Its a good thing he is thick skinned and ignores baba's like him. The media will whinge and cry even if he appoints angels directly descended from the heavens. Case in point if he selects old experienced people, the same media cries, oh what change IK is bringing, these the same people who were with xyz before. Brings news people, oh look he brought totally new and inexperienced people who don't know anything.
Medias example is that of the donkey and father and son story. If the ride the donkey people cursed them for being cruel to the donkey, if they walked people made fun look how stupid they are they have a healthy donkey and they are walking, so on and so forth in the end they ended up carrying the donkey on their heads and even then people made fun look how stupid they are instead of riding the donkey they are carrying it on their head.
No matter what happens or what is done. The paid media, patwaris and jiyalas are going to keep crying. So they are best left ignored.
