ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash | Episode 2 - Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma

Himanta Biswa Sarma is not just the Chief Minister of Assam but also the most influential political figure in the whole of North East India. Called controversy’s favourite child by many, he doesn’t shy away from speaking his mind. Switching sides to the BJP in 2015 has seen his popularity grow tenfold - whether it's at the Centre or amongst the masses in the Hindi heartland. In a candid conversation with Smita Prakash, the witty politician talks about his days in the Congress and the stark differences he witnessed between the cultures of the BJP and the Congress. In this conversation, he doesn’t leave a stone unturned to slam the Gandhi family and even ends up calling them “expired Drugs”. He takes on Rahul Gandhi over his “feudal mindset”, referring to him as someone “not fit for politics”. He sheds light on issues of his home state Assam varying from Bangladeshi immigrants to unauthorised Madrasas and how the BJP government has helped in integrating North Eastern states with the rest of India.

[@kanjalochanpathak]

Being from Assam, since childhood, I had been dying and dreaming to see the first politician from Assam to answer in Hindi, to answer in English without fumbling with the first few words and go dead, to questions asked by any mainstream journalist. How the heart used to cringe to see politicians from Assam going white with confusion with even a 'yes/no' question asked in English or Hindi so many times...the frushtrating wait of decades got over today when I found this interview and such a rewarding one. When I find that the interview lasted for not a few seconds, or at most, a couple of minutes, but a full hour and three minutes where the CM, of Assam, HBS, spoke with such total command over his answers, with such clarity to not simple but an intricate volley of questions from an accomplished journalist, the heart has to flutter with joy...It is as if he compensated in that one hour with his tongue-in-cheek, humorous and yet supremely packed-up, probing dealings of the questions for all the linguistic inability and insufficiency in Hindi and English of his fellow politicians from Assam over decades. When interviews can get so humorous and unpretentious, yet so wise, they can redefine the whole art of interviewing. Salute...

The Man, The Myth, The Legend - HIMANTA🚩

[@AlphaCentauri24]

Superb interview. Himanta ji is a rockstar! Just a suggestion to Smita ji. Please allow the guest to complete his thoughts. If you interrupt before that not only does the guest lose his train of thoughts but it also interrupts the listening continuity of the viewer.

[@tenc6491]

Listened to him for the first time and man, oh man, he won my heart! I can tell he loves the country he lives in.

[@zaheermohammad6469]

Actually, I like this man and how he spoke - Love you!!!

[@arenlaozukum8099]

Why are you gay? 😅 if you know you know 😂

[@kavitagera6101]

Himanta Biswa Sharma is one of the most dynamic and trailblazing leaders in BJP and a fantastic CM for Assam. He has successfully placed Assam and North East on the top of India all credit to him. So happy for the talented efficient fiercely patriotic Assamese people who are finally getting their due. Himanta Mama is perfect PM material for next Gen BJP. All power to him. 👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

Smita did try to sneak the "defense" of Kejriwal at the end; but the demolition by Himanta was swift and surgical 😁
