Mani Shankar Iyer is a well-meaning Congressman. But he is not diplomatic and sometimes shoots from the mouth without thinking of the consequences. I love his openness in his opinions. ❤
Mani lives in La La Land. He actually believes the tag of Corruption on the Congress in UPA II was unjust. He must be the only person in India who believes that.
Yes it was unjust. proove it in the court of law. Neither 2g nor coal scam accused went to jail. All are in parliament now. BJP gained momentum because of Anna Hazare and India against corruption capmiagn. Then we were talking about corruption and issues in governance. Today what we are talking about Love jihad, land jihad, mandir jihad, kunba jihad what not. BJP has all kind of corruption with it. I cannot proove it so its a holy cow. Same goes to congress. The level of intellect of indians have gone down. Everyone today talks against each other religion. This is what on our politics is going. think of yourself the kind of situation we are today and how PR of BJP has changed the thought process of indians. We do not talk about basic infrastructural issues but religion only. Whatever you think does not matter. In the past we were in a gobar tank now we are in a gutter. We are mentally bankrupt society. Its not just BJP Congress. Its what the people have become. politicians were always like this. Utter corrupt and bastards. When public becomes more corrupt then is the time we need to think more.
What a beautiful and lucid conversation with Manishankar Aiyar. Feeling terrible about dissing him based on the media's biased reporting of him and for not believing Deshbhakt as a true patriot for attacking Mamata Banerjee, who I believe can truly bring India out of Modi's clutches. Thanks again for this episode.

It will be fun to see to what extent BJP promotes Inter-Caste Marriages & removes the other 6 Shackles of Hindu Society identified by Savarkar...

100 percent true.. they (inc) cannot strike the real issue anytime. their sole motive is to oppose anything that is done by bjp. i think the revival of congress lies in the fact that they should stop internal party corruption and give chance to new and competent leaders of congress.

A masterclass on how an intelligent person becomes a slave to a family. An excellent darbari who will go to any lengths to convince and delude himself that one particular family should always head a political party in a democracy !
It would be helpful for Mani Shankar Aiyar to wake up from his daydream. Even after 11 years past the UPA II he is unable to recognize and identify the Corruption of the Congress.
The main difference between BJP and Congress is that we don't know who will be the main leader of BJP after 20 years but we know that the main leader of congress will be a person of having surname Vadra.
Exactly that is the hit reason. There is lavel playing field in BJP, anyone who will work hard will climb up, but not in congress. How can a party claim to represent democracy when it's internal structure is not democratic.
In 2014, 59% of Indians had no access to sanitation. Just think of it in actual numbers 760 million Indians had literally not seen the inside of a running toilet or bathroom.
Also, thanks Akash Banerjee for the length of the podcast/interview, hope you will make longer formats like these, it just gives a lot of nuance to the underlying problems, and gives the guest enough time tk deliver their points!
I wonder how this man served in External Affairs Ministry - He is in his own world (Calling Pakistan as the most friendly country after 26/11 and harbouring terrorists and giving safe haven to Dawood). He is not able to differentiate between the elites who would like to hobnob with each other to the deepstate within which does not want to make it easy for India. I feel far more comfortable living under Modi than MMS. Also Mr Iyer, should have the discretion - what not to say in public fora and what is apt to say only in private conversation. He still resorting to justify. God bless him !
Why did the Congress fail to stop the constant conflicts between our 2 countries .The West has no idea of our true history . They blame Barath for wanting to take back Kashmir that rightfully belongs to her.
I think the party who changed the preamble unconstitutionally. And impose an emergency on the country. Should not be allowed to talk about democracy and the constitution.
Can u elaborate what changes they did in the preamble in 1976, which went against the values already listed in the original constitution since the beginning?
@@Ram_Mohammad_Singh_Adam if that is written in constitution. Why is it added when the state is in an emergency. And secularism is for govt not for people how hindu Or muslim person can say I am secular. No, you are not secular you are practice a religion. The word secular came from Britain where the word secular is added. So, that church would not intervene in govt affairs. So, the word should not be added to preamble it should remain in the constitution for the purpose of the govt. Next is socialist this word also came from the West. The word socialist is used for the USSR where everything is controlled by the govt. I think Mrs. Gandhi wants to control all the things. In a socialist state business men cannot do business. It's the government who did all the things. If someone is doing business, then also the state will not help them instead of that the abuse them. During the formation of constitution some people in constitution assembly demanded to add this two words but baba saheb didn't allow them by saying that this words are not needed. But Mrs gandhi added them without discussion in Parliament. During state emergency.

Well done, The Deshbhakt! So many difficult questions asked! Brilliantly grilled Mr MSA! Amusing interview! He stopped himself criticizing the Queen and the Prince carefully throughout the interview. Hope MSA got some peace after this interview. Contentment! Wow what a feeling 😂
Mani shankar Aiyar well educated person and always speaks from his heart. Present Congress leadership may have kept him in distance, he always stood and believed in Nehruvian era policies. Present regime believes in hatred against Muslim and Pakistan. But one should understand it is not good for the peace and development of India to hate and reject more than 20 crore Indian muslims.
Nehruvian era policies like socialism which kept us a poor country, not improving the armed forces of the country, not completing the population exchange between India and Pakistan, losing PoK, losing Aksai Chin, almost losing Hyderabad, not doing anything about Portugese occupation of Goa for 15 years, dissolving state governments at a whim, awarding yourself a Bharat Ratna....... the list goes on.
@sschaubal Why do you expect India's first prime minister to not make any mistakes?? Compare his achievements to all other politicians in the history of India & see what his achievements to mistakes ratio is. Socialism was important to bridge the gap between poor & rich, capitalist economy would've been disastrous, & communist is kind of impossible to apply here.
@@anantverma3428 Socialism was important to bridge the gap between rich and poor? Says who? Singapore and South Korea were fishing and farming societies until the 70's and 90's respectively. Japan too was a feudal and closed society but transformed into a developed nation within 40 years. All this happened without first adopting socialism. Socialism is a failed concept all over the world. It is adopted by only those societies where poverty runs rampant and the people are lied about it's benefits and beguiled into adopting it. It is always accompanied by large scale corruption, inefficiencies, wastage, freeebies, concessions, monopoly and underdevelopment.
The Competition would always be between 2 types of People. One who believe in The Idea of India Vs Those who don't/ have no history in the freedom struggle.
Define 'Idea of India'. Who gets to set what it is? Also, pray tell what would comprise of 'the freedom struggle'? Was fighting the Islamic invaders a part of the freedom struggle or is it limited to freedom from British rule only? Was Nehru really struggling/ fighting for freedom? Or should indulging in soft diplomacy be considered as fighting for freedom? Boss, it is easy to make blanket statements. You won't be able to answer any of these questions convincingly.
You mean to say the progeny of a criminal will be destined to be criminal, same way as a party with a history in independence is the sole flag bearer of independence
@rishabhbangera ji uss hisab se to Ambedkar ji ka bhi freedom struggle me koi yogdan nahi tha. Wo to angrezo ko rok rahe the ki aap chale gaye to humara kya hoga aur Mahar caste jis se wo belong karte the Unke Pitaji aur Dadaji bhi British army me the aur wo to angrezo ke dulare the. To unka bhi to kuch freedom struggle me naam hi nahi hai to unko na maane kya
@@sschaubal The idea of India is to make a sovereign socialist secular democratic republic. The people who fought for freedom also supported this idea which won't leave any sect of the country behind, that's why they got to set it. Yes fighting islamic invaders was also a part of this struggle. Unfortunately the people who fought them are dead. Yes Nehru was fighting for freedom through diplomacy. Everyone involved in the freedom struggle one way or another is a freedom fighter. After freedom, it was only due to his visionary thinking that gave India a head start. Anything else, Boss?
Congress was in power for almost 70 years and still couldn't resolve the Kashmir issue. While BJP's methods may be controversial, they have brought peace to the valley. Sometimes, it's better to achieve results through imperfect methods than to achieve nothing at all. As Mr. Mani Shankar said, 60% of the population rejected the BJP, but he overlooked the fact that 90% of the population has discarded the Congress. Instead of constantly criticizing the BJP, he should focus more on the revival of his own party.
@@thehound1169 yeah only 6 years, right ? Doesn’t change the fact that the BJp either under Vajpayee or Modi received the Kashmir issue as inheritance. Modi alone deserves credit for whatever reforms he conducted post 2019
You seems to live in the world of your own.Congress infact ruled for 56 years not 70 years.india is independent for 77 years.peace in kashmir is still not there.Modi has thrown out all foreign media agencies and do not let indian news to report the factual situation in kashmir.India fell 50 points on press freedom index.So, if you don't get the information does not mean all is well
To get the manipulative view of the crisis? Why not ask them to invite Bimol Akoijam who is a Human Rights activist? Because he doesn't stick to your blind idea of hate just like how germans hated jews. You guys are blinded by Biren.
Was waiting for some sensible talk from both. Stopped waiting for anything relevant and sensible from either. May God give them sense. Why would one want to read either of them.
It's Pappus' dream now as he realised he cannot win elections to become PM he and his party are willing to disintegrate Bharat to make him PM by partition of country
Great discussion! It's a pity the Congress party chose to ignore him rather than listen to him. I'm sure the introspection report on Congress defeats in 1999 would make for fascinating reading and analysis. A Facebook friend told me how, after fulfilling the conditions laid down by Patel, Golwalker wanted the Congress to accept RSS men as members. What Mr Aiyar says about Purshottamdas Tandon wanting to follow this policy confirms the story I read earlier and did not quite believe. Another issue that needs investigation--and has been raised by The Wire in an article--is the relationship between the RSS-BJP and Israel's consulates and embassy. Since this government is so exercised about George Soros and Sonia Gandhi's/the Congress' alleged ties to him, perhaps the RSS/BJP ties to Israel, a foreign power, need to be examined. To what extent is RSS/BJP media policy influenced by the Hasbara, Israel's PR wing? What role are Russian and Israeli expats playing in Goa's economy? I've heard of Goan beaches that are no-go areas for Indians. Neither the BJP state government nor the central government has done anything to change this.
Congress needs to stand not just with garib but also with Dalits, SC, ST, minorities an well as middle class (who are also suffering in Modi's "New India"), business class who are suffering due to faulty GST AND with honest industrial houses who are suffering because of cronies like Adani, Ambani, Jindal, 'Ha'Ramdev etc. *Hence "aam admi" is more appropriate word.*

Singur oppression in 2006, Tatas obtained a bonanza. More than 900 acres of fertile lands in Singur, near Kolkata, were handed over to Tata Motors by the West Bengal government. Farmers, many of whom opposed the handover of their lands to Tata, faced severe pushback. Goaded by Tatas, the West Bengal government took heavy action against Singur farmers and their supporters, converting this once peaceful village into a war zone with a round-the-clock presence of armed police providing protection to Tata Motors' site and workers.
This conversation indicates a few things: 1) There is a coterie around Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi who have become arrogant and who show cozy picture at the ground level to the duo. 2) That the intellectuals in the party are being sidelined. 3) That there is inertia in the party because of which the reports be it introspection, formulation of policy and discussion etc have become obsolete. 4) Too old and too young bluff is dooming Rahul. 5) If the state of affairs remains as it is, congress may win a general election after 50 years or after a century.
Hey akash ...i am a regular viewer or your videos and rely on you for details and tru perspective of any incident ...but today i am personally not happy with this guest ..he is a educated person but he ideologies are not well enough...he called modi a lower caste...he justified terror attacks in france as a reply of hijab banning...many times his own party distanced from his statement...he is now showing his opportunistic mindset despite of supporting the fragile congress....i think its better not to have such distorted mindset...
The problem this man has is that he believes that he is superior to everyone and his views are the penultimate truth. I don't think he has any fanbase either.
Why india instead of being secular and constitutional country don't give right to muslims ...in other words snatch muslim rights like CAA/NRC...Waqf board...mob lynching..Muslim hate speech....bulldozing muslim houses ...guju ri*ots and many more ect.... ???? Why ? Everyone who don't believe in this secular constitution should get out of this country immediately....@@HemantGupta-u8s
Normally you are a sensible guy..althought there is a hint of bias against the govt..but can let that slide as you do bring about very valid points. But Mani Shankar Aiyar...come on bro...he doesnt have standing in his own party and will not be able to win an election anywhere any more..
This is what i don’t like about Congress. They are organisation weakest. Someone like Mani who is a staunch supporter of Congress should never be side lined.
I think they lack a proper organized work and a lack of proper leadership. I believe Dr. Tharoor would've made the party awesome. Same could be said about Sachin Pilot who don't get their dues.
Good that he has been shown the right place, where he actually belongs to, by the decisive Congress leadership of today. God bless him with good health and happiness.
What the heck, He is the only one in the whole world who praises pak foreign service. As usual Ab didn't ask any tough questions and allowed his free rant. Shame on him for believing pak instead of indian army
Excellent tete a tete. Aiyar is a true intellectual in a polity today which is largely ruled by lumpen murky elements. As a very old person, I regret today that Rajiv's assassination changed India's history for the worse.(Even though PVNRao-NarasimhaRao duo were very good). "A lie stated several times becomes the truth"---This was Goebbel's line and it was Indira's line as well, which young Indians do not know. It is followed by all rulers to confuse the common man and ensure their own power He has also not clearly said that the BJP of today is like the Indira Congress of yore (except for the Hindutva stuff)
I might disagree somewhat with Mr. Iyer. I think the transition of PM Narasimha Rao was critical for India. However Congress failed to capitalize those gains into long term plans. At this point, Congress feels like a party with no planning and a rotting structure
Mani Shankar ji… I think you are so out of touch with the current situation in the country… you seem almost self focused. That is not good… because it gives that elite status feeling that people are feeling alienated from
Brilliant interview....provided detailed version of Mani shankar sir and the view of congress and how the Pakistan India border diplomacy solution. Thanks to deshbhakt for bringing him. Also get more interviews as the questions you ask are great and help us to know much in detail about the person and his experience.
If it is so Then congress would have never won after 1993 and jp should be in Countinous power But everything is foreign managed kya bjp kya congress Economic & foreign policy always favours ameri cans Is reason for election victory or defeat The one who is ready to now more wins
Instead of doing dynasty politics, they need to start giving some importance to their grass root workers. Look for fresh talent and give chance to deserving people. If we look at current breed of congress leaders and workers, we only see corrupts, boot lickers, free mongers (created by congress over past 6 decades), extremist with anti national views and idiots. Few honest people having credibility are completely overshadowed in this crowd and do not get a chance to even voice their opinion.
Learned a lot about congress 1. Congress Pride came before the fall, their hostile behaviour and lack of communication has made them pay a very heavy price and just not congress, ppl of india are suffering too 2. Congress got complacent 3. Congress sound like very sensitive ppl who get triggered by one liners/opinions 4. Ppl who are straightforward and high on integrity has no place in congress, they will treated as alien, no wonder why Congress is going through what they are going through!! Mani deserved/deserves much better. Period! Learn to except ppl with flaws, few mistakes should never define years of hardwork done by someone for the team...communication fixes almost all issues which anyway is normally self inflicted!! It is called Maturity!!
Nsg commando and R&AW agent lucky bisht had also said how congress ministers and diplomates compromised several agents in pakistan and Iran. Yaar bjp kitni bhi buri ho atleast terrorist sympathizers to nahi hai, with surgical strikes we proved that hum chup rehne walo me se nahi hai, meanwhile congress after 26/11- ye rss ne karvaya 🤡🤡

I feel far more comfortable living under Modi than MMS. Also Mr Iyer, should have the discretion - what not to say in public fora and what is apt to say only in private conversation. He still resorting to justify. God bless him !

Why did the Congress fail to stop the constant conflicts between our 2 countries .The West has no idea of our true history . They blame Barath for wanting to take back Kashmir that rightfully belongs to her.

I think the party who changed the preamble unconstitutionally. And impose an emergency on the country. Should not be allowed to talk about democracy and the constitution.
Right said
Can u elaborate what changes they did in the preamble in 1976, which went against the values already listed in the original constitution since the beginning?
@Ram_Mohammad_Singh_Adam what, 1976 constitution change know as mini constitution. Tell me about, why 1976 amdenment known as mini constitution
@@ranjitkumarsahoo8818 question for a question!! Typical tactics used by people who know nothing😒
@@Ram_Mohammad_Singh_Adam if that is written in constitution. Why is it added when the state is in an emergency. And secularism is for govt not for people how hindu Or muslim person can say I am secular. No, you are not secular you are practice a religion. The word secular came from Britain where the word secular is added. So, that church would not intervene in govt affairs. So, the word should not be added to preamble it should remain in the constitution for the purpose of the govt.
Next is socialist this word also came from the West. The word socialist is used for the USSR where everything is controlled by the govt. I think Mrs. Gandhi wants to control all the things. In a socialist state business men cannot do business. It's the government who did all the things. If someone is doing business, then also the state will not help them instead of that the abuse them.
During the formation of constitution some people in constitution assembly demanded to add this two words but baba saheb didn't allow them by saying that this words are not needed.
But Mrs gandhi added them without discussion in Parliament. During state emergency.

Well done, The Deshbhakt! So many difficult questions asked! Brilliantly grilled Mr MSA!
Amusing interview! He stopped himself criticizing the Queen and the Prince carefully throughout the interview. Hope MSA got some peace after this interview.
Contentment! Wow what a feeling 😂
Mani shankar Aiyar well educated person and always speaks from his heart. Present Congress leadership may have kept him in distance, he always stood and believed in Nehruvian era policies. Present regime believes in hatred against Muslim and Pakistan. But one should understand it is not good for the peace and development of India to hate and reject more than 20 crore Indian muslims.
Nehruvian era policies like socialism which kept us a poor country, not improving the armed forces of the country, not completing the population exchange between India and Pakistan, losing PoK, losing Aksai Chin, almost losing Hyderabad, not doing anything about Portugese occupation of Goa for 15 years, dissolving state governments at a whim, awarding yourself a Bharat Ratna....... the list goes on.
Hatred about Pakistan is live what is wrong in that
@sschaubal Why do you expect India's first prime minister to not make any mistakes?? Compare his achievements to all other politicians in the history of India & see what his achievements to mistakes ratio is. Socialism was important to bridge the gap between poor & rich, capitalist economy would've been disastrous, & communist is kind of impossible to apply here.
@@anantverma3428 Socialism was important to bridge the gap between rich and poor? Says who? Singapore and South Korea were fishing and farming societies until the 70's and 90's respectively. Japan too was a feudal and closed society but transformed into a developed nation within 40 years. All this happened without first adopting socialism. Socialism is a failed concept all over the world. It is adopted by only those societies where poverty runs rampant and the people are lied about it's benefits and beguiled into adopting it. It is always accompanied by large scale corruption, inefficiencies, wastage, freeebies, concessions, monopoly and underdevelopment.
@sschaubal you can't just cherry pick cases & try to trash whole socialist idea. Corruption has to be dealt with.
A scintillating conversation....thank you to both.
Very insightful... Hope the party picks up a tip or two for better leverage in the near future.
Thank you for this interview!

The Competition would always be between 2 types of People. One who believe in The Idea of India Vs Those who don't/ have no history in the freedom struggle.
Define 'Idea of India'. Who gets to set what it is? Also, pray tell what would comprise of 'the freedom struggle'? Was fighting the Islamic invaders a part of the freedom struggle or is it limited to freedom from British rule only? Was Nehru really struggling/ fighting for freedom? Or should indulging in soft diplomacy be considered as fighting for freedom? Boss, it is easy to make blanket statements. You won't be able to answer any of these questions convincingly.
You mean to say the progeny of a criminal will be destined to be criminal, same way as a party with a history in independence is the sole flag bearer of independence
@rishabhbangera ji uss hisab se to Ambedkar ji ka bhi freedom struggle me koi yogdan nahi tha. Wo to angrezo ko rok rahe the ki aap chale gaye to humara kya hoga aur Mahar caste jis se wo belong karte the Unke Pitaji aur Dadaji bhi British army me the aur wo to angrezo ke dulare the. To unka bhi to kuch freedom struggle me naam hi nahi hai to unko na maane kya
@@sschaubal The idea of India is to make a sovereign socialist secular democratic republic. The people who fought for freedom also supported this idea which won't leave any sect of the country behind, that's why they got to set it. Yes fighting islamic invaders was also a part of this struggle. Unfortunately the people who fought them are dead. Yes Nehru was fighting for freedom through diplomacy. Everyone involved in the freedom struggle one way or another is a freedom fighter. After freedom, it was only due to his visionary thinking that gave India a head start. Anything else, Boss?
@@anantverma3428 interesting kind of head start he gave, for people who could, to leave the country in a hurry.

Thanks Mr.Nair, for slapping this man on his face and standing up for the poor and middle class of rhis country🎉
After listening to whole podcast, i 100% disagree with his point of view about Pakistan 😭🙏
Congress was in power for almost 70 years and still couldn't resolve the Kashmir issue. While BJP's methods may be controversial, they have brought peace to the valley. Sometimes, it's better to achieve results through imperfect methods than to achieve nothing at all.
As Mr. Mani Shankar said, 60% of the population rejected the BJP, but he overlooked the fact that 90% of the population has discarded the Congress. Instead of constantly criticizing the BJP, he should focus more on the revival of his own party.
Why do these 70 years guys, always forget the rule of BJP before the 2014 thing???

Please note that the Disintegration of India is Absolutely A Ridiculous Speculation & Figment of Imagination of Senior citizen Mr.Mani Shankar Aiyar☝️
It's Pappus' dream now as he realised he cannot win elections to become PM he and his party are willing to disintegrate Bharat to make him PM by partition of country
Nda got 40%+ votes in modi era...60% indians didnt vote for him. Congress UPA got 10%+ votes...90% of indians didnt vote for congress....word play
Great discussion! It's a pity the Congress party chose to ignore him rather than listen to him. I'm sure the introspection report on Congress defeats in 1999 would make for fascinating reading and analysis.
A Facebook friend told me how, after fulfilling the conditions laid down by Patel, Golwalker wanted the Congress to accept RSS men as members. What Mr Aiyar says about Purshottamdas Tandon wanting to follow this policy confirms the story I read earlier and did not quite believe.
Another issue that needs investigation--and has been raised by The Wire in an article--is the relationship between the RSS-BJP and Israel's consulates and embassy. Since this government is so exercised about George Soros and Sonia Gandhi's/the Congress' alleged ties to him, perhaps the RSS/BJP ties to Israel, a foreign power, need to be examined. To what extent is RSS/BJP media policy influenced by the Hasbara, Israel's PR wing? What role are Russian and Israeli expats playing in Goa's economy? I've heard of Goan beaches that are no-go areas for Indians. Neither the BJP state government nor the central government has done anything to change this.

Congress needs to stand not just with garib but also with Dalits, SC, ST, minorities an well as middle class (who are also suffering in Modi's "New India"), business class who are suffering due to faulty GST AND with honest industrial houses who are suffering because of cronies like Adani, Ambani, Jindal, 'Ha'Ramdev etc.

Kyu tata kyu nahi ?
If Tata gets special favours then Tata too.
@rarcasm 😂😂😂
Tata was corrupt, murderer and a crony @@Baadshahji006
@@Baadshahji006Here are five notable crimes by Tata group
1st Grabbing tribal lands
In 2000,Tata Steel bulldozed a spring that was the only source of water for the indigenous people of Agaria Tola, a 22 household hamlet on the periphery of Tata’s coal mines
2nd Poisoning water bodies
Government singled out the chromite mines in Sukhinda Valley as a highly polluted area. Tatas are one of the largest mining companies in the valley
The Domsala River system through this valley are contaminated with dangerous levels of hexavalent chromium
Hexavalent chromium causes irritation of the respiratory tract, nasal septum ulcers, irritant dermatitis rhinitis, bronchospasm and pneumonia
3rd Gua Massacre
On 7 September,1980, villagers whose lands were taken over to accommodate a Tata aerodrome in Noamundi went to the aerodrome to confront then Tata Steel chairman Russi Mody nd present him a memo
Tatas & others pressed the Gov to take action against tribals
On 8 September firing against innocent tribals in the Gua marketsquare, and the subsequent killing of 8 unarmed tribals inside a hospital was the “strict action” that was taken to quell tribal discontent
4th Kalinganagar Massacre
On January 2, 2006, a police battalion armed to teeth opened fire into a crowd of tribal villagers in kalinganagar, Orissa The tribal people were protesting the illegal construnction of a compound wall by Tata steel owned by them
5. Singur oppression in 2006, Tatas obtained a bonanza. More than 900 acres of fertile lands in Singur, near Kolkata, were handed over to Tata Motors by the West Bengal government. Farmers, many of whom opposed the handover of their lands to Tata, faced severe pushback. Goaded by Tatas, the West Bengal government took heavy action against Singur farmers and their supporters, converting this once peaceful village into a war zone with a round-the-clock presence of armed police providing protection to Tata Motors' site and workers.

Deshbhakt wants to make congress relevant again😂
This conversation indicates a few things:
1) There is a coterie around Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi who have become arrogant and who show cozy picture at the ground level to the duo.
2) That the intellectuals in the party are being sidelined.
3) That there is inertia in the party because of which the reports be it introspection, formulation of policy and discussion etc have become obsolete.
4) Too old and too young bluff is dooming Rahul.
5) If the state of affairs remains as it is, congress may win a general election after 50 years or after a century.
Or replace by another party being opposition
Hey akash ...i am a regular viewer or your videos and rely on you for details and tru perspective of any incident ...but today i am personally not happy with this guest ..he is a educated person but he ideologies are not well enough...he called modi a lower caste...he justified terror attacks in france as a reply of hijab banning...many times his own party distanced from his statement...he is now showing his opportunistic mindset despite of supporting the fragile congress....i think its better not to have such distorted mindset...
The problem this man has is that he believes that he is superior to everyone and his views are the penultimate truth.
I don't think he has any fanbase either.

Wonderful interview
This man disrespects the army to satisfy his ego. World has taught him a good lesson. He is not good at learning from those lessons.
great episode!
This is what i don’t like about Congress. They are organisation weakest. Someone like Mani who is a staunch supporter of Congress should never be side lined.
I think they lack a proper organized work and a lack of proper leadership.
I believe Dr. Tharoor would've made the party awesome.
Same could be said about Sachin Pilot who don't get their dues.
Good that he has been shown the right place, where he actually belongs to, by the decisive Congress leadership of today. God bless him with good health and happiness.
What the heck, He is the only one in the whole world who praises pak foreign service.
As usual Ab didn't ask any tough questions and allowed his free rant.
Shame on him for believing pak instead of indian army
How can he ask he is the puppy of Congress just like godi media
sometimes, u must allow the truth .
Excellent tete a tete. Aiyar is a true intellectual in a polity today which is largely ruled by lumpen murky elements. As a very old person, I regret today that Rajiv's assassination changed India's history for the worse.(Even though PVNRao-NarasimhaRao duo were very good).
"A lie stated several times becomes the truth"---This was Goebbel's line and it was Indira's line as well, which young Indians do not know. It is followed by all rulers to confuse the common man and ensure their own power
He has also not clearly said that the BJP of today is like the Indira Congress of yore (except for the Hindutva stuff)
I might disagree somewhat with Mr. Iyer. I think the transition of PM Narasimha Rao was critical for India. However Congress failed to capitalize those gains into long term plans. At this point, Congress feels like a party with no planning and a rotting structure
i agree...
Even Aiyar admits it
Great interview

Instead of doing dynasty politics, they need to start giving some importance to their grass root workers. Look for fresh talent and give chance to deserving people. If we look at current breed of congress leaders and workers, we only see corrupts, boot lickers, free mongers (created by congress over past 6 decades), extremist with anti national views and idiots. Few honest people having credibility are completely overshadowed in this crowd and do not get a chance to even voice their opinion.

Ppl who are straightforward and high on integrity has no place in congress, they will treated as alien, no wonder why Congress is going through what they are going through!!
Mani deserved/deserves much better. Period!
