Modi may avoid the media and they may also torment him. But when they meet him in person, they can't help but mob him.
Modi was mobbed again by selfie-seeking journalists on Saturday during a Diwali Milan lunch hosted the Prime Minister and BJP chief Amit Shah at party headquarters.
Modi spoke briefly on non-discrimination and equality, and went around freely shaking hands, only to get mobbed.
During the last year's Diwali Milan also he had been similarly surrounded by journalists, who had pulled their mobile cameras out.
A few members of the media fraternity slammed journalists for acting like starstruck fans when they met Modi. Others defended them saying that is what happens when you meet him so rarely.
