TV channels black out Modi event after war of words with organizers


New Delhi, 2 October 2013

According to a blog on Outlook, the event in Delhi organized by Citizens of Accountable Governance (CAG) in Delhi today failed to get TV coverage following a war of words between the organizers of the event and the TV journalists. TDP leader Chandrababu Naidu and Narendra Modi shared the stage in today’s Manthan event, and it was a matter of great political significance. However all TV channels boycotted the programme. The problem between TV channels and organizers occured due to a list of Dos and Don’t given to the journalists. When the journalists threatened to walk out, the organizers said go. TV channels walked out, and never returned as per the Outlook blog.
