There is Koffee with Karan, a celebrity chat show on television; then there is Prime Minister Narendra Modi's chai pe charcha. Now, Punjab Congress chief Captain Amarinder Singh has launched "Coffee with Captain", an interactive forum. The idea is to offer people an opportunity to interact with Singh, who will answer their questions and share his ideas over a cup of coffee. In the first edition of the forum held last week, Singh interacted with students from the state. While the Bharatiya Janata Party was quick to dub the forum a copy of its programme in the run-up to the 2014 general elections, the Aam Aadmi Party said it was a strategy to divert people's attention from the income-tax probe into Swiss bank accounts allegedly belonging to Singh's son.
