For a change: News18 Anchor Amish Devgan trolls BJP’s Shehzad Poonawalla during live debate
New Delhi: In an unexpected turn of events during a live debate on News18 India, anchor Amish Devgan, who is often perceived as a supporter of the BJP, took a humorous dig at BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla. The exchange occurred during a discussion about Ashok Tanwar’s last-minute entry into the Congress, just hours after he had campaigned for the BJP during the Haryana elections.
While defending the BJP, Shehzad Poonawalla accused the Congress of trying to win elections by inducting BJP leaders into their party. He claimed that the Congress was relying on BJP leaders to secure electoral success.
In a surprising move, Devgan, who is typically seen as favorable to the BJP and PM Modi’s government, challenged Poonawalla with a series of pointed questions. In a light-hearted yet sharp manner, Devgan questioned Poonawalla’s credibility on the matter by reminding him that several BJP leaders, including Ashok Chavan and Jitin Prasada, had previously been in the Congress before switching sides.
Devgan further pressed Poonawalla by asking him which party he had originally belonged to before joining the BJP, referencing Poonawalla’s own history as a former Congress member.

Amish Devgan schooled BJP spokesperson on his face about Ashok Tanwar joining INC just before election.
Look at Shehzad Poonawalla’s face; he miserably failed to defend his party.
This is just the beginning; many more will come after October 8😂🔥 pic.twitter.com/glqbUZOxu2

South Korea will hold presidential election on June 3 to replace ousted president Yoon Suk Yeol
Seoul (AP): South Korea will hold a snap presidential election June 3 to replace recently ousted President Yoon Suk Yeol, the country's acting leader Han Duck-soo announced Tuesday.
The announcement came days after the Constitutional Court removed President Yoon Suk Yeol from office over his ill-fated imposition of martial law in December.
Deep political polarisation will likely shape the June 3 election, expected to be a two-way showdown between the two major political parties: Yoon's conservative People Power Party and its chief liberal rival, the Democratic Party.
The focus of attention is on whether conservatives can regroup and field a strong candidate to compete against the likely Democratic candidate, Lee Jae-myung.
It will be an uphill battle for the governing People's Power Party to hold on to power it struggles to restore public confidence and heal a severe internal division triggered by Yoon's martial law stunt.
