Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal posted on his Facebook page: “A must read. Mukesh Ambani wanted to blackout AAP. Rajdeep Sardesai refused. Finally, Ambani took over CNN-IBN & Network18.
Livemint: “At this juncture, a call to Sardesai seemed like a good idea. After all, RIL indirectly owned Network18. “They wanted a complete blackout of Kejriwal and AAP,” said another Network18 official who was privy to the conversation but did not want to be identified. “Rajdeep refused, saying it was just not possible. He stood by the spirit of journalism. So they were miffed that the channel had not boycotted the AAP.
