Fireside chat

IN Media Watch Briefs | 28/06/2016
A prime minister enjoying himself during his first long interview as PM with India's much-hyped TV terror, was a sight to watch. Narendra Modi waxed expansive and eloquent, as Arnab Goswami indulged him and lobbed enabling questions. Brought up the opposition's obstructionism in Parliament and forgot to mention that the BJP had done the same when it was in the opposition. No wonder it ran to 85 minutes, an indulgence on the media-wary PM's part. He didn't want this enjoyable  chat to end either.
