On Scrutiny, Anand Ranganathan calls the remark “crass” and “undignified” - but argues the bigger issue is what it says about political discourse.

Freebies Are Now 'Free For All': Anand Ranganathan Blasts Politics Of Free Welfare For Votes TMC and BJP are engaged in one-upmanship over who offers more freebies to woo voters in Bengal as the state awaits the results of the assembly polls on May 4. In this episode of Scrutiny, Anand Ranganathan says BJP has learnt from its past mistakes judging freebies as 'revdi' and has joined the bandwagon to lure voters. Ranganathan said the politics of freebies should end with an all-party commission who decides such moves, rather than giving opportunity to the political parties to engage in a battle of who does it better. #exitpolls2026 #bengalexitpolls #mamatabanerjee #tmc #narendramodi #amitshah #bjp #freebies #electioncommission #bengalassemblypolls #anandranganathan #sundayscrutiny #timesofindia Aditi Prasad

Anand Ranganathan argues that Sonam Wangchuk and Abhijit Deepke are unknowingly replaying the Anna Hazare-Arvind Kejriwal script from 2011 — right down to the hunger strike optics. He invokes the history of Irom Sharmila and Medha Patkar to make the case that state intervention in hunger strikes isn't new, while raising a deeper question: who actually solves the underlying issue once the protest becomes the story? He also points to what he calls selective tolerance — right-wing protesters getting absorbed as "one of us," while left-leaning protesters trigger a bigger reaction. #AnandRanganathan #SonamWangchuk #AnnaHazare #Kejriwal #JantarMantar #NEETLeak #IromSharmila #IndianPolitics Anand Ranganathan Aditi Prasad

Anand Ranganathan has taken on Rahul Gandhi’s Manusmriti argument. He accepts that the passage describing women’s dependence on father, husband and sons is patriarchal. But he says Rahul Gandhi is using one verse as a political weapon while ignoring the wider Hindu tradition. Ranganathan argues that Manusmriti is an ancient collection, a Smriti and not the Vedas. He says critics are “cherry-picking” a harsh passage while overlooking verses and traditions that honour women. He also insists that patriarchy and misogyny must be condemned wherever they appear. The debate is not about denying the verse. It is about whether one text, one passage or one interpretation can define Hindu thought. This report separates the verse, the history and Ranganathan’s political argument, while asking whether the same standard is applied to every religious tradition in India.

#WATCH | Delhi | On joining BJP, Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal says, "...I joined the BJP not under any compulsion, but because I believe in the leadership of PM Modi. I urge all those who want to do constructive politics to join the BJP" "I have left the AAP and joined the BJP. Since 2006, I have been working with Arvind Kejriwal and supported him during every agitation. However, Arvind Kejriwal had me beaten up by a goon in my own house. I was threatened when I raised my voice against it, and he put immense pressure on me to withdraw the FIR I lodged regarding this incident. I was denied any opportunity by the party to speak in Parliament for two years; this is very shameful. Arvind Kejriwal is anti-women. Now, they have entered Punjab, and the state government is being remotely controlled, turning Punjab into their personal ATM. Sand mining and drug usage are at a peak in Punjab...FIRs are registered against all those leaders who raise their voices against them. Arvind Kejriwal is known for corruption and 'gundagardi'. On the other hand, we have PM Modi, who is the most popular leader in the world. Be it during Operation Sindoor, when we killed enemies by entering their homes and ending Naxalism in the nation, or introducing the women's reservation bill in Parliament, PM Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah have taken historic decisions for the development of the nation. I joined the BJP not under any compulsion, but because I believe in the leadership of PM Modi. I urge all those who want to do constructive politics to join the BJP"

Prime Minister Narendra Modi seems well aware that BJP stands no chance in Bengal. That’s why he is resorting to hollow slogans. The people of Bengal have already seen through BJP’s vote-theft politics and will give their answer at the right time. Bengalis are being targeted outside Bengal, and such injustice will never be tolerated here. Today Modi ji comes to inaugurate Metro projects which were, in reality, envisioned and initiated by Mamata Banerjee . He is only here to take the credit for her hard work. The truth is, BJP lacks leaders of integrity—what it has is a bunch of rotten opportunists. Bengal has always stood firmly with Didi, and it will continue to do so. Narendra Modi BJP BJP West Bengal

Kejriwal is the perfect case study of Indian political hypocrisy. A man who built his entire image by attacking VIP culture, political arrogance, big convoys, security drama and “netagiri” slowly became the same thing he once asked people to reject. Earlier, he sold himself as the face of the “aam aadmi.” Simple clothes, simple language, anti-corruption slogans, no VIP attitude, no political privilege. But once power arrived, the revolution quietly turned into the same old system. The same leaders who once mocked security culture started enjoying security. The same people who attacked political comfort started defending their own comfort. The same party that entered politics by saying “we are different” started behaving like every other party once it got power. This is the problem with Indian politics: every leader begins as a common man and ends up becoming a protected VIP. Cockroach Party of India has only one message: >Don’t worship politicians. >Don’t fall for simplicity drama. >Don’t get fooled by muffler politics, jhola politics, chai politics or fakiri politics. ••Audit every leader. ••Question every party. ••Expose every hypocrite. Because in India, the fastest transformation is not development. It is “Aam Aadmi” turning into “VIP Aadmi” after getting power.

“Mr. Kejriwal, don’t question my order…” — Delhi High Court Judge issues a sharp warning ⚖️ A dramatic moment unfolded inside the courtroom as former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal found himself at the receiving end of a stern remark from single judge bench Justice Swarnakanta Sharma. During the hearing, the judge made it clear that judicial orders are not to be challenged in a manner that undermines the authority of the court, strongly objecting to Kejriwal’s claims and tone. The exchange quickly escalated, turning into a tense face-off between a senior political leader and the judiciary — something rarely witnessed so openly. The judge’s warning underscored a critical principle: respect for judicial discipline and the limits of courtroom arguments. As courtroom tempers flare, the spotlight is once again on the delicate balance between political figures and judicial institutions.

If India's stock market gets disturbed, will the small investors be troubled or not?...In the politics of the Congress party, there is one toolkit politics, the other is chit politics. If chits are found in the exam, action is taken.

But listening to him speak only ignorantly, it seems as if he is not the leader of the opposition but rather an ignorant, naive, and stubborn child. Given the accusations he levelled against this country and its prime minister today, I want to ask, has he become a mouthpiece for anti-India forces?... I would like to remind Rahul Gandhi, who is spreading lies, that the people of this country have repeatedly rejected him... Rahul Gandhi should continue with the politics of allegations. The Narendra Modi government and every Indian believe only in a national policy based on results... You incite your workers to behave indecently. By coming to such a huge, international platform like the AI ​​Impact Summit, the Congress Party workers sacrifice the country's reputation for their own selfish political interests. But India will continue to fly high in the world of AI and technology... In all the upcoming assembly elections, the people of India will once again give a befitting reply to Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party."

Watch & listen this very very carefully. The spokesperson of CJP, Dahiya, is totally exposed by Anand Ranganathan .. completely stripped naked in front of everyone. The CJP guy doesn’t even know the name of the chairman of the committee constituted to look into NEET reforms. He has NO answer as to why no demand was made for resignation of Punjab and Karnataka Education ministers who are exactly in the same boat as Pradhan when the leaders of those parties visited Jantar Mantar. The crux of the matter is the whole CJP movement was created as a subsidiary arm of AAP relying only on mob mobilisation, hooliganism, bad mouthing the PM & gundagardi to create chaos in the heart of the capital of India. The key point is if they were upset about CJI’s remarks, then why they didn’t protest in front of the supreme court? And they want country’s policies to be decided by them….

Today, I had the immense honour of sharing the stage with our Hon'ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi Ji, at the historic 'Poriborton Sankalpa Sabha' at Dumdum. The energy of the massive crowd and the resounding call for "Poriborton" (change) filled the air, reflecting the people’s resolve to free Bengal from the clutches of Trinamool’s corruption and misrule. Modi ji’s powerful words today struck a chord with every Bengali heart. He rightly targeted the corrupt, be it Arvind Kejriwal, Partha Chatterjee, or Jyotipriya Mallick, who did cling on to power even from behind the bars, showing no respect for the Constitution or the people. But uunder the watch of Modi Ji, soon this will be a thing of the past, the corrupt won't be able to rule from the Jail. He exposed how Trinamool shelters infiltrators for vote-bank politics, snatching jobs of our people and land from our farmers & tribal communities, while violating the honour of our mothers and sisters. Modi Ji’s promise to drive out infiltrators and build a developed Bengal under BJP’s leadership is our guiding light. We, the Karyakartas of BJP West Bengal, are committed to realizing Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee’s dream of a prosperous Bengal. Modi Govt has given Bengali language the status of a 'Classical Language', and with our roadmap for development, we will transform Bengal into a model of progress and development. The people of West Bengal, just give us one chance, and see the difference. 🙏 BJP

Yesterday, I called out Rahul Gandhi over the way protesters were beaten in Jharkhand. I even called him a hypocrite. But moments later, he held a press conference and posted on X, openly criticising the action against the protesters. By doing so, Rahul stood against a state government led by the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, where Congress is an alliance partner. That is rare in Indian politics. How often do we see an ally publicly call out its own coalition government? This is what, to me, gives Rahul Gandhi his moral clarity. He has shown it time and again. The BJP is now protesting against Rahul in Parliament and demanding that he apologise for the Jharkhand incident. They want Rahul to take accountability, even though he is not the Chief Minister of Jharkhand. His party is merely an alliance partner in the state. Yet where is the accountability from Narendra Modi or Amit Shah for the brutal crackdown on students during the Delhi protest on July 28? On one side, you have Rahul Gandhi publicly criticising an ally’s government when he believes it has acted wrongly. On the other, you have a Prime Minister who expects protesters to apologise to him because some of them used abusive language against him. That is the difference.

#WATCH | Delhi: On 2/3 of the AAP Rajya Sabha MPs merging with and joining BJP, Congress national spokesperson Shama Mohamed says, "I am not shocked and I am not surprised. I have heard words like 'jhatka' and all. There is no 'jhatka' here. AAP was born out of the BJP and the RSS. So, all these MPs are going back to their parents. That's about it, there is nothing new in it. Let's understand, Arvind Kejriwal came about with a movement called 'India Against Corruption', accusing the Congress of corruption. We have all found out and know that they was no corruption. Supreme Court judges said in 2G that there was no scam, as well as in the coal case. So, let's understand that there were wrong accusations by him. He also accused somebody like Sonia Gandhi, whom everybody respects, of corruption and many other things. So, I would say that today is 'karma' coming back and biting Arvind Kejriwal. He will now sit in a Wagon-R and those number of MPs he will have and that's the number of people he will have in his party. He can sit in his Wagon-R and go back to wherever he came from."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi did more than to expose the vanity of Rahul Gandhi at the Republic Summit 2026. He exposed the central fraud of Rahul Gandhi’s politics: 👉Memory must begin only after 2014. 👉Accountability must apply only to Modi. 👉Institutions are legitimate only under Congress party. 👉Elections are democratic only when Congress wins. 👉And the Constitution is sacred only when it can be weaponised against the BJP. Rahul offers theatrical props, recycled allegations and the confidence of a man permanently protected from the consequences of his own incompetence. The greatest irony is that even Congress now demands that Modi fix everything. Every complaint ends with “Modi must act”, because somewhere beneath all the abuse lies an involuntary confession: they know who possesses the ability to deliver.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi did more than to expose the vanity of Rahul Gandhi at the Republic Summit 2026. He exposed the central fraud of Rahul Gandhi’s politics: 👉Memory must begin only after 2014. 👉Accountability must apply only to Modi. 👉Institutions are legitimate only under Congress party. 👉Elections are democratic only when Congress wins. 👉And the Constitution is sacred only when it can be weaponised against the BJP. Rahul offers theatrical props, recycled allegations and the confidence of a man permanently protected from the consequences of his own incompetence. The greatest irony is that even Congress now demands that Modi fix everything.
