Delhi confidential: Friendly Fire

Indian Express‎‎‎: New Delhi: Wednesday, August 03, 2016.
Jairam Ramesh provoked RJD MP Prem Chand against the BCCI by reminding him that it refuses to come under the ambit of RTI.
Jairam Ramesh had some fun at the expense of his party colleague Rajeev Shukla in Rajya Sabha Tuesday. He supported RJD MP Prem Chand Gupta in his rant against the BCCI even as Shukla, the chairman of the IPL, was busy defending the cricket board. Ramesh even provoked Gupta against the BCCI by reminding him that it refuses to come under the ambit of RTI. He then sat back and laughed heartily at the argument that ensued between Shukla and Gupta. Almost all MPs across party lines, especially Arun Jaitley, were amused at Ramesh’s antics.
