"Television media also has much to answer for. I am not going to stand here and claim I am different. I am a part of that wider television mainstream media. We are also at fault," senior journalist @sardesairajdeep told @hey_eshwar as he spoke about communal narratives being run by India's 'mainstream media'. In his latest book - ' 2024: The Election that Surprised India' - an entire chapter talks about the state of Indian media, the accusations of biases, and the fear in India's media industry at large. But in this interview, Sardesai also explains why "it is not easy for an India Today to have him as a prime time news anchor." Sardesai's latest book largely talks about the 2024 general elections, his own experiences covering elections over the years, anecdotes from his encounters with political personalities, and the way forward for India as a nation. On the latest episode of 'Badi Badi Baatein', journalists from The Quint, along with Associate Editor Eshwar had a fun, passionate, and heartfelt conversation with Rajdeep Sardesai.
