So, you watched Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s interview with Arnab Goswami and felt it was softball, cozy and, umm, all things the Times Now Editor-in-Chief has disdain for? Well, we sort of agree and feel the PM should move away from giving interviews to these Lutyens/Bandra-types. It’ll offer some variety and that way the PM will get an opportunity to answer questions that really bog the aam janta. And it’s not always Subramanian Swamy.
Support Independent Media
The media must be free and fair, uninfluenced by corporate or state interests. That's why you, the public, need to pay to keep news free.
ContributeCheck, for example, this news anchor on Real Telangana who skewers the PM on inflation.
The Deccani Urdu may be a little tough for you to get but the anchor is basically charging the PM of tasting delicacies across the world on his foreign trips, and ignoring the plight of the poor who can’t even afford tamatar ki chutney with their food, rice and salt is all that’s affordable in acche din. (In case you’re getting all your info on inflation from Times Now’s interview, tomato prices have crossed Rs 80 per kg.)
