Sardesai facing criticism for softball interviews with Congress leaders
-
Rajdeep Sardesai is following Congress leaders on the campaign trail, asking them softball questions like their favorite songs rather than substantive policy questions.
-
In an interview with Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot, Sardesai sang Hindi songs and emphasized Gehlot's importance to Congress.
-
With Priyanka Gandhi, one of Sardesai's last questions was about how she's changed in 20 years, not about issues.
-
When students criticized the Rajasthan government for exam paper leaks, Sardesai tried to deflect blame to the previous BJP government.
-
Sardesai has a history of conducting gentle interviews with Congress leaders that resemble PR efforts more than journalism.
