New Delhi: In a recent interview titled "Jab We Met," Rahul Kanwal of India Today engaged in a conversation with Kanhaiya Kumar, the Congress-AAP alliance candidate from the North East Delhi constituency. As they strolled through the streets of North East Delhi, Kanahiya’s adept responses dismantled Kanwal's biased questioning. 

 

Throughout the interview, Kanwal's line of questioning appeared to lean heavily towards praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi, showcasing his support rather than challenging it. However, Kanhaiya skillfully dismantled this bias, particularly highlighting the role of the Congress party in shaping online money transfer systems.

 

In a notable exchange, Kanwal attempted to dismiss a local vendor's concerns about reduced business post-Covid by saying that you are standing outside the Congress campaign office and hence you will say so. However Kanhaiya immediately countered and stated that he had opened the campaign office 14 days back but the vendor was there from the past 14 years. Further Kanhaiya made Kanwal pay the vendor through UPI, a move that visibly surprised the interviewer. To this Rahul who is fond of and used to living at the expense of the politicians of whom he sings praises is seen saying that this is the first time that any leader is making me pay as normally leaders are the one's paying.

 

Kanwal's interview with Kanhaiya made the netizens ask some very sharp questions on the integrity of the media in India. 

 

One user tweeted, “

“PROPAGANDA EXPOSED 

Rahul Kanwal was interviewing Kanhaiya Kumar and praising Narendra Modi for UPI payments.

Kanhaiya torn apart his propaganda in just 40 seconds and explained how Congress shaped online money transfer. 

Shameless @rahulkanwal was batting for BJP in whole interview like normal Godi anchor. 

Well done #KanhaiyaKumar  ” 

 

Another tweeted, Shame on @rahulkanwal, he is literally insulting and doubting a poor vendor just because he said business has gone down due to factories in the neighborhood closing post-Covid
