Tonight on Left, Right & Centre:

Why do our cities collapse every monsoon?

We discuss how the onset of the monsoon has already exposed the complete lack of infrastructure in the mega cities of Delhi and Mumbai. The roads have collapsed, the world-class T3 terminal at Delhi's IGI airport was flooded and traffic jams persist despite many promises by civic authorities. So why does this happen every year?

Muslim vote bank: A concept created by politicians?

Our second discussion on the show is pegged on how Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's decision to leave the NDA was prompted by the fear that the projection of Narendra Modi as the next leader of the alliance would scare away Muslim votes and hurt his vote bank. But what is this Muslim votebank everyone keeps talking about? Does it even exist?
