New Kids On The Block: Student Leaders On Seer, Fireworks And Assam Polls
This is the first edition of our brand new show 'New Kids On The Block'. If you follow news, you would know that perhaps the most politically active place these days is the campus, and while the campus has always given us politicians like Arun Jaitley, Lalu Yadav among others, of late, they've become key to national politics. So here's what we do on this show every night - we bring you the day's top stories and instead of getting the usual political reactions, we'll have the next generation leaders to react to it - student union leaders from campuses across the country. Tonight on the show, the 94-year-old Shankaracharya Swaroopanand came out and warned that if women are let into Shani temple, more women will get raped. Will political parties condemn this statement? And on the day of final polling in Assam, why was Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi hauled up by the Election Commission, and finally as ban fireworks chorus grows, will political parties support the ban?
