Modi takes a dig at news channels' Cabinet speculation

May 21, 2014 23:00

A correspondent in New Delhi: Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi today took a dig at news channels for their speculative reports on his government's Cabinet at the Centre.

Modi said, "For last few days, some 8-10 news channels are showing 8-10 different Cabinets, while I am yet to form mine. While one channel gives particular department to one person, the other channel gives the same department to some other person. While on one channel we find one person has been made minister of one department, on other channel the same person is allotted another department. Not only this, but the news channels describe reasons also for allotment of particular ministry to a particular person'.

Modi further said that his job has been made easier by news channels, as now all he needs to do is just to order a copy of the list of ministers already prepared by news channels.
