This week, Newslaundry’s Manisha Pande, Jayashree Arunachalam, Raman Kirpal, and Anand Vardhan are joined by Newslaundry reporter Prateek Goyal.

On the revealing interview of Ajit Pawar with Sreenivasan Jain, Manisha says, “It has always been implied that Adani was present at these meetings and that he plays an important part in Maharashtra politics. Ajit Pawar also very casually says this.” She then asks, “Could he have said all this without thinking of repercussions?” 

Raman says, “Adani is a dirty word in politics. Congress also keeps talking about Adani. They always weaponise it to tarnish the image of the BJP. I think he [Ajit] just wanted to have a dig at his uncle [Sharad Pawar] who at this point of time is supporting Congress.”

This and a lot more. Tune in!
