1. Do you remember anybody demanding a press conference in 10 yrs from Sonia Gandhi, the ruling party’s President ?
No, because they knew she could only read from a sheet of paper written by someone else or have chits passed to her by Mani, Khurshid, Sibal etc
& still barely pass muster, even with an obliging, fawning press.

When a brutalised Nirbhaya was sent suddenly to Singapore in the dead of the night & returned to a surreptitious cremation did our now perpetually howling Lutyens Media ask even ONCE - why ?
3. Whose decision was it ?
The Central Govt, the Delhi CMs or the Congress President?
Does anybody even recollect the answer ?
4. Do look back at the soft, delicate interviews with Vir Sanghvi, Shekhar Gupta, Rajdeep Sardesai & most recently Aroon Purie.
Where grown men petrified of receiving that horse head in their beds touched on cuisine, mother in laws & children.....
5. Do you remember anybody asking MMS for more than his 3 press conferences in 10 yrs ?
No because frankly there were easier ways to catch a snooze & a gagged PM is not only embarrassing but Sonia with her paper, chits & courtiers would’ve definitely known more than him.
6. About Rahul the less said the better.
The man just doesn’t stop speaking. Uncles Tharoor & Pitroda don’t know how to switch off their most useless pupil. But what the heck he keeps them all employed.
7. However when it comes to PM Narendra Modi, probably among the most articulate of our PMs & an accomplished orator & communicator the same nodders & hem-kissers who didn’t manage a whimper in the last regime
8. find the questions posed to him not tough enough, the setting scripted,
the audience planted,
& democracy in peril among other things .....
9. More & more the Lutyens Cabal can best be compared to an ageing party girl.
Waiting with the buntings, the party hat, the plastic glasses for the champagne to pop & the celebrations to begin.
10. But sadly that refuses to happen despite the nth relaunching of the Prince now King without a Kingdom, the hit jobs & the innumerable electoral defeats.

The seething anger at Narendra Modi & his supporters, the pettiness & frustration is for all to see.
