Investigations into the source of the BSP's large deposits of old currency notes post demonetisation have made Mayawati realize her inner goodness. Of late, she has been at her affable best in her attitude towards the media. Mayawati has started interacting with the press more frequently and is a gracious hostess. Last week at a press meet she conceded that it would be inappropriate to simply read out a statement, and she would answer questions. She was all affability as she insisted the scribes stay for lunch..
Earlier she used to hold press conferences rarely and her attitude was cavalier. Her press meets followed a fixed routine. She would put her signature purse down, read out a prepared text and then without answering questions ask those present to proceed for lunch.
