Karnataka chief minister B.S. Yediyurappa‘s media schedule for Monday, 21 June 2010.
Forty interviews in all, in slots of 20 mintues each spread over seven-and-a-half hours, have been lined up by his media secretary, N. Bhrungesh, with the members of the press to enable the CM to hold forth on his pet themes of development, governance and progress on the completion of his second year in office.
The hard work will not show till Thursday, June 24, when the 20 Kannada, 13 English, three Urdu, two Telugu, and one Tamil media vehicles all simultaneouly begin running their “exclusives” and “breaking news”.
He’ll provide same answers to similar questions 40 times? Why can’t he just do a group conference for an hour and be done with it?
I have been following this blog for quite some time. De-lurking now!
So this is yet another instance of our great leaders leaving no stone unturned to thump themselves on their dirty backs. I think we should keep this schedule for future reference. When the next score card or election time comes, we can shove it in BSY’s face and demand an explanation.
the chart looks like a mofussil bus timetable..
Kiran,
Any specific reason for the outburst? This is yet another case where the media just sensationalizes something, and folks like you and me get carried away! The media is basically a rogue element, has no responsibility but full freedom!!!
I just love the way you guys post satirical bits about BSY, especially all the awkward photo situations!
