MAINSTREAM MEDIA HAS ‘BOYCOTTED’ BHARAT JODO YATRA, ALLEGES GEHLOT

Jhalawar: Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Monday lashed out at the mainstream national media, claiming they have “boycotted” Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra as editors and owners are under pressure. Addressing a press conference here a day after the the Bharat Jodo Yatra entered the Congress-ruled state, Gehlot claimed the media has completely failed to fulfil their responsibility as the fourth pillar of democracy, and history will not forgive them for that.

As Gehlot launched his tirade against the media, AICC General Secretary (Communication) Jairam Ramesh intervened to defend the journalists present there, saying they should not be blamed as they have been doing their job properly.

However, he also lamented Yatra’s coverage in mainstream was not as per their expectations. Gehlot said Yatra is getting overwhelming support from across country & on social media. “And I want to tell you that you should tell your owners that we aren’t going to be afraid, Rahul Gandhi’s path is of truth & non-violence & his caravan has begun,” he told media. “You do your duty & send your coverage (to your office)...but owners & editors are under pressure. I charge that they have boycotted such a big march,” he said.
