NEW DELHI, Apr 6: Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh hosted a media get-together here today over a luncheon meet at his residence wherein all the Delhi-based familiar media personalities, including TV anchor persons, reporters and journalists from print media came together for an informal one to one interaction with the Minister. Also present on the occasion was Director General of Press Information Bureau, A.P. Frank Noronha.
Dr Jitendra Singh went around sharing one to one chat with each of the guests who were keen to share the Minister’s views on a variety of current subjects, including BJP-PDP alliance in Jammu & Kashmir, his initiatives in his constituency of Kathua-Udhampur-Doda, Northeast development projects, UPSC exam row, pattern of Civil Services exam, probability of CBI enquiry into Karnataka IAS officer’s death and a host of other related issues. To each of these queries, Dr Jitendra Singh responded politely saying that today’s get-together was only meant to be an informal feast with the media fraternity, of which he has himself been a part for the last several years.
To a persistent query from some of the media persons as to how he personally felt like working under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Dr Jitendra Singh said, Modi is the best head of Government that one could ever have to work under, because he is thoroughly professional in his approach and gives you opportunity to work to the maximum of your potential. At the same time, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a very hard working person and inspires others also to work with diligence and honesty, he added.
At the conclusion of the get-together, all the attending media persons were appreciative of Dr Jitendra Singh’s unique initiative and suggested to him to organize similar informal meets at regular intervals in future as well. At the conclusion of the luncheon meet lasting over three hours, each of the guests, before leaving, was given a memento as token of respect and remembrance.
