Superb interview 👍

[@uttamdatanvasi1744]

Really interesting😊

[@Victor-xw3ws]

I thought these guys were actually a unbiased channel. But these guys have proven to be just congress sympathisers. No matter how much we don't like BJP, it's still better than Congress. I hope i don't see a day where Rahul Gandhi is PM, that ll be some disaster. Anyone but Modi philosophy has 1 exception. Anyone but Modi but please not Rahul Gandhi, I can't be lead by a person who I won't even hire in my company

[@surajgauraksh2796]

Rahul Gandhi will prove himself as the best pm mark my words during modi's first term i used to support bjp then till 2022 i supported aap but after bharat jodi yatra i became a staunch congress supporter . According to me he is the most humble and down to earth politician after mr vajpayee

[@Victor-xw3ws]

@@surajgauraksh2796 yeah he probably is a great guy. Humble, nice and many other qualities but he's not that smart, and it's really obvious to other smart people. When the majority of the nation thinks they are smarter than someone, do you think they ll choose him to be our leader. I really don't know why he is even an option, just because he is son of a PM

[@msasports737]

I agree Rahul Gandhi isnt the right person to be PM with the way current Indian politics is. But RG is an Harward graduate and is a very honest and competent personality outside of politics. I don't know what business you do, but I would definitely love to have a person like Rahul Gamdhi in my workspace

[@Victor-xw3ws]

@@msasports737 obviously that was an exaggeration to make a point. But being intelligent doesn't mean smart. In our normal life we can clearly see who is a leader/leaders in a group as they have a pulse of everyone and are able to connect on some level to everyone/large-majority. He doesn't seem to have that grasp, you just don't feel that he is that important just like in a group setting, you know who commands respect. He comes across as 'the guy' who doesnt offend anyone and is the '4 am friend' for girls 😂.

Rarely get to see these sort of healthy conversations! Great job guys! Left or right, maintaining sanity is more important rather than being abusive, as the trend is these days.

[@FarhanAmin1994]

I don't see where the supposed window dressing here is. First off, Neeraja ji clearly says that there is an element of 'conjecture' to the remarks on the late Sanjay ji. Thereafter, she also speaks about the late Indira ji’s 'ideological flip flops'. If one looks at history, there are bound to be some favourable judgments and some disapprovals. I saw more of the latter here. If anything, Shri Shekhar Gupta was all praises for late Shri Vajpayee ji in some of his videos for The Print. That fawning tone is lacking here.
