L. Narasimha Reddy quit COI Tuesday within minutes of being informed about apex court’s reservations over his press briefing about the panel formed to look into power purchases.
One has to be incredibly credulous to buy BJP spin masters’ argument that the government got rid of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar for harmonious relationship with the judiciary.

Indian journalists are always trying to one -up the judiciary. They are always on the hunt for ex-judges, at times even of sitting judges.
Every single decision taken by the judges, including those in their private lives, are subject to merciless scrutiny by the media. For example, ex-CJI Mr. Ranjan Gogoi was sent to the Rajya Sabha post retirement by the BJP. Every single media outfit, especially the Left-liberal ones, came up with all kinds of quid-pro-quo theories and questioned his integrity and character.
While journalists, self proclaimed fourth pillar of democracy, can join political parties all the time and even hop from one party to another without copping a blow from the media.
