Rajdeep uncle calling Dhannya "Coriander.. Coriander.. Coriander.." 😅

Very important discussion on key election issues in India

[coffeeguru]

The elections are not about parties but about the citizen. If the citizen raises even ONE DOUBT it is the DUTY of the Election Commission to give absolute and full clarity and answers till the citizen is satisfied. If that is not done then the entire election is deemed a fraud it’s as plain and simple as that. As it is the fundamental right of the voter to know and be assured that the vote he cast went to where it was intended to go no holds barred. PERIOD The onus is fully on the ECI

In 2009, when BJP said there may be a problem with EVM, a solution was proposed along with that VVPAT.

What the Congress is doing now is speculation and "intellecutals" such as Rajdeep just join the chorus as it is just Modi bashing. Sick.

[dilbaghmor]

Why did no one ever said this when congress was coming to power for 70 years. It's paining the pseudo seculars now.

[jbcsafi]

Raj Deep why you don't join Congress & become MP from Rajya Sabha, as you will not get more than 500 votes in election.

BJP won jammu region. Maharashtra, Haryana. Only lost jharkhand.

Fabulous interview with Rajdeep giving new insights into the election that was 2024

[fishyslogger]

I saw Randeep 's interview with Ajit Anjum on the same book and almost decided against watching this one.... But so glad I did watch all of it... This is from a completely different point of discussion. Loved it and thank you team News Minutes and Rajdeep... A must watch interview. My hour well spent!

In USA, the exit poll of presidential election this year didn't match the results and surprised all. Just wondering, what did that mismatch say?

[harshitrathi]

All political parties are corrupt. The problem is he was silent when congress was in power. He is talking about cash in Maharashtra during election but not talking about the violence which happens in WB under TMC Govt. This is shows he is biased

If muslim leaves islam then 98% problem in Bharat will be solved

[bunbun]

Rajdeep should exit So called Journalism and formally join Congress and go to Raj Shabha

[prakhargupta]

These type of Interviews are the real reason why BJP wins every elections.😂😂😂

[sridharmahalingam]

An interaction between 2 Sonia Gandhi family funded lutyens media ecosystem analysts. Shameless journalists who call themselves as neutral journalists.

[harishbasavaraju]

Party in power will always have upper hand. Congress was in power for so many years, it did have all M on its side. Now it's with BJP. But who is stopping the opposition party to find alternatives to set the narrative. Who is stopping them to build booth level organisation and do door to door campaign. The fact is opposition want power by default without putting efforts and hard work.
Remember how AB vajpayee, LK Advani, Sushama Swaraj, Arun Jaitley were conducting themselves as opposition leaders. They were heard because of their intellectual speaking. I don't see such leaders in opposition now.

I want to see a debate between Rajdeep sardesai and J. Sai deepak, atleast 1 hour.

[HeavenRacer]

Mus|ims others non Mus|ims in their asmani kitab. The whole quran is based on believer and non believers. Rules are 2 types. If BJP do the same. What's wrong?

[spg]

I recollect " POST TRUTH" discussion immediately after the 2014 BJP victory by same Left leaning so called journalists --- They called 2014 was aberration and Congress led government will come back in 2019 -- But in 2019 when BJP got 303 seats, all analysis went burst .. Chatisgud assembly election was WON by Congress before the election by media . Hence we need to Retire bunch of these journalists and ask them to take a walk everyday morning in BANGALURU weather -- That is good for their health and they can attend post retirement KATAA KAALAKHEPAM -- Country should be handed over to AI powered Youngsters

Let's stop using the word "won by so and so party". It's not a war fought between kings and queens. It's an election. Let's start saying "so and so party got elected in so and so state"
