Reporters Without Orders Ep 232: Shivraj Chouhan’s bulldozers, Arvind Kejriwal’s ads

Basant Kumar is joined for this episode by fellow Newslaundry reporter Prateek Goyal.

They discuss the NL Sena series by Prateek and Ashwine Kumar Singh about Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s “bulldozer campaign”, and who it’s targeting. “The government says that they are fighting the mafia by bulldozing their houses but if you look closely that isn’t the case,” Prateek says. “It’s an excuse to target the minority community and weaker sections of the society.”

They also talk about Basant’s report on the Delhi government’s student loan scheme and how it has done poorly. Basant explains how the Arvind Kejriwal government has spent vastly more money advertising this scheme than it has given the beneficiaries.

This and a lot more as they talk about what made news, what didn’t, and what shouldn’t have.

Tune in.
