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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hafta 150: Gujarat politics, liquor ban, TV news, condom ad ban, Ram Setu and more
PM Narendra Modi hit backs at Mani Shankar Aiyar’s ‘Neech’ remark by stating that Mani Shankar Aiyar portrays the Congress’ ‘Mughlai mindset.’ Abhinandan Sekhri, Madhu Trehan, Manisha Pande and Atul Chaurasia try to analyse what is election campaigning and what is not? Abhinandan does an analysis of how Indian political leaders behave differently when they are with US leaders and when they are in India. Madhu Trehan discusses Nitish Kumar’s opinion of nation-wide alcohol ban and what it can lead to? Manisha points out that the condom ad by Sunny Leone was the idea behind the condom ad ban between 6 am to 10 pm. Atul feels it was actually a solution to a nationwide problem as the condom was a dogma in previous times which got removed due to such advertisements. Anand Ranganathan talks about Ram Setu bridge and how it has been reported as man-made by a US science channel. The panel discusses TV news in India and how the opinion polls, exit polls, and polls of polls are a useless discussion including their favourite channels, Republic and Times Now. Listen up, there is a song dedicated in the end to all our wonderful subscribers.For reference link:https://www.newslaundry.com/2017/12/15/hafta-150-gujarat-politics-liquor-ban-tv-news-condom-ad-ban-ram-setu-and-more Hosted on Acast.
