RSTV and the Gujarat poll

IN Media Watch Briefs | 09/08/2017

When the politician who was I and B minister till the other day becomes Vice President and the presiding officer in the Rajya Sabha,  RSTV's performance will be scrutinised closely. After Tuesday's drama over the Rajya Sabha elections in Gujarat,  a Wednesday eve discussion on the channel between anchor Kavindra Sachan and senior journalist Ramkripal Singh offered some reassurance. The latter was roundly critical of what had transpired, saying that a party should not go to any length to ensure electoral victory. He added that it was good for the health of the BJP that it did not get the third seat it was aiming for.
