‘Govt can’t do anything about court case’: Jindal on graft charges, his embrace of BJP and Hindutva

- Industrialist Naveen Jindal is contesting as the BJP’s candidate from Haryana’s Kurukshetra, months after his overnight transformation from diehard Congressman to a BJP member.
He is an accused in the alleged coal scam, which not long ago, was described by PM Narendra Modi as a major scandal.
The cases by the CBI and the ED are still ongoing. Is that why the two-time Congress MP from Haryana switched to the BJP days before elections, like other opposition leaders, including Suvendu Adhikari and Himanta Biswa Sarma?
Asked about the opposition’s “washing machine” charge in this conversation with Sreenivasan Jain, Jindal says it’s been “more than 10 years this case has been going on” and asks “why would I wait 10 years”. “The case is with the court…So now the agency or the government can’t do anything about it.”
Asked if the BJP’s decision to allow the entry of leaders like him can be questioned as hypocritical, the politician says that “people can question each thing, each and everything. People can question whatever they want to question”.
On being asked about the Modi government’s role in the inauguration of the Ram Mandir, he says, “The government, after it got all the approval, from the Supreme Court and it built the temple, if the authorities, if they want the prime minister to come and take part in ceremonies, what’s wrong with that?”
“I am absolutely comfortable. I am very happy and I felt very proud. I was there on that day…not only me, the whole country and Indians all over the world, they felt very proud.”
On the average rate of growth during the 10 years of Modi government being lower than the UPA years, he says, “If your base is very low, to rise up, to have a higher rate, is low. But when you are already here, then to go higher, it’s difficult. Why does America have only 1 or 2 percent GDP growth rate?..because they are already developed countries…to go from the 11th economy in the world, now we are the fifth largest economy…you only want to see the negative.”
Asked about unemployment data, he asks “which country doesn’t have unemployment”.
Watch.

Srinivasan Jain, is too good. Keep up the good work.
If shameless and bigotry has a love child.
Poor guy Mr Jindal!! Roasted by a professional and unbiased journalist. He had no answer the entire interview. 😂
Oportunist. Will switch sides if PJP loses.
Hope sj would get a chance to interview our PM
Ravish would be better
How is that Srinivasan Jain is interrupting the Jindal guy repeatedly.
Sreenivasan is an amazing journalist as for Mr Jindal he is only here for himself he has no conviction or character he goes anywhere that’s beneficial to him what a disgrace
I thought Jindal would break into tears. Lol 😂
prosecution is in the hands of the govt
Not familiar with all what the pm says but is motivated by what the pm said about swach Bharat!!
The biggest thief in India.
SJ raised good questions.
Right now he is busy spinning inside the washing machine so no point talking to him😂
Washing machine will automatically dry after spinning.....we'll watch and see
Pardon me but the way he was talking to a respected journalist seemed to be the height of arrogance that most andh Bhakts of Modi exhibit. He never gave straight answers to Sriniwasan's straight and simple questions. Rather he dviated from the real Q and indulged in rubbish monologue about his own industry. On the one hand he said he is no economist and on the other he said MODI started on a higher threshold vis a vis growth rate. Again about Babri Ram Mandir imbroglio he talked the same nonsense ( 500 साल पहले मंदिर तोड़ा इसलिए) My overall impression of this interview is that it was a sheer waste of time talking to this andh bhakt who can't see beyond what crores hindutva bigots can see. My prediction is that this man will be DEEATED badly in this election by the great people of Haryana since he doesn't deserve to be their representative in Loksabha
Hope he is defeated . Was not allowing Srinivas Jain to talk he was keeping on cutting him. Displaying his arrogance as though Srinivas Jain was in his employ. He is flying high abd should be brought down to earth.
The caste-corporate sponsored people are against social justice...now Rahul's transforming INC in the direction of social democracy, so many people who were or are basically CongRss elements are now leaving INC of Rahul, Kharge...Indian politics will have the much needed socio-political transformation after this election...note it !
First tell congress to reserve posts according to population. Let them follow it in their party camp first
Congress knows its duty. No place for people opposing social justice in cong.
Please let the guest speak .. srinivasan you interrupt a lot
अवसरवादी जिंदल
Toast 🙄
One of the poorest countries in the world talking about economic shame on you
What triggered you is ed and jssl
Jindal's arrogance matches BJP arrogance perfectly! Become defensive and attack the interviewer, Atleast Srinivas Jain tried valiantly without feeling insulted. Great characterstics of a good interviewer!
Poor jindal
Poor guy
Sreenivasan Jain is an Indian journalist who worked for NDTV from 1995 - Jan 2023. He is currently an adjunct faculty at O.P. Jindal Global University. 😄😆😅🤣🤣(Wiki)
Whats your point? It didnt stop him from asking tough questions.
Why everyone are crying in comment section. Be practical instead of blindly opposing BJP.
Poor interview, Expected more from Srinivasan!! His image is tarnished by such interviews.
Sreenivasan jain is so full of crappy propaganda, such presstitutes are a total disgrace to journalism
Arnob and godi media people are real prostitutes. Srinivasan Jain is a gem. Fools can't appreciate him.
You don’t know what is the economy
Yo stop lying like modi
