A Kejriwal snub

IN Media Watch Briefs | 17/07/2015
Said Arvind Kejriwal  to Rajdeep Sardesai in an interview  on India Today today: "Our fight is against those who have vitiated the media" in an apparent reference to Mukesh Ambani, who took over CNN-IBN. The Delhi Chief Minister also pointed out that the interview was agreed upon on a condition: Sardesai would not butt in mid-way which broke the line of thought of the interviewee. "You will not interrupt, promise?" and "Learn to interview; you love your voice".  When Kejriwal was interrupted again, he suggested Sardesai write down "your interference" asked  an aide not visible in the frame to provide a pen!  But the CM made up for his bluntness in other ways.   During each commercial break, Delhi government ads were run.
