What journalists failed to grill the Congress president about.
Transcript:
In a recent episode of Swarajya Standard, we told you how the media, especially the Delhi media, had an agenda against Modi and were eager to push the idea of Rahul Gandhi as a credible alternative to him.
As part of that, we told you how the two leaders faced contrasting difficulty of questions. More often than not, Rahul was at the receiving end of softballs while Modi had to answer for Rafale, unemployment, demonetisation, GST, etc.hol
If you haven’t seen the video already, we’ll link it at the end of this video.
We believe that the media should hold those in power accountable, whether they are in government or opposition. This exercise is critical for any democracy.
But shouldn’t the standards be the same for both Rahul and Modi?
If Modi is bound to answer for his performance, and for allegations made against him, so is Rahul, who aspires to be the prime minister.
So, if the mainstream media won’t do it, we will. Here are ten questions that any serious journalist would have grilled Rahul Gandhi on but failed to.
And that’s about it. As simple as that. From Rahul’s responses to these questions, wouldn’t you, the voter, be better equipped to make a choice?
