Why After Finals Gajji? EXPOSE HIM!

Friends, here's a report in the Statesman.

Just a question. On the issue of walk-outs, Gajji keeps on saying that he will reveal the culprit's name after the finals. Why after finals, Gajji? You don't want to ruin your 'Singh' brethren's chances?

How can you show such indifference on this issue? Expose them immediately if you have any respect for viewer's sentiments.

KOLKATA, Feb. 10. — What do you expect from the team of a talent hunt where judges have walked off the set and contestants have made the nation sit up and take notice by alleging foul play? Fireworks? But as the director, judge and finalists of Zee TV's Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, made their appearance ahead of the first show to be held off its sets in the show's history, at City Centre, the only ones to do the shooting (questions) were the scribes.
Programme director Gajendra Singh, music director Ismail Darbar who is also a judge and finalists Debojit Saha and Vineet Singh made a delayed entry. Compere Shaan was absent thanks to flight problems. "This is the first time we have come out of our sets to interact with the audience in a live performance. We chose Kolkata because the audience here is discerning," said Gajendra. The group will perform next in Delhi, and the final will be held live in Mumbai. Gajendra, however, denies that the show is facing competition from improvised clones such as Indian Idol and Fame Gurukul.
"We (Zee) produced the first talent hunt contest of its kind. We started in 1992, even before American Idol was aired. Even when we fight on the sets, it is about music. We try to give our participants a thorough grounding. The group of 12 chosen by judges such as Pandit Jasraj, Suresh Wadekar, Jagjit Singh and Alka Yagnik are all good. Who makes it to the winning spot is a matter of luck, decided by public opinion, because it is the public that creates a star."
Talk of voting and the comes up the episode in which three of the contestants had rebelled against the bulk votes received by Debojit from North-east (Debojit is from Assam), and staged a walk out. "I feel someone incited these kids, maybe someone who is part of the unit. I will come out in the open about this once the finals are over," said Gajendra.
Debojit, however, said: "It would have been unnatural if people from the North-east hadn't voted for me. And if we are all equally talented there can't be any foul play in one getting more votes."
But isn't the choice of finalists tilts a little too much to men? "I have noticed it, and will try to rectify it in the mega-finals. How I do will be a surprise," Gajendra said.
