Politics - It is difficult art and task.

Extra cleverness is required when own men err / do mistakes.
No doubt he is a good and honest leader.

Talking in press conference is against any ethics of political party.
He should not have done the press conference against own men.
He should have gone to senior /High command where he is fully a recognized figure.

Politics needs extra cleverness. Just honesty alone does not work in politics and needs common sense of protecting party image.

God help the party.
