With the exit of talented Emon, Sony TV is denying rumours that there is
no rigging in Indian Idol Voting process.
Sony Entertainment Television is strongly denying the rumours going
around that there is some rigging going in Indian Idol voting process. An
offical source said, "We have a reputed third
party organization which audits the voting process, which is very fair. People
are wrongly blaming us for Emon's and Chang's Ouster, You don't vote for the
right singer, and then cry about a lesser person coming ahead. Prashant has a
sizable number of people in his home area and the police force who are voting en
block , so he is winning."
The source went on, "Don't the judges (Alisha wanted to walk out ) also
complain about audiences voting pattern? Although Emon was a good singer, we
alway knew that he will be out, because he did not have required public
support."
On the question of making the vote figures public, our
source said, "The format( Indian idol is
international format) does not allow for the same . And secondly, if we do give
the voting figures, will it not affect the next rounds result?". Taking a
dig at the opposition, the source further went on to say that both those
shows(Sa Re Gama SVOI) are homegrown and could have had the judges saving the
contestants( which we cannot do, due to above format restriction) , but even
then they prefer to ape us.
When reminded that something similar had
happened during Qazi victory in Fame Gurukul2, the source empathetically denied
any wrong doing even then too. "We Indian's
like the underdog and support him, hence Qazi came ahead.. So please vote for
your favorite contestant rather then just crib."
