#PLU: "People Like Us"
usage: "Editors in Indian Journalism have a particular tendency to push the perspective of and promote other PLUs"
So for instance when Rajdeep Sardesai feels sad for Devendra Fadanvis where there isn't anything particularly remarkable about Fadanvis -- he is a minor BJP dynast and an RSS+Modi appointee with no mass base in Maharashtra. So why this wistfulness over him? Because PLU!
To get the numbers he got in the election, he had to masterstroke ie bribe and coerce NCP satraps into joining the BJP. And he still couldn't form the government, even with further bribery and coercion. Where is the moral superiority or brilliance in this type of leadership?
