to the list)? What about the rest of the Prime ministers, are they not worthy of homage? Just who makes this list? O right, that Mrs. S Gandhi.!
