Team Anna fast begins on mute

December 27, 2011 13:32

At the MMRDA grounds, Kiran Bedi speaks on mute. So far, not a single TV channel has been covering the event, as the focus remains firmly on the Lokpal debate in Parliament. Though both the events are on screen, cheek-by-jowl, its Parliament that is being heard.

This, is where Team Anna, normally amazingly media savvy, seems to have got it all wrong. A Kapil Sibal and a Sushma Swaraj in Parliament are guaranteed to grab all the eyeballs as compared to Kejriwal and co.

If you recollect, the Jantar Mantar fast which began on August 15 got uninterrupted TV coverage.
