The live stream was heavily oriented towards the VIPs in the mission control room. There were interesting things going on but the video kept angling for reaction shots. It was annoying if you came for the space and all you got was the politics.

This is pretty typical for ISRO, or any government entity. It's not even political. If you see the older livestreams, you'll see a podium bought to the mission control room floor, where the ISRO bigwigs will deliver their remarks and congratulations. Wouldn't surprise me if this is followed by a "Vote of Thanks" and presenting of a bouquet.
