PM Modi pays last respect to former PM Manmohan Singh at his residence
Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid his last respects to former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at his residence in Delhi on Friday.
In an ongoing scuffle amidst Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal slammed the media for ‘blacking out’ his speech at the opening of the Signature Bridge on Sunday wondering whether newspapers were petrified even of BJP MPs.
The Delhi CM took to Twitter on Monday stating: “Almost the entire Delhi media has blacked out my speech and has refrained from writing that a police officer was assaulted and bottles were thrown on stage. I understand media’s fear of Modi. But media so petrified of even a BJP MP?”

Almost the entire Delhi media has blacked out my yesterday’s speech (bcoz it challenged Modi ji’s politics) and have refrained from writing that police officer was assaulted n bottles thrown on stage. I understand media’s fear of Modi. But media so petrified of even a BJP MP?

The AAP chief wondered if the “Delhi media is completely in Modi’s grip”.
Earlier on Sunday, after missing many deadlines, the iconic and much-awaited Signature Bridge on the Yamuna was inaugurated by Delhi CM and was opened for the public on Monday.
The inauguration came after a clash between BJP and AAP workers at the site, with BJP Delhi unit chief Manoj Tiwari, also an MP, clashing with AAP supporters and allegedly grappling with policemen.
