Summary of the podcast
Generally, these topics aren’t much available in the mainstream media, because they are believed hard to crack and don't address the basics. But, through our podcasts, we disprove this misconception that these cannot be understood by common people. We explain in simple terms various subtopics under this vast topic in the form of conversational and discussion styles. Everything is easy to follow and understandable in the episode.
Moderator Jairam introduced the topic of the day followed by the panellists who have taken their valuable time off the schedule and enlightened the audience. After this, he gave the timeline and description of Modi's political career and how he built his image as a strong leader rising the ranks of RSS and BJP. Since becoming the PM, he has become extraordinarily powerful and unbeatable in India politics where he became India's strongest and the most charismatic leader.
In the opening arguments, Thejas started by talking about an alternative and a puffed-up image Modi has had contradicting his real stature. He believes Modi is not the person he is portraying which he gives the example of not facing the media, unable to give thought-provoking speeches and thriving by creating fear in the public and nothing else. Gautham on the other hand talked about the successes of PM Modi and how he has successfully crafted an image and personality unchallenged by any leader. He also gave a long list of his successes and how PR has always played an important role in developing his image. In the counterarguments, both speakers tried to pick holes in each other's arguments while strengthening their own stances. Jairam summarised all the points before going to the discussion round.
In the discussion round, the interaction started with Modi's role as the Gujarat CM and that rule has given him enough boost to his image of development and vision. Gautham argues that BJP shows PM Modi as a common man while Thejas focuses on why PM Modi's image is only a facade of hype. Lastly, all three panellists agree that he has no challenger and 2024 is undoubtedly going to be a cakewalk for him and the party.
