Yellow journalism has got nothing to do with this. Modi realized that the reporting is not the result of yellow journalism. That's why he reprimanded the minister.

A free press is a double edged sword since it cuts both ways , but that is something that is necessary if you want a open and corruption free society which is what we are striving for...These ministers shd be shown exactly what the public thinks of them and that can be done only by a free press

Free press is welcome. But not to that kind of press which has political affiliations.

There is no such watching body of electronic media though it is there in print media, and that is why many a times it seems showing statements in some  other ways and gaining news through unfair means goes for complete yellow journalism. 

Broadcasting Content complaining cell is there for electronic media also.

PM Modi in recent interview has asked for ministers and MP of his party not to indulge in such misquotes as that create bad name for state. 

 

And why not he should be as such comments earn bad name to the party. From people who manage country one can't expect such comments.

There will always be black sheep in the flock. They always try to be in the limelight. In this process, they never hesitate to expose their foolishness. Modi knows about these Black sheep. Which is why such politicians were reprimanded and warned.

I don't think all these MPs got elected because of their own talent, though there may be exceptions, elections is all about beleive and people look at him and the other no sense statements does not make any sense. 

Talent and Election of political Leaders ? Quite an incompatible combination.

I ma talking about mys state where most leaders got elected due to their talent and one to one connection to people otherwise they are rooted out though at other places people consider other aspects in terms of popularity to elect leaders.
