One woke up yesterday to the news that Gopinath Munde had met with an accident and predictably the news channels flashed it all day. Unlike brother-in-law Pramod Mahajan, Munde may not have had a national footprint, but he was a key leader for us journalists in Mumbai.

The 9 pm bulletins saw CNN-IBN come out tops with back-to-back discussions first on Munde and its impact on Maharashtra elections and two, on road safety and the need for stricter road safety rules.
