This week, host Anmol Pritam is joined by Newslaundry’s Pratyush Deep and Basant Kumar.

Pratyush profiled Railways minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, digging into the curious growth of his small firm. Within six years, its revenue rose from Rs 45 lakh to over Rs 323 crore. He also sheds light on his journey from an engineer to a minister.

Basant discusses his experiences reporting on the Delhi assembly polls. He explains what factors are working in favour of political parties and how leaders have changed the very functioning of elections over the past years. 

Tune in.
