PM Narendra Modi to interact with media over tea today

New Delhi: PM Narendra Modi has come to be known as a prime minister who keeps the media at an arm’s length. He speaks to the media when he wants and says only what he wants to say. It’s PM Modi style of celebrating his party’s victory in Haryana and emergence of BJP as a single largest party in Maharashtra assembly elections

However, that may change today when the PM meets journalists and editors over tea. The occasion will be ‘Deepawali Milan’, to be organised at the BJP headquarters at 11, Ashoka Road. Also in attendance will be party president Amit Shah and several Union ministers.

The programme is scheduled to begin at 11 am. PM Modi will arrive at the same time and stay there for about an hour. The interaction will be followed by lunch.

At tomorrow’s tea party, the BJP and Shiv Sena are expected to patch up before forming a coalition government in Maharashtra. While Shiv Sena MPs have confirmed their participation, it is still not clear whether party chief Uddhav Thackeray will attend.
