Bajpai’s utterances are odd, to say the least. Leave for one minute the UPA-NDA comparison. If Bajpai feels that things are as bad under the NDA as they used to be under the UPA or that there’s no difference between Manmohan Singh and Narendra Modi, he’s well within his rights to feel so. At any rate, governments trying to control the media and succeeding at it is not a new phenomenon. But to deny that he ever faced pressure in ABP News runs contrary to his over 4000-word piece.
