167: PM Modi Speaks to Media - The Press Conference That Wasn’t

So, Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a press conference on 26th April!  Just kidding. So, some sections of the media reported that PM Modi would hold a press conference, ie., the FIRST press conference ever in his five years as Prime Minister, on 26 April.  On 26 April, Narendra Modi’s Youtube page had an event scheduled for 12.30 pm: PM Modi's interaction with members of media in Varanasi!  A media interaction? Is it a press conference? Is it a full length interview? Is it an hour long apolitical informal chat with Akshay Kumar? PM Modi’s press conference/media interaction is the big story of the day. Or rather, the big story of the day is the press conference that never was.
