The trigger Sometime in early March, Sardesai had got a call from Ambani, who was livid. “He was like—why is the channel (CNN-IBN and IBN7) venting all kinds of views against him?” said a former Network18 official who is aware of the conversation. He didn’t want to be named. Throughout the run-up to the November-December state assembly elections and its aftermath, Ambani had been angered by the attacks made on him by Arvind Kejriwal, leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). The party had captured the public imagination and gone on to form a short-lived government in Delhi. Kejriwal had gone all guns blazing for Ambani—in press conferences, speeches, at rallies and pleas to the Anti-Corruption Branch. He had made several allegations. To begin with, he had named Ambani in accusations about crony capitalism; he then filed a first information report (FIR) against him, along with RIL and some central government ministers and officials over alleged irregularities in the pricing of natural gas from the Krishna-Godavari basin off India’s east coast. All of Kejriwal’s allegations were being aired live on national television, fuelling further criticism on social media. RIL, a $66 billion energy firm, wanted to react but didn’t know how. Suing newspapers and television channels was one thing—suing Kejriwal quite another. Threatening him with a lawsuit didn’t work. One-off statements from the communications team summarily denying those allegations weren’t good enough either. RIL finally reached out to several global communications agencies for help. Sometime in late February, the leadership team of New Century, a London-based media agency, flew down to India and had a crisis meeting with the top brass at RIL, according to a former Network18 official who asked not to be named. In the past, New Century had advised several leading political parties, wealthy individuals and CEOs of multinational corporations such as BP Plc, British Airways, Prada SpA and the Arsenal football club. Mint couldn’t independently verify if the agency had finally received a mandate from RIL. At this juncture, a call to Sardesai seemed like a good idea. After all, RIL indirectly owned Network18. “They wanted a complete blackout of Kejriwal and AAP,” said another Network18 official who was privy to the conversation but did not want to be identified. “Rajdeep refused, saying it was just not possible. He stood by the spirit of journalism. So they were miffed that the channel had not boycotted the AAP.” | ||
