National spokesperson of Congress, Pawan Khera has blamed the media, particularly the national media that was raising irrelevant issues to divert the people’s attention from serious issues like the unprecedented fuel price hikes and the rising prices of essential commodities hitting the common man badly.
At a press conference here, he claimed it was unfortunate that a major section of the media had colluded with the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and was failing the nation by creating religious and divisive narratives to mask the real issues.
Mr. Khera, who was in Hyderabad as part of the party’s campaign to highlight serious issues like fuel prices and the farmers not getting remunerative prices, rejected the argument that Congress was not doing enough in its duty to expose the government. He said it was Rahul Gandhi who had come out on the streets on all fuel prices and other failures of the government but the media was busy promoting Mr. Modi forgetting its basic responsibility.
