Reporters Without Orders Ep 249: The 2022 mandate and road to 2024
A reporters’ podcast about what made news and what shouldn’t have.
This week, it’s an all-Newslaundry panel as Ayush Tiwari is joined by Basant Kumar and Akanksha Kumar.
The conversation begins with the Gujarat poll results as Basant recalls his observations in Gujarat, including his visits to villages which have declared themselves a part of “Hindu Rashtra”.
The discussion moves to the MCD election as Akanksha dissects the mandate and how voting preferences differed according to voters’ age and socio-economic status. They also talk about the unprecedented attention to the civic polls in Delhi, and whether it’s a dry run for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
This and a lot more as they talk about what made news, what didn’t, and what shouldn’t have.
Tune in.
