Let’s Talk about Why Delhi Voted Against the BJP’s Hate Politics

On today’s show Pragya talks to senior journalist Paranjoy Guha Thakurta about results of the Delhi Assembly elections. Though the process is ongoing, the message from the people is clear. It is as much vindication of the work done by the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP as it is a defeat for the communal campaign run by the BJP. We discuss how and why these events unfolded and what lies ahead. Also on the show is NewsClick’s Alim Jafri, who has been reporting on anti-CAA-NRC-NPR protest in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, for a perspective on the role played by the Shaheen Bagh movement. The key questions- what is the mood among the people of Shaheen Bagh and how will the nationwide protests move forward.
