- PM's speeches betray "more than nervousness but worry and concern": the author and columnist, Neerja Chowdhury, to Karan Thapar for The Wire.
...........................................
Neerja Chowdhury, who is presently covering her eleventh Lok Sabha election and is a star columnist for the Indian Express, says the PM’s election speeches over the last six days betray “more than nervousness but also worry and concern” about the way the BJP’s campaign and earlier messages to the electorate have been received. Neerja Chowdhury also says that many, if not most, of the people she has met during her tours of constituencies have said this is not a Hindu-Muslim election and are variously surprised, shaken, shocked at the anti-Muslim rhetoric the Prime Minister seems to have made the staple of his discourse in the last few days.
In a 40-minute interview to Karan Thapar for The Wire, Neerja Chowdhury, who is the author of the best-selling blockbuster “How Prime Ministers Decide”, also said that reports she has received suggest that the BJP is concerned and worried by the significant dip in the turnout during the first round of elections. Her tours suggest that whilst Muslims have voted in very large numbers, Hindus, particularly those who are thought to vote BJP, have been slow if not somewhat reluctant to turnout. She says this seems to be a Modi vs ‘local issues’ election.
In the interview to The Wire, Neerja Chowdhury says “all eyes are on the Election Commission of India not just in India but worldwide”. She says how they respond to the allegations against the Prime Minister has become a test of the independence and credibility of the Election Commission. This is further emphasized by the fact that even after receiving yesterday’s (Thursday’s) notice the Prime Minister, both in Malda and Araria, has continued to speak the same rhetoric and that is, obviously, a sort of defiance of the Election Commission.
I am only giving you a few of the main points made by Neerja Chowdhury. She is an extremely experienced and insightful journalist with a deep and profound understanding of elections and, in particular, how voters respond to politicians. There is, therefore, a lot that you will learn by watching the full interview. I strongly encourage you to do so. At this point, when the second day of voting is happening, you cannot do better than hear Neerja to understand what seems to be happening on the ground and how voters are behaving. This also explains, in turn, the behaviour and rhetoric of the BJP.

Sir problem is most of the educated people are pro Modi . And rest of the population are hypnotized . And I believe this image of Modi is not like a house of cards that will comedown automatically. Opposition ko ghar ghar jaa k samjana padega. This is what i believe .
Sad that we have a PM who is polarising India
We are ASHAMED by PM’s fascist remark.
He’s scrapping the bottom of his only barrel
We are ashamed my PM's face

How can a hate monger like him remain as PM. He deserves to be tried and punished.
He is proving Mani shankar Aiyyar right.
Mani shankar was perfect, I had no doubt even then, but Rahul was done injustice with him
Too mild a term!!!
Neech ?

He’s hardly a spewed if hate. The Congress, your party that pays you to write this, has been far more damaging to the fabric of this country. The Congress treats the poor with contempt and pity and see them selves as elite lords who would rather govern the country from London. Can’t stand them and you should do a rethink on whether it’s worth trolling for them
With these speeches, the party is isolating a community and going against their own slogan "sabka saath, sabka vikas, sabka vishwas".
They are not going against their slogan but only a minor addition: "sabke saath, sabka Vikas, Viswas and finally "Vinash"!
A JHOOMLA not even a SLOGAN.
Modi improvement on the Muslim scenario is totally misjudgment. It will only intensify with CAA NRC AND OTHER SUCH SCHEMING SCHEMES. LET US NOT BE NAIVE ABOUT IT LIKE BABES IN THE WOOD.

This could be the beginning of the end for this communal minded party. They forget the fact that everyone who climbs the Everest can't stay there for ever but need to descend. It's a disgrace for the nation when the PM himself speaks in this manner. Sorry state of affairs.
May ur words come true soon.
Best comment. Please write more.
Whether BJP wins or loses, Modi has created a Bhasmasur for himself by uttering such heinous, noxious and unconstitutional words. He has alienated the Muslim for ever.
If he lose in election, definitely he'll be in jail.
Please choose properly.just see what congress is doing in Karnataka.we are witnessing it every day.if you don't like Modi ,it is ok.but congress is definitely not an alternative.
@@renukagolappanavar6005dont make sweeping statements. Please support your statements with facts. What Congress is doing is practising inclusive politics & keeping the State free of Communalism. When Pommai was in power every other day there was minority persecution eg hijab, conversion, keeping tabs on what people are eating, Bible burning etc. Christians were fearful of even celebrating Christmas.
Chup ...liberal what's unconstitutional word. 😂

We are all with you. Democracy is in danger. We must be together.
Aur vote do PJB ko 🙁
Election commission is sleeping
We are with you ! Praying for a change of government🙏
Full support to people of Manipur .
It comes with a caveat , STOP hating the other tribe , religious groups , ethnic groups .
I felt a visceral hatred for "the other" when I met various people in Manipur years ago . Hatred is being exploited by BJP .
Modi is the mastermind of Pulwama
Then who made Pakistan ? Can you admit that was Khangress !

Election commission is acting like an impotent
As ECI officials have proved to be spineless, Supreme Court should take Suo Motu action against ECI as well as the supreme leader. Sad days to witness the nation being destroyed and torn apart on communal lines.
Don't you know that Modi replaced the Supreme Court Judge from the ECI Committee with a bjp man?
@@samporoyThat's another axe hit on legs of citizens. An axe hit which will never be recovered or cured.
@@samporoy why not?
An RPF , a serving para military force constable , on guard duty , killed three Muslims passengers in a train in North India , with his Service Rifle , because they refused to say " Jai Sri Ram"
Who planted the seed of hatred in his heart ?
Did the PM Narendra Modi or others of his VVIP/VIP ilk , carry or display a firearm or any weapon , when they spread anti-Muslim hatred , through their incendiary speeches ?.
He has done Pulwama
I am a proud Indian Muslim. I don't feel any crushed or ignored or second class citizen because the person who is abusing the Muslims has lost his mental balance for fear of loosing .rest assured we are not that soft target who will get affected. We are made of very tough stuff. Have a look around the world & in India see our young Muslim female journalists working in such conditions.
Perfectly well said..
Rightly said, years of appeasement politics and treated like first class citizens, Muslims have emboldened to a dangerous level. They should be shown their place and have hope that modi will do the needful. Hindus have been reduced to 9th class citizens in their own land.
Abbe kuch alag level ka inferiority hai yeh.
Shame on the PM
Third term madam ??? He will lose this time.
This very bad for democracy.
We are learning from the Sheikhs of Arabia how to control biksho , maskins e Hindustan.
When ECs are selected by the ruling party, how can we expect free and fair elections? Are we so naive?
Obviously Neerja Chowdhury believes that we are 😊
Modi is not sabke sath, PM
Self defeat for BJP for derogatory remarks against Muslims our people . Silence of Muslims is deciding factor in this election.
Just asking.. dnt u think the path to hindu rashtra is right.. as Islamic countries are increasing and we can be one of them.. may be the way of bjp is wrong. Yes totally wrong.. but do u think the agenda is right??
@@dushyantsharma4410 could means justify the end!
@@dushyantsharma4410startling lack of basic understanding among the Brahmins, banias, khatris. Do the obc, Dalit, adivasis, sc,st,consider themselves Hindu? Do they want it. Why don’t you educate yourself first, before your tribe screams out for a rashtra. And what does it mean? Look around you at present day country. The physical condition of the place. The dying rivers, contaminated soil, useless quality of public education, the list is a mile long. You must belong to the top 15 percent, totally sheltered from the hardship. Do you know almost 90 percent of the population has an average per capita of around 5000 per month, but all you do is hail 5th largest economy. So while the propaganda machine makes you swell your chest at what you are told about 2000 and 3000 years ago, any idea what the conditions were of the other 90 percent past millennia? I don’t expect what I say here will mean anything to any of you. It doesn’t matter to me at all. My views remain steadfast. Enjoy your new kingdom that your living God will make for you over the coming years.
What derogatory remarks?
@@SadguruPrernaTrust What Hindutva Sanatanis are you talking about?
India is already in the docks, in terms of inflation, value, poor/rich parity, health & food.
We have fallen below Bangladesh in malnutrition 😔
Neera choudhary is cautious and is scared of modi.
She is committed not fearful,, just not able to justify what modi said,,
Neerja Chowdhury is speaking like diplomatic . She should be more upfrontand candid.
Very disappointing interview that says nothing at all and contradicts thapars claim of "bold" intervews. Does the lady actually still believe that our democracy is a glorious phenomenon when anyone can see that it is being subverted and undermined at every turn? Wish Mr Thapar had chosen someone less wishy washy and more able to keep to his standard of "bold" interviews
This time polarisation won't work for BJP!
Minority appeasement of Congress & Opposition won't work again.
@@cssuntherraoits called Inclusive politics.

Mainly shows that we have person of poor character as PM. The BJP has become known as the washing machine party.
Thanks
"Enduring legacy of Hate". Its not the first time he has made derogatory comments about a "certain" community.
I am just reminded by Mani shankars iconic statement a decade back. It's so apt
Neeraja Chowdhury being a huge fan of Modi just cannot imagine a govt without modi.
Modi has created a ditch by his own where he has fallen into it...his Hindu Muslim issue now become a boomerang for him and BJP. He has reached at the point of no return...people of India don't like anymore the issue.
That is why 325 plus on 4th June. Rok sake to rok le.
Wow I can clearly c d fallen face of karan thapar nd d fellow columnist. Feeling sorry for both of dem as, free perks nd foreign trips have been withdrawn for dis people

Polarisation of the Indian society particularly by the honourable prime minister is suicidal for the social cohesion of our country.
She never criticises those in power. In fact, her columns read like Tavleen Singh’s and Shekhar Gupta’s these days. We used to look up to these people at one time.
VERY WELL SAID.
Karan, we need analysis of election from you. We wait for ur interview for clarification on various issues.. So require more of your interviews, atleast during election period.
Pls contribute so will me ... past 10years

Thanks for the clear and direct views
Thankyou Mr.Thapar for being resilient in confronting the truth!
Hello dear Karan thapar .we enjoy ur interviews
very important Note and remark on Election comission of India .
Election commission must be brought to justice
As usual your interviews are the authentic
Thank you
Sochtahub hamara desh mein ye religion, cast system based politics kab Khatam honge ?? Y people r not understanding this ??
PM will face it's own foolishness
Whatever we shout and we cry, people are blinded by hate.. We cant do nothing
Bro, this is because of appeasement politics by Congress and its partners.
@@SureshKumar-tx3hucan you explain how? Does that mean BJP is doing Hindu appeasement ?
Yes bjp is doing Hindu appeasement and Congress Muslim appeasement @@sansavd
@@vinodk9123 explain how?
@@sansavd since the overturning of Shah Bano case congress back every social and personal law that Muslims want.
Because of this Muslim community develops more and more conservatives who don't concentrate on secular and scientific education which is the road to become rich. And then the govt conducts economic surveys like sacchar committe which will obviously tell Muslims are backward or poor, and govt will start providing them seperate funds for their upliftment which is basically a economic Muslim appeasement.
ECI is not what ECI should be. It is shameful on his part to be badly submissive.
Unemployment n price rise has taken its toll. How can religion bring hope.
This has been insightful, but I think and just a mere thought, the world and history will remember Supreme Leader as the first Hindu Facist who became PM and our gift to the world.
U r awsome 👍💯
Karan is absolutely Brilliant....
This violation requires more than 2 to 3 days of banning from public speech. This violation deserves much stricter punishment
Simply if the SC of India and CJI are able to listen this anti-Muslim message of Modi, they must take a Suo Motu action against BJP in common and Modi in particular or if they keep their ears, eyes and hears locked up, 250 million Muslims must raise their voices here in India and if that doesn’t work, take up to the UN-HRC to get their humanity and human rights back. Modi is playing with fire, breeding anger and rage in 250 million Muslims of in India.
Muslims should support a UCC and stop beleiving in the😮 doctrine of bigotry and hate against Idol Worshippers and stop this nonsense of Dawa.
Thanks for justifying pm Modi's speech..@@suribhaskar
Election commission is spineless... they are no where near righteousness of Great Sri TN Seshan former CEC ... people will remember him forever.. present day officials just save their skin and move to darkness post tenure.. they have chance to be upright.. wish they do!
Poor Madam Neeeja believes that ECI is still independent, feeling sad & pity on her experience & maturity to view the current political India !
Feel sad for yourself .. she is saving herself from UAPA
Bloody rascala listen to SC court scathing attack on opposition party trying to discredit diminish growing India on EVM petition & EC doing upright work taking India forward
Neerja Chowdhary is a die hard #Modi bhakta ... She will not say much against him, somehow she veers the discussion towards goody-goody talk against Modi.
55 years in journalism and still going on ❤
Love you Karan Sir❤
ECI weak kneed . He got two extension as CBDT chairman
People of the country must come forward to save the country from the hands of this tyrant
The responsibility on which a true leader sits--
Neeraja was being very evasive in her replies to your questions ¬ wanting to admit the real facts of the case.
What in your opinion are the "real facts of the case"?
yes, noticed.😷
Insightful, really!
Neerja Ma'am, please you understand, the person you so much eulogise, he is finishing off with Democracy. An autocrat to the core, will break records of many from World History.
I feel proud of being an Indian, always. Same time, I feel really ashamed about Mr. Modi.
We had and facing world one of most biased dictatorship Top leader
Highly qualified Nirja choudhary ji would you condemn Modi's speech ? Strait away.
She is a Modi Bhakt. You can see how tactfully she is not blaming modi
The day our country rises above religion, and focus on education, employment and development we will have hope for our great nation.

Power is slipping from Modi's hands this is the reason of PM statement
Karan Thapar is the most candid and fearless journalist in India and even in the whole world. The whole country is proud of you. God bless you good health and long life to stand for truth for many years to come.
(P2) Consumed a lot of standups today but the best joke came from Mr.Thapar. "EC will develop a spine and reprimand the Supreme Leader. I hope it was joke and not wishful thinking......
Excellent analysis
This lady is a great politician
She has made a career the past decade bashing the Gandhi family
Who is here to read the comments? 😢
Dear Mr Thapar
U urgently need to modify and have a new introduction statement. This one is VV old and has run its life. Regards.
She is completely diplomatic in the interview.. That's the issue.. Give a chance to the youth like me and see our views and forward answers!! Karan Ji
Neerja Chaudhary can't speak against Modi.
Neerja can speak against Modi, the mystery is why is she unable to speak against Modi.
Engaged for the next 26 mts. Let’s go
Thanks!
It is being glorified
Sabka saath, sabka vikaas 🤣
With this ongoing election campaign it is understood,we, citizens -voters might have been realised that educational & maturity of a person is needed for claiming as an international or national leader or PM!"please work for "Save democracy campaign 🙏
Biggest comedian of this century
🔥🔥🔥
This lady has never uttered a word against BJP.
Exactly !!!! Very very diplomatic... not very open like Karan's other guests.... But as usual Karan Thapar's quesrions were very powerful & strong.... and there was no mention of Kejriwal's arrest.
Madam NC sounds and is very authentic.
This so called exponent of democracy Neerja Chaudhary will never condemn the P M i know .She will evade all these ticklish questions to save her skin from the wrath of the Govt. agencies. Karan Sir ,such duplicate personalities should not be interviewed by you.
True.She is diplomatic in answer.Sort of giving him benefit of doubt.Everything is fair in love n war
Today bjp leaders will b celebrating the SC order of rejecting 100% VVPAT counting. All nervousness will go n 300 par confidence will come back. But crores of public who were demanding 100% VVPAT counting have been crushed with the hammer.
What other can u expect from SC ruling by BJP

By his repeated venomous speeches, the people are worried and they are doubtful about the king's qualification,whether he had gone to any school, a king ruling 140 crore peoples, what a shame
And Modi goes begging for temble in the UAE after Nupur Sharma s SIC remark on Islam? ! .no wonder Modi n his office instructed not to attend laying the foundation stone in Abu Dhabi Temble ! And worst after destroying Babri Masjid and 200 plus Churches in Manipur Chattisgarh etc. Has proved globally his mindset as a statesman ... all who disclosed all indicators under his rule is below 75% !!!
Mrs. Chowdary seems to be worried to speek
मोदी वोट पाने के लिए देशवासियों को भी बेच दे 😢😢😢
His statesman n women are migrating ILLEGALLY to Christian countries and seeking jobs in Muslim countries in the GCC UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain n Oman ....why when Modi promised 2 crore jobs per year × 10 years ? = 20 crore jobs ... Wow Alladin rubing what ?
One side cannot be blamed,the Muslim community has always voted against the bjp although they are the largest beneficiary of this govt schemes, bjp doesn't find them as vote banks and hence they don't care for their votes they don't mind blaming congress for appeasing them
