Published 1 day ago
Description
First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Asad Rehman about the INDIA bloc’s rally demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation, its “public impeachment” campaign, and the BJP’s counter-mobilisation in Delhi.
Next, we speak to The Indian Express’ Mihir Vasavda about PV Sindhu and Lakshya Sen’s title-winning performances at the Hylo Open, the withdrawal of government funding for India’s European badminton campaign, and its impact on players. (10:00)
And in the end, we look at the BMC’s removal of a Diwali pollution-awareness video featuring Dia Mirza following objections from BJP leaders, even as similar campaign videos featuring other celebrities remained online. (22:50)
