The newly elected BJP government in Delhi has ushered in a wave of openness and accessibility for media personnel. Under the previous leadership of Chief Minister Kejriwal, media access was more restricted, with journalists barred from entering the assembly source says. However, the atmosphere has since transformed dramatically. Now, media representatives can move freely within the premises, enjoying the privilege of a dedicated vegetarian buffet in the canteen, provided to them at no cost, as reported by sources.
In a further step to foster a collaborative environment, even non-accredited media personnel have been granted entry, allowing a broader range of voices and perspectives sources say. Additionally, ministers are now permitted to bring their personal photographers along, enhancing the visual narrative of their governance. Interestingly, it has emerged that payments for group photographers associated with the Kejriwal administration are being funded by the Punjab government, adding another layer of intrigue to the political landscape source says.
