On Saturday night the BJP reps in the Times Now studio did not need to mount an aggressive defence of the govt's choice of Yogi Adityanath as UP CM. Navika Kumar, the channel's political editor, did it for them, pouncing on other panelists. "What has been at stake apart from development? Teen saal mein kya hua hai? Kyon aap logon bhadka rahe ho?"(what has happened in three years apart from development? Why are you scare mongering?) To the Samajwadi Party representative she said, "Aap ne kya brand of politics kiya? That's why you have been routed. Elections are over you have been routed." She added that of the 56 debates Yogi Adityanath has participated in only 14 were on Hindutva. if the BJP wants support from the English media going forward it knows where to look.
