Private TV channel helping AAP to win Delhi poll: Shah

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Amit Shah on Saturday asked people to be “cautious” about news dished out by a private Hindi TV channel, apparently helping Aam Admi Party to win the Delhi Assembly elections.

“The TV channel is having an agenda to launch Aam Admi Party and help Kejriwal win election in Delhi...there cannot be a bigger example of yellow journalism than this,” Shah told reporters.

The BJP chief's statement came in response to a question by the channel reporter as to why the party had “borrowed” Kiran Bedi for Delhi election.

When some media persons, mostly from TV channels, asked as how he could decide on which channel public should watch, Shah said: “I have expressed my opinion and it depends on people whether to take it or not.” He defended inclusion of Kiran Bedi into the party and had said BJP had always been in favour of inclusion of eminent personalities from different walks of life.
