Passing the question

Question on contracts was sidetracked by Reliance Industries and its partner BP

In a press conference to announce the company’s strengthened partnership with BP, Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani was on the front foot when it came to passing on questions to BP Group Chief Executive Bob Dudley. “Bob and I have a rule. I will take all the easy questions, he’s going to take the difficult ones.” Dudley wasn’t far behind. He sidetracked a question on contracts and said that considering they were in the process of awarding contracts, RIL Director P M S Prasad would be unhappy if he gave details.
