Tehelka U-turn on Rahulspeak, says sorry

‘‘Any errors in the interview are inadvertent and regretted,’’ it said issuing a second statement in the day in the midst of the political controversy over Rahul’s remarks in the interview that there was ‘‘no trace of governance’’ in centrally-ruled and poll-bound Bihar. The statement also described as a ‘‘pity’’ that the issue was being ‘‘politicised’’ by other parties. The fresh statement, the newspaper said, was its ‘‘final take’’ and ‘‘overrides the earlier statements’’. Earlier, Tehelka had said that the interview was a ‘‘formal’’ one and there was nothing ‘‘casual or private’’ about it. ‘‘We do not print anything that is off the record. Our reporter reproduced the interview faithfully,’’ it said.
