hhunaeh Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Goa CM even made a sachin analogy Parrikar gave the Tendulkar analogy subsequently, while defending his decision to send only politicians. They, according to him, are the potential organisers of international events and not Goan footballing legends and coaches. "Sachin Tendulkar is a good player, but he could not become a good captain. Organisation is a different ball game," Parrikar claimed that ministers can be given responsibility for organising mega sporting events and not the players "because no one would listen to them" :cantstop: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sachin=GOD Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 All quiet on the Modi front: The new rules of media (dis)engagement It's been close to a month since the Narendra Modi government came to power. However, there is little that the media has been able to lay its hands on in terms of information about crucial decisions and workings of the government. For example, when Nawaz Sharif visited India, its was foreign secretary Sujatha Singh who briefed the media. What she chose to share with the press was nothing except the pleasantries one expects heads of two nations to exchange, more specifically chit chat about their mothers. Now, unless that is all the two men spoke about -- which is highly unlikely -- it made clear that the new government keeps information tightly under the wraps. Now DNA reports that "the byte" has gone out of the BJP. An article in DNA points out that the Prime Minister doesn't have a media advisor and the Press Information Bureau has hardly any information to release and the BJP itself no longer holds daily briefings, which is a significant break from the past. The article also notes that leaders such as Prakash Javadekar and Ravi Shankar Prasad, who used to be frequently seen on TV shows are not to be seen anywhere now. So is there a gag order on everyone in the Modi sarkar? To be fair, when the government has been required to face media questions, it has done so promptly. Take for example, the Delhi power crisis. Faced with chaos and doubts as Delhi reeled under a severe power crisis, minister of state for power, Piyush Goyal, held a long press briefing, filling in the media about the work being undertaken to fix the power lines. He explained in great detail where the government was getting surplus power from, which agencies have been entrusted with the job of fixing the faults in the power infrastructure and also gave an approximate timeline within which it hoped to complete its job. In cases such as the Badaun gangrape, the Home Minister asked for a report from the state government and this was duly conveyed to the media. But as Firstpost's Rajeev Sharma has reported, Narendra Modi has taken special precautions to ensure his ministers or party leaders do not end up as the wrong kind of headline -- a la Bangaru Laxman of NDA. Number one rule of that security system requires keeping all interaction with the media to a minimum. That rule has now been seemingly taken to a new extreme, as DNA reports: What is even more damning is that the daily briefing in the BJP headquarters at 11, Ashoka Road, which converted the drab morning hours to prime time TV, has been stopped. OB vans no longer line this beautiful boulevard. The once-accessible friendly BJP office-bearers have “gone underground”. A BJP worker said newspapers are scanned every morning to keep tabs on who in the party and government was talking to the media and on what. The newly appointed spokesperson M J Akbar is nowhere to be seen and has not briefed the press even once. Of course, these are early days yet, and discretion is easy to maintain in good times. It remains to be seen if the Modi sarkar can be as disciplined in times of crisis. http://www.firstpost.com/politics/all-quiet-on-the-modi-front-the-new-rules-of-media-disengagement-1576213.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
