Several channels and newspapers gave a miss to AAP national convenor and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s allegation that the prime minister’s “media advisor” Hiren Joshi pressured the media.
In a show of strength ahead of the Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat elections, the AAP had invited around 1,500 elected representatives of the party from across the country to Delhi to the first such AAP meeting. At the event on Sunday, Kejriwal claimed that Joshi, officer on special duty, communications and IT in the PMO, warned owners and editors of TV channels that “there is no need to show the Aam Aadmi Party” and threatened them with consequences if they “show Kejriwal”.
