Fadnavis said that he has seen Yadu Joshi’s journalism from his first days. He has climbed the position on his self strength in journalism. Yadu Joshi was not appointed to the post of State Accreditation Committee but he was elected to the coveted position. Joshi’s qualification is unquestionable, said Fadnavis. “Rahi Bhide’s journalism is being seen by me since I became Mayor. I am closely observing the qualitative and quantitative journalism of Rahi Bhide since the past 15 years when I entered Maharashtra Legislature,” said the Chief Minister while honouring both the veteran scribes.
