Congress spokesperson Satyavrat Chaturvedi has never been the best friend of the media. Chaturvedi’s inaccessibility has already created enough detractors in the journalists’ circle. They complain that he can rarely be reached on phone (incidentally, his mobile phone has a Madhya Pradesh number). The bite-hungry media had another face-off with the ruling party spokesperson last week. Apparently, some reporters were summoned to his home, only to be rebuffed by the watchman outside. In explanation, Chaturvedi declared that he needed privacy. Last heard, the issue had been taken up with the Congress political secretary Ahmed Patel who has promised a better deal.
