About boasting or bragging,we did have an examplein Bofors/Tehelka episode. Do you remember a person called Jain of Janata Dal who claimed to be an office bearer and what all that he had claimed? Just to elicit the info.one wants to collect, various methods are used.Remember using of call girls, prostitutes and alcohol in Bofors/Tehelca and it was questioned? Here also as reported the reporter of Tehelka "becomes" a VHP/BJP activist to gain confidence of those other activist members of the group and once he gained confidence it would not have been difficult to make those party activists to brag/boast since we do not know what the reporter had said or done to get the boast or make them brag just to gain importance. It was reported then that lot of petrol cans were being carried from the nearby petrol station. All said and done just like the incident the timing of the scoop was illtimed and wrong.
