Rajdeep said yesterday evening that he was going to the Parliament just as the voting was about to begin. But he finally landed there 24 hours later. Why this change of mind ? Did Madam send a warning to her man Friday not air the tapes public. So Rajdeep had 24 hours to edit and then give what will absolve Amar Singh and Ahmed Patel. This CNN IBN henchman should be arrested for tampering and destroying evidence.
all indians know how 266 votes converted to 275.congress be ready for complete washout in coming election and soniaji u must kn0w that six months not enough for stopping ur party downfall.amarsingh jaise neta jiske sath rahenge wo party bhi chor hi hogi.mr. sardesai made right move to keep good journalism live in country.
Media themselves do all the work .. whenever they want, they telecast anything to take the TRP increase and when it is really needed by public, they do not do that siting hundreds os reasons.
Sardesai, I know you are a congress paid journalist, but it had been better if you had shown the tape to public who are the real people to know the truth than speaker or MPs.
Sardesai must have been ordered by Cong (supported by SP) not to show it on TV otherwise SP will take back the support.
rajdeep, i used to look upto you to do some constructive. now, no more! u followed amar sing's dalal footsteps. such a degradation!!! you should have shown those taps as it is and not let congis to tamper it. u lost one viewer :(. u are no different that any antinationalist!
Though I have the highest regards for Rajdeep Sardesai, I am afraid he's tryoing to mislead the people here. The fact is the BJP MPs approached his reporter to record the dealings under the agreement that as soon as the tapes would be ready, CNN IBN would telecast thse tapes by around 3-3.30 PM yesterday. But obviously IBN developed cold feet and didnt telecast the tapes.On;ly then the BJP Mps went out in the parliament and showed the wads of notes to show that they hv been offered money. only after the controversy broke and the BJP leaders came out in the open saying IBN had the tapes was he forced to handover the tapes tpo the speaker. Last evening at about 5 PM Rajdeep was on his channel saying he was leaving to the speaker's office to hand over the tapes. So question is 1. why didnt he give the tapes to speaker yesterday itself when his channel was saying tapes hv been handed over. 2.Speculation was that Mr Rajdeep fearing any political backlash of the powers that be (UPA) was trying to get the tapes edited. I sincerely its not the case 3. When rajdeep says that they didnt air the tapes because of certain reasons, its hard to believe him. These news channels are the first one to air such tapes to gain some TRPs.hard to believe why rajdeep and his channel wont air the tapes.
will mr rajdeep answer these questions?And surprisingly his channel has had no discussion on this bribery scam all through the day today? does it indicate some underhand dealing here?can mr sardesai

If it had been the Congress which did the sting then this fellow would've aired the CD 24 hours on his channel. Apparently it didnt suit his political views.
Rajdeep;stop mouthing big lofty ideologies.You are the same person who had praised Dawood Ibrahim in one of your columns appearing in the Editorial pages of TOI sometime back in 91 or 92. You had found him to patriotic (as written in your article).Please deny if this is wrong.And here you talk of journalism when the only language you speak and write is what moneymakes you do ;whether it is from Dawood or Amar Singh.
what do u think? the bribe is universally accepted in puplic and private enterprises can u imagin a monthly sallaried person going to a five star or classy hotel for outing on every week ends u can observe the crowd by ur self
