TV Newsance 247: Kangana’s BJP break, Kejriwal arrest, electoral bonds blackout
Your weekly dose of all the insanity that passes off as news on TV.
Manisha is back this week, and so is Kangana. The actor returned to the news headlines as a politician, contesting in the Lok Sabha polls at Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi with a BJP ticket. But what does it take to play this role? We revisit her long audition to finally get this gig.
In other news, Kejriwal continues to be in jail with no interim relief from the courts so far, making him the second sitting non-BJP chief minister to be in custody after Hemant Soren.
Amid all this, discussions on electoral bonds remain missing.
