Mani Shankar Aiyar Interview | Mani Shankar Aiyar On His New Book, 1991 Lok Sabha Elections & More

He has been consistent with his cherished goal to harm the country. We are told that the legacy continues with his daughters 🎉🎉

[@ksradhak]

mani mani. you are no saint. you have done your part of anti national anti hindu actions so many times. it is time for you to apologise to hindu socieety and remove your iyer tag for good reason

[@RS-yk1wu]

The Joker is here again to screw Congress. Whatever he says, would work good for BJP.😂😂😂😂

[@bakuljavadekar6767]

Mani was an arrogant, vain person. He met his match in Sonia Gandhi who is even more arrogant and vain. And more importantly she is more powerful too! One can understand his frustration. But it’s he himself who is responsible for his state. He believed that the patronage of Gandhi family will continue forever. Little did he realise that for them he was just a tool, a dispensable tool that was thrown away when his use was outweighed by liability. Now his condition is pitiable because he has no other credit in his account besides patronage of Gandhis!

[@rakeshkodavoor9707]

Well said. I could only add that his situation is closely similar to Kharge. Blind followers regret one day.

[@sanjaymathur6170]

He used to be most foul mouthed politician and part of family coterie. After getting kicked out by the family he has nowhere to go except writing about his own autobiography. His loaylty is with the family and not with Congress and ironically family has cold shouldered him.

[@sudevi786]

I came read the comments. I am very much satisfied 😂. When he opening his tea stall to serve tea to Indian PM Modi?? Karma is a boomerang mani Iyer realise now😂

[@sameermindydatta4139]

He is an asset, not for SCamgress but for BJP. Nation will be forever thankful to him big time for single handed destroying SCamgress

[@thandavanvaidyanathan7962]

😅 Patronage 😂 is his favorite word.

[@girishsathyanarayana2291]

Mani Shankar Iyer sidelined by congress and Subramanian Swamy sidelined by BJP must start a new political party and usher in maverick politics in the country.

[@sharmagub5433]

All his bhajan has gone waste...lesson to all the bhajaners of the family

[@nandukm]

He never believed in religion, but he respect christianity and Islam...not HIndu

[@sugannatarajan4507]

How an u waste 50 min. On an irrelevant person.. what’s his locus standi in politics today.. zero…

[@rajagopalannarayanan9364]

You are correct. He is an anti bharat person. Better to ignore this chameleon

I am here only to read the comments

[@kuhelichakrabarty]

This is the problem of most of the senior congress leaders. They don't have self dignity.

[@ashokmathur137]

No none is feeling sorry for this chap. The more he comes in media for such interviews the more he will face ridicule.

[@mohananv3311]

He is abusing hinduism and Hindus because he does not know nothing about the hinduism it's scriptures and culture even though he is carrying Iyer with him. He has done allthe damages to India and its people.

[@thandavanvaidyanathan7962]

😂😂if NDTV believes in your profession, please send two of your reporters to this fellow's constituency to know the truth..... how undeveloped, bad road , no lights , shrimp farming in unscientific way , .

Rahul gandhi is not useless as many think, he proved that he is not a fool by keeping this man away from congress!

Mani Shankar Aiyar ji, BJP is NOT a dumping ground to have accepted opportunists like you in this party. You deserve the treatment that you got from fake Gandhis.

Aiyar thought he was so special and loyal to Sonia that she would never treat him like a disposable napkin. Naam Rahul ka. Kaam Sonia ka! Aiyer is screaming when he found himself in the political waste bin.😂. He should wait for Rahul to join him soon. Sonia is ruthless.

[@ramnarayanagasthya1179]

Look who is talking about success 😂

[@subhabratachaudhury5985]

This Mani guy is so impossible! He is thanking Sonia for getting the ministerial berth at Rao's cabinet! There should be some limit of chamchagiri!

He was at the mercy of the Gandhi family…No political base of his own…A motor mouth who harmed the party whenever he opened his mouth…Good the Gandhis relieved themselves of this perpetual liability.

[@zxzxzxsw]

Mani Shankar Iyer and Subramanian Swamy are 2 sides of the same coin. They deserve to be wherever they are today as they are the most self centred people.

[@prasantkumardas483]

Rahul and Congress has done right thing for this person.The reason is obvious.

[@ArunKumar-dv8wu]

MJI is most selfish . After attcking Modiji he lost his political journey.. He is pro Pakistani and and anti Indian.. He is now beggining even his Mrs did not like it. He deseved punishment. He helped Modji to be PM by calling huim Chaiwala.

[@gsakumar1]

one of the person fulfilling the ambition of m.k.gandhi of dissolving congress party.

[@prashantchaturvedi8146]

He was one of the most arrogant, uncouth and foul mouthed leader. His jibe to offer Modi a tea shop outside Congreas office was what really catapulted Modis campaign. Hope he reemembers that lol.

[@suryanarayanadr8806]

Too much knowledge..but not rooted to ground..ploughing his own field..

[@U012behappy]

Guys before making any comments, please understand the relationship between Mani Aiyar and the late Rajiv Gandhi. They were together in Doon school, that’s how far back their relationship is. We need to be fair and sensible in our assessment of their relationship.

[@feku_kejruddin_raul]

Not "we', but "I" need to be fair... Nobody gives a ____ about these clowns....

[@barunmukherjee3361]

It's not surprising that it had to happen to you

[@ArunSharma-w3v]

Why does he not come up with the basic truth that politics in India is for sons and daughters of politicians sitting in the front row.

[@subhabratachaudhury5985]

This guy and Karan Thapar!

[@ManishKumar-zj5wq]

The bane of Indian politics are these fancy officers who thought they would use their connect with industrialists, which they describe as "credibility" (arm-twisting, as we know it for a long time) to boost up the economy of their constituency. At large these people do not like working hard with stakeholders; they thrive in creating unrealistic white paper for projects, pull a few strings to call a few influential capitalists, and expect development - all this without stepping out of their cocoon. Obviously the media loves people like him - they provide content and false promises of development for headlines. God protect India from such people.

[@proudtobeindian4799]

When Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated, not a single congress leader was next to him including this creature or Moopanar... why, what did they know

[@seshdwarakanath955]

Maybe, many of them were warned by Sonia Gandhi and her coterie to stay away.. What followed after that were puppets of Sonia running as leaders and still continuing today. Congress is on a steep slide down and will be come irrelevant after Sonia's times

Mani Shankar's wife is 100% correct. He has no self-respect or a sense of shame at his "sucker" existance for all these years! How he call himself a true democrat while accepting political positions for himself knowing fully well that they came out of sucking up to Gandhi Family and not out of democratic means!!! Thoroughly discredited man, and rightly so!!!

[@seemaarora7250]

When he got kicked by his own party he is blaming the party. He along with his daughter and congress party ran all possible anti India agenda. Now he is behaving like a Saint.

You had to put yourself out for sale because you were never competent and faithful enough to make the grade to be identified as a useful member of any party! Over a short period, your decay continued at an accelerated pace, resulting in Congress shoving you into the garbage bin to stop the fungus from spreading! I don't think you ever had a career; you were just thrown in here and there.

[@prreddy100]

In politics… you need to be submissive infront of your leaders and so on. Also your mouth can spoil your career growth. Mani is a classic example of how, his mouth has brought him down politically. His comments on Modi in 2014, 2019 and so on. He needs to blame himself for his downfall in politics.
