Bjp is cutting into congress votes in kerala

If cong. Loses in kerala and LDF wins then it can be game over for Rahul

[muralidharchalapathy]

Communist hey, lekin hindu hey..😎😎.. I can see it coming..

[grimreaper]

As a person who knows both hindi and Malayalam very well, I can say a lot is lost in translation.

[AnudeepTiwari]

Guys, come on, you're there to cover elections and 'street conversation' in Kerala, better get someone who speaks and understands Malayalam !

[shankarduvvuri]

I love the way the BJP supporter is doing the translation for the Communist party supporter. You can always maintain your friendship/respect, even when you vote for different parties.

[oliverqueen]

In last election people/political parties used to talk about development, good roads, new IT parks.., but now everyone talking about free food kits and free rice nothing else, even opposition is promising similar things .

[padmalochanbehera]

Good interactive session in Kerala; people are very clear about their political preferences. Why can't Jyoutiji go to WB and particularly to Nandigram to give us the political preferences of people there.

[advaitattupuram]

There is no constituency called Velayambalam in Kerala. Seeing the poster behind you, it would be vattiyoorkkavu

[chethan]

Send someone who can speak Malayalam! This Malayalam to Urdu translation doesn't work well.
Later English subtitles can be added..

[Samraat.Bhuwan]

Sanghi translating the Communist. Both are clear about their opinion still respect for each other.

[sudarshanachakra.]

Dang....these 2 guys are unapologetically proud of their culture....even the communist said he is a Hindu....poor Jyoti Malhotra tried hard for a narrative..LOL

[Xoro-rbk]

Asking a BJP guy to translate the words of LDF 🤣

[ralex]

One request, please dont go to Kerala if you can't get proper transalator. All videos in Kerala are like this. I am assuming it would be the same quality with other regional videos as well. What is the new found interest of print in Sabarimala

[kaybax]

@ThePrint - It was so clear that they were not comfortable in Hindi, and I don't know why you were persisting in only Hindi and making it difficult for the interviewee and the viewer. You could have easily used English or used a local translator. Disappointed.

[vikrantnalkur]

JM is terrible at Primary Reasearch, just as she is at taking interviews. She's literally prodding the guy "Poochhiye na, poochhiye na..." when the old man is visibly uncomfortable with her line of questioning. Any researcher would know the respondent would fall back on a "safe" answer when probed more. No wonder Lutyens media gets it wrong....
A half-decent Malayali journalist could've done a much better job.

Each temple is different
In Sabrimala womens are not allow
There are other temple where Men are not allow
People should respect their Culture
It's not about Gender discrimination
And if u have problem with this
So
Why not Muslim women go and pray into any Mosques

Why Everyone has problems with only Hindus

[BotswanaThabo]

No matter how much you believe that English is an only omnipresent but its Hindi is the link language even in the South

[salilkumar]

Though I am anti communist but in my opinion LDF led by current CM did better in Kerala. As per trend Congress led UDF should come at this term but everybody know about their position plus they are coming close to radical muslim outfit, as a BJP supporter I wish LDF win in Kerala.

[vineetsinghgusain]

You guys sent a non starter jyoti print come on

[bheeshmar]

I wonder how does print find illiterate people correctly....are you trying to defame kerala....?....thier are lakhs of people who talk hindi nd English properly....but you find only people like this😂😂
