Stomach is way to media’s heart?

NEW DELHI - As far as serving good food at press conferences goes, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is certainly making its presence felt in Uttar Pradesh.

While a cup of tea is the norm at press briefings addressed by local party leaders, soft drinks along with sandwiches and sweets are always offered to journalists after meetings addressed by central level leaders.

This was evident when BJP vice president Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi arrived at the party’s office in Lucknow.

‘Even if we are not informed about the leader who will address the media, by seeing the refreshments we can easily tell whether the leader is of local or national stature,” said a journalist.
