Rajdeep Sardesai: Why I Chose Goa Fire, Indigo Crisis Over 10-Hour Vande Mataram Debate

On this Special Report, India Today's Consulting Editor Rajdeep Sardesai explains why 'News Today' prioritized the deadly Goa fire and the Indigo monopoly crisis over the 10-hour Parliamentary debate on Vande Mataram. Sardesai argues that a 'Vixit Bharat' cannot be built by looking in the 'rear view mirror' but by addressing the 'issues of today'. He highlights the Goa nightclub tragedy as a 'classic example of corruption' and the Indigo service disruption as the peril of 'monopolies'. The anchor contrasts these urgent citizen-centric issues with the political blame game between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra over the 150th anniversary of the national song.
