Arnab Goswami started the interview thanking Modi twice for the rare opportunity to interview him (tweets below) |
June 27, 2016, NewsCrunch
Times Now editor Arnab Goswami’s exclusive interview with PM Modi ran on expected lines.
He started the interview thanking Modi twice for the rare opportunity to interview him.
In the second question, he said he and his readers were grateful for getting a chance to hear Modi’s views on range of issues. It rolled down the hill steadily after that.
The interview rambled on with longish questions and with even longer answers, moving at an excruciating speed from one topic to another.
There were two points worth noting – Modi chiding Subramanian Swamy and lamenting the lack of humour in public life, for whatever they were worth.
It was all what Modi wanted to get across, with Arnab Goswami not even trying pretending to challenge any of them.
The Modi interview was a disgrace. NOT A SINGLE tough or a probing question. Arnab is not just a pussycat but a wet and shivering pussycat.— Anand Ranganathan (@ARangarajan1972) June 27, 2016
