'Abhi se haar man li' ? Frustrated over Opposition failure, Rajdeep Sardesai accepts Narendra Modi's victory in 2024 Election
08 Feb 2024 12:58:47
It appears that in the face of mounting frustration over the inability of the Congress party and its leader to make a dent in Narendra Modi-led government, coupled with the dissolution of their alliances within the INDIA block, Rajdeep Sardesai, a prominent left-leaning intellectual journalist and Editor of India Today, has reluctantly acknowledged the defeat of the opposition.
During the LIVE debate Rajdeep Sardesai, accepted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going to win for yet another term in the coming 2024 election, even before the Election Commision announced the date for Lok Sabha Election.
He said, "BJP as of today is poised to get its highest ever tally in a Lok Sabha election."
In a bid to deflect from the inability of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to counter Modi's influence, Sardesai attempted to shift blame onto news channels for the anticipated victory of the BJP in 2024. Rajdeep who was unable to hide his frustration, said that 'Democratic Newsroom' should be replaced with 'Single-party Newsroom' for drum-beating about the likely victory of the BJP in the upcoming polls.
"I don't want to get into numbers I believe that the BJP as of today is poised to get its highest ever tally in a Lok Sabha election That's about all I'm willing to say, but I'm amazed and amused by the drumbeat that we have It's almost that you've decided in democracy. Why call it a democratic newsroom? "
Rahul Kanwal exposed this hypocrite of Rajdeep
During the debate Rahul Kanwal wasted no time in exposing Sardesai's hypocrisy, shedding light on the 'veteran' journalist's prejudice and penchant for blame-shifting onto newsrooms. He said, "It's been on social media Rajdeep and I together were at a lunch hosted by a Congress leader this morning. This is an annual lunch. Every single Congress leader I spoke to is discussing the inevitability of the BJP's victory and the fact that they're reconciled to defeat. Their family members are cursing the Congress leadership and are totally non-optimistic about their fortunes. And Rajdeep, you are blaming television news channels. "
“To call it a drumbeat is a wrong way of describing what’s at play. In sephology, it is called the winning bandwagon effect. Of course, this will play out till May. If everyone starts to believe that the BJP is coming back to power, it is possible that the BJP, Modi, Shah, or anybody could have willed the kind of performance they will end up with. What if the opponents already decide they have no hope in hell of winning? Look at the way the I.N.D.I. alliance is disintegrating, Rajdeep, for you to blame news channels is completely irresponsible and unacceptable,” Kanwal further elucidates.
It should be noted that Rajdeep has been suferring from a huge meltdown since the Ram Mandir Inauguration. A day after Ram Lalla's pranpatishthapana, Rajdeep Sardesai predicts clean sweep of BJP in Lok Sabha election. He also said that PM's popularity has presently increased more due the Ram Lalla pranpatishthapana, as compared to another landmark decision of his government, for the Balakot Air Strike of 2019. He also added that Modi has now emerged as a Nationalist Hero.
He said, "Ram Temple has taken PM's popularity to a even higher level than peak Balakot In 2019, PM Modi was seen to be a Muscular Nationalist Hero but now he is being coronated almost as a Hindu King"
