This Surat incident again proves that Congress is not only unfit to be ruling party but also unfit to be a capable opposition party.

[@Sam-81_98]

Yeh haai desh ki janta ka analysis..

[@shivkumarrp8515]

Is it the first time that a candidate has bern elected unopposed. Also why should NOTA apply when there is no opposite leader. Obviously people will not select NOTA when there is only 1 candidate and people will not come out to vote NOTA ! Some much time is wasted on such nonsense

[@libshastra]

No it’s not the first time. North East has always had a couple of candidates who won unopposed. Most likely, Congress in Surat was sleeping and forgot to confirm their candidate.

[@VyomKhandelia]

Congress is talking about constitutional amendment in Nayay Patra. "The Congress guarantees that it will pass a constitutional amendment to raise the 50 per cent cap on reservations for SC, ST and OBC."

[@sridharmahalingam8190]

As an apolitical Indian iam ashamed antimodi lutyens media analyst like barkha is questioning the legal process by which surat bjp candidate has been declared the winner because of legal disqualification of congress candidates.

Barkha Dutt in Kargil War and 26/11 Mumbai terror attack. She did crucial role in reporting but not in favour of India. She has given the live feed of the terror attack which cost 100s of life's

[@rajbaniwal3236]

What kind of a Democracy is this that it dies whenever the opposition thinks and then they themselves pronounce it is alive and then proclaim it’s dead again 😂 Cats have 7 lives, our Democracy?

[@NARULA1961]

Barkha talks of voter’s right. What when they vote for a coalition and then the parties prt away after election. Maharashtra assembly was a good example. BJP supporters voted for SS but they betrayed the pre poll arrangements

[@baldbonkers7246]

Whenever Congress says minority, read Muslim

[@satish.22m51]

When congress puts in manifesto of muslim appeasement no outrage. When Modi tells it about hungama.

[@rameshchandrapanda5488]

We the people of india (majority hindus) suffer because political parties its leaders use cast religion with left and rt ideology to create vote banks also some media house narrators and top journalists.

[@sunilg5745]

I watched the whole program on the Surat election. First off all I appreciate you in moderating this discussion without allowing shouting matches between the panel members. I have one basic question. When an election particularly a lokshabha election isn’t it the responsibility of the political parties to make sure that they field their candidate and device backup plans to execute that. All political parties play different games whether it is dirty or fair to achieve results. Is Congress party so naive that they are not capable of fielding a candidate at any cost ? As Yeswanth said it is not at all the correct way an election should be fought but it is the responsibility of all political parties involved to make sure that the people are able to cast thier votes and choose the candidate.

[@serious1587]

Who could've guessed BJP would win Surat

[@prescot12345]

VERY WELL SAID YASHWANTH.

[@nirmalajohn3732]

Why did you not play what he actually said to create this confusion .

[@Fambam-cu1wk]

Zandubalm moment for Bakra Dutt 😂

[@VyomKhandelia]

Is this not appeasement of 'minorities' as per Nayay Patra 'We will restore the Maulana Azad Scholarships for study abroad and increase the number of scholarships.' Why only for minorities ? Why study abroad ?

[@devenderpcc]

[@DineshChaturvedi74]

Barkha is bringing good content and debate with no noise. This is missing with many channels. I see her becoming more and more popular. With this show she even got political party guest.

[@rameshchandrapanda5488]

When congress has some plan in manifesto mr.rahul elaborates it in his speec 31:29 h xray economic survey distributing it to weaker communities on their number strength(more population) has been retaliatedby bjp leader.

[@ramaraoanupalli5035]

In MP Samajivadiparty party candidate nomination rejected as it was not filed with required formalities as she was the main candidate for contest.

[@hardikdave8532]

It is clearly visible to the viewers that election after election, Barkha is tirelessly working against BJP. The question is, WHY?

[@DineshChaturvedi74]

Now we are towards the end. One thing Brakha missed completely to debate. She should have focused more on what benefit do you think this plan brings.

[@sugannatarajan4507]

Yashawantji.. I do believe in the theory that congress candidate withdrew on his own bcos, result was imminent. Congi idiots blaming bjp is rank foolishness. Why will they do this in a constituency which is certain to win. Would have been nice if they did it in Wayanad 😝😂🙊

[@VyomKhandelia]

Please can someone explain to me what is fair share means as per Nayay Patra. "We will ensure that the minorities receive their fair share of opportunities in education, healthcare, public employment, public works contracts, skill development, sports and cultural activities without discrimination."

[@SunilKasheer]

Vella baithe yeh sab hai.pc, it happened according to Constitution and letter of law and it was democratic

[@chavaamu]

If we decode Congress manifesto, it is crystal clear what it means. Instead of questioning Congress on that pernicious manifesto, attacking PM who exposed it

[@AS-hk3mj]

47:55 awesome YD comment

[@mangalorefriend2324]

Waqf board is 3rd Largest land owner in India after railways and army. Will congress take land from them and redistribute to OBCs as per the Jitni abadi utni haq formula?

[@shohinibanerjei9402]

What did congress do why emergency was declared and why what was the High Court order for Indira Gandhi

[@sonalidave8067]

Yesterday AIM had explained exactly what MMS clearly said that Muslims will have the first right on resource

[@prabhupatil3753]

The congress spokesperson's frustrations are so clear here 😅😂 he is frustrated that he has to come and support his stupid leaders

[@prasadlele8332]

Congress is bogus. Good lesson taught to them by people of Surat.

[@xy6915]

"Notice her biased tactics in favor of her Congress colleagues. She keeps everyone's microphone muted except for the Congress representative's, allowing them to interrupt and shout down anyone exposing them. After the disruption, she then pretends to restore order. Throughout this, she consistently cuts off the BJP representatives, derailing their train of thought and diminishing the impact of their points.

[@joyguru7743]

No vote congrssmull party🤣🤣

[@user-ee4jz3nt4c]

Why does the volume jump up and down ? It assaults my hearing.

[@mithunkartha]

Barkha may have a tie up with a hearing aid company 😂

[@mangalorefriend2324]

Nothing illegal happened in Surat and BJP would have won it anyway, still issue being created. In west Bengal due to systematic intimidation by TMC in local body polls 1000s of seats were won by TMC uncontested by opposition and no outrage !!

[@anandraj6951]

How much longer are you gonna play the neutral impassive niether godi media nor the liberal journo barkha dutt??. Take a leaf out of desh Bhakth akash Banerjee and dhruv rathee.. if not now it's never barkhaa..

[@sridharmahalingam8190]

Barkha a paid agent of Sonia Gandhi family is a disgrace to journalism.

[@dineshb7002]

Mr Modi is PM for everyone not just for majority community. Power is not going to last forever but his legacy will be remembered.

[@praneetbhatia7057]

I am sorry to say Barkha that now a days your programne are not truly to the interest of the country. When are you going to speak on recent speech of our great PM. Where is our old Barkha?

[@merebaap8370]

Its normal in Russia to get elected unopposed. We are watching the movie THE DICTATOR IN REAL LIFE.

[@sridharmahalingam8190]

I hope antimodi lutyens media journalist like barkha, rajdeep, sagarika,SG etc don't commit suicide when bjp under Modiji wins 2024 with 350+seats.

[@jayeshtharkude3429]

If u need to blame blame it on congress that they should have known how the process goes by so stop blaming BJP. And if any1 sees foul play kindly knock on supreme court door

Please don't invite stupid spokespersons like the Congress you had today.

[@sonalidave8067]

Bharkha is trying to portray congress in good light.

[@AshwaniKumar-nz1te]

Some of the media persons scyedo persons and so called secularists seems to be weeping since the BJP candidate declared elected unopposed Had it been so if it happened vise versa Perhaps all would have kept mum Seems nature playing its own course to testify the hue and cry lobby which is evidently coming out

[@HIMANSHU79879]

I would say Modi must be given 20 years of government in one go why waste money on election ...when other side is practically gone idiot woke. Look congress manifesto, wealth redistribution kya hota Hai ... Kamal koi aur khay koi.... khud mehnat Karo na

[@babarides]

no Barkha. U r not welcome anywhere.

[@ytgururajj]

Faltu discussion. Why is there onus on winning candidate to defend his unopposed winning? Where is common sense Barkha?

Under Congress 16 leaders unopposed. When opposition withdrawn obviously someone will win

😡Barkha Dutt played a crucial roles in Kargil War and 26/11 Mumbai terror attack. She did crucial role in reporting but not in favour of India. She has given the live feed of the terror attack which cost 100s of life's 💐

[@seshanm54]

Barkha Dutt spoke about context for anything which happens. In the case of the Congress, Left & Muslim appeasement has been going on for years, long before the Jana Sangh or the BJP became an electoral force... From * Codifying ONLY Hindu Personal Law * Controlling & administering only Hindu Temples/lands & revenue. * To prostrating before Muslims in the Shah Bano Case. * To creating a Muslim/Dalit coalition & Sonia meeting the Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid before the election * Mollycoddling, terrorists & separatists in Kashmir and never hitting back. Just a few points to show an abnormal tilt which also showed their confidence that the majority Hindus were divided by caste, region , language etc. The BJP galvanising the Hindus into a votebank WAS A COUNTER TO THIS and the continuing public groundswell against the Congress, is clear proof that the public wants to ensure that there is no going back to the old wickedness. That's the background... Anyone who reads the Congress Manifesto knows it is a Manifesto of desperation with the signature of the Islamo Left written all over it. Any sensible citizen will know that the Manifesto is plainly hinting at: * Dividing Hindus on Caste Lines. * Outright unimplementable bribery [Rs 1 lakh to women] * And the references to redistribution in so many words, shorthand for concessions/subsidies whatever to Minorities. Dr. Manmohan Singh's words about Muslims having priority on India's resources merely re-inforces what the Congress has done in the past and WILL CONTINUE DOING, GIVEN A CHANCE. PM Modi's remarks may not have been in very good taste but there is no doubting the provocation for those 90 seconds of remarks, including Rahul G's speech ***********

[@shohinibanerjei9402]

For Congress the time has come as you sow so you reap

[@rameshchandrapanda5488]

At present the discussion cannot find any solution.let congress go to court.but definitely it is not good.for democracy.all paries should decide without election one is not to be declared as winner.let the rule be amended even for a panchayat election.

[@christabeljonathan9980]

Barkha I always admired you but you tarnished it down the drain because of you joining the lying group

Yashavantji despite having deepest regard for you i. must say you are talking something absurd . ypu are doubting the integrity of people at large who voted for him and those who didnt vote for BJP bcoz it is there prerogative to decide their candidate which 76% of total voters for decades decided and remaining 24% by keeping silent agrees with them

[@rameshchandrapanda5488]

Can you blame bjp for this.i think answer is no.why congress will not be blamed for creating such a situation and blaming bjp doing dictatorship.
