Sir This was the same person who as CM - MP had allowed Warren Anderson to flee Bhopal after the terrible gas leak incident . Further let’s not forget the Churhat lottery scam and Kerwa dam corruption case . At all point of time - Gandhi parivar shielded this man . And he could roam Scot free !
Bang on, brother.But Shekhar Gupta type journalists will only try to remember such times because only one party had monopoly back then along with his type of "journalism". 😂😂😂😂
to be more accurate, quintessential dynasty boot licker....not one word on letting criminlas of union carbide go away.. lookslike coupta also got house from arjun singh. Such a shameless coward
This episode subtly throws light on two aspects. First how dishonest the fourth estate always has been to their journalistic dharma that they succumb to minor bribery (please see the hostility towards the current govt in context). Secondly what a corrupt, unscrupulous Gandhi arse licker Arjun Singh was.
As a common lower middle class person growing up in 70s, 80s and 90s, I really think this politician's contribution to economy, growth etc. is minimal (what matters to middle class). He may have been great to journalists etc. etc. and might have had outstanding political skills. But to middle class that means nothing. Secondly, had he become PM in 1991, economic reforms would never EVER have happened and India would have missed another 20 years just like how it missed 40 years after independence and career of people like me would have been ruined completely like how it was before 1991 reforms. Thirdly, had he become PM in 2004, it would have been a worse government than MM Singh's government. What I always remember is the constant undermining of the PM position of which he was a cabinet member. I'm thankful that he did not become PM.
Those days journalists could question ruling political leaders and argue with them. Interesting days. Now political leaders are like emperors, unaccessible, unquestionable.
those days prople like arjun singh gave sites and houses to news traders like couptaji , to keep them happy and not question them. These days fake news peddlers are kicked around and ridiculed. Interesting days
He would have been torn to shreds in the social media age, because it seems like all he was good at was managing what got reported, and not what happened.
"Cannot doubt his loyalty to gandhi family" - what a sad excuse for a person. Not loyalty to the country mind you. Son of an INC politician and part of the early darbar of Rajeev Gandhi, this guy could hold every position imaginable and fuck up in each of them. Its a miracle our country has survived these guys
The common sense solution to end the reservation issue in education is to increase the capacity of education institutions (by opening new ones or increasing capacity of existing ones) to allow admission to every one at no cost for any course but ensure passing happens only when one gets over say 70-75% marks!! This way, no one feels denied but no one can pass unless one learns and passes with high marks!!! Let us see how many last beyond first or second semester in MBBS or Engineering course!!
The man worked hard his entire life, even risking his own life during the Punjab crisis, but how does history remember him? "Loyal Rajiv Gandhi aide". That's what being a Congressman is. Your only identity is either a loyal or a disloyal servant of the family!
Typical Congressman always doing coeteriebaazi and always stalling progressive measures.Was vehemently against Manmohan Singh becoming anybody in Congress
Wondering if these journalists who get govt housing and other favours, write a disclaimer in their articles about their special relationship with the govt. Fat chance 😂
You proved in your own words how corrupt you journalists are but still act holier than thou each time since time immemorial. Why on earth should you all get Govt alloted bunglaws unless you are not on Govt’s payroll! Social Media is such a blessing

Arjun Singh did lot of work for poor and underprivileged. People disagree but those who know they know. RIP thanks @shekhargupta for doing this

Arjun Singh
RAJA
Conman
Congressman
MLA
MP
CM
Defence Minster
Home Minister
Governer
Peace Broker
And many more...
Thouroughly corrupt,opportunist and sycophant
A cynical, chamcha and opportunistic pre liberalisation topi wala
Arjun singh denied india two primeminister namely pranav mukerjee in 84 and sharad power in 91
I don't know about Powar, but Pranab Da would have been the worst PM. He was the worst FM we have in the post 1991 era, till Nirmala Tai replaced him.
Remember him as the man who prevented PVNR from working freely and had to be sidelined

Wonder why Shekhar Gupta has decided to spend time on this dead sycophant.
Shekhar ji, I wanted to know what is the contribution of this man, apart from what he has done for himself?
interesting sir,🙏

Better you could have covered the elections in the US
Loyal to Rajiv/Congress not to the Nation
Gupta ji, aap bhi to loyal Congressmen ho....kab tak Mukhota pen ke rakhoge 😂😂😂😂
Why to remember him?

Good revisit
Sounds like a nasty piece of work. India dodged a bullet as he didn’t get to the PM chair.
Chamaaar
