Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “press appearance“ generated quite a bit of buzz yesterday with TV channels cutting live to the Bharatiya Janata Party headquarters. Journalists on social media and those present at the press conference expected the PM to take questions—the first time ever since he got elected in 2014. However, it was clear within minutes that Modi would direct all questions to BJP President Amit Shah. While some TV channels continued to dub the event as the PM’s first press conference in their primetime offering, Zee News called it a historic moment and anchor Sudhir Chaudhary elaborated on why it was such a masterstroke.
