Hafta 151: Gujarat election results, NDTV layoffs, #2GVerdict, Modi vs Manmohan and more

Newslaundry reporter Amit Bhardwaj is back from covering the Gujarat elections. He shares his experience covering the results and how the BJP delayed celebrations as the contest turned out to be tougher than previous elections. Abhinandan Sekhri, Manisha Pande, Anand Ranganathan and Newslaundry executive editor Vikram Kilpady discuss the #2GVerdict and how it has changed the body language of people like A. Raja and Kapil Sibal. The panel also talks about how the verdict may impact the politics in the future. Abhinandan Sekhri speaks on NDTV layoffs and slams people who evince happiness when people who they dislike, lose their jobs. He links it to the psychology that when hate takes over a person's mind, he/she becomes heartless. Anand Ranganathan has an interesting counter to that perspective. Manisha jumps in the discussion targeting the meaninglessness of Left media on this issue. At last, Amit talks about PM Modi's Vikas slogan during the Gujarat election and an interesting conversation he had with a senior journalist when he went to the ground. Listen up, there is a song dedication for acquitted A. Raja in the end too.
