This week, host Shivnarayan Rajpurohit is joined by Newslaundry’s Basant Kumar and Drishti Choudhary.


Drishti reported on the crisis facing the Delhi Commission for Women. She says that at present, the commission does not have any office bearers, its helpline numbers are defunct, and many of the staffers and NGOs have not been paid for months.


Basant covered the Haryana elections and reported on the influence of Dera Sacha Sauda chief Ram Rahim on the polls. He talks about the political dynamics between different parties and workers on the ground and how Ram Rahim followers vote en bloc.
