TV Newsance 148: Modi ji’s Happy Birthday and Yogi’s Abba Jaan

We’re back with a wrap of everything on Hindi and English TV news this week. News channels celebrated Dear Leader prime minister Narendra Modi’s happy birthday this week. We didn’t even have to watch the coverage to critique it. Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Adityanath’s communal Abba Jaan jibe made news, and good old Amish Devgan jumped to his rescue.

We also look at Gaurav Bhatia, BJP spokesperson and former Samajwadi Party member, and his relevance to the TV news circus. Special mention of Aaj Tak for random graphics use.

Watch.
