In a recent post, The Hoot, an online media-watch portal, said that an article by FirstPost.com Editor R Jagannathan - suggesting "Arun Jaitley and Smriti Irani are the under-performers" in the Narendra Modi-led government and that "Modi needs to let go" of them if he wants delivery - was taken down by the news website under "pressure from the management". Soon afterwards, rumour mills were abuzz about a fresh round of leadership change at Network18. On Monday, the article, titled "The Modi government's Achilles Heel" reappeared on Jagannathan's personal portal, rjagannathan.in, adding fodder to the rumour mills.
