Is The Times of India now the government's unofficial mouthpiece? It would seem so if you look at its edit page over the last few days. On June 30, 2017, Jayant Sinha, Union Minister for Civil Aviation wrote an edit page article, 'The Big Bang Has Come,' focussing on Modi's 3.0 reform; on July 1, it was the turn of known BJP sympathiser, Ashok Malik: 'New Dawn at Midnight'. And on July 3, party spokesperson GVL Narasimha Rao wrote an article, entitled, 'GST in Modi's New India'. The daily does not carry an edit page in its Sunday edition (July 2). On July 4 the GOI returned the favour. Timed with the Modi-Netanyahu summit the two PMs wrote a joint edit page piece 'exclusively' for the TOI.
