Modi has a Stooge Om Birla to hide his discomfort. So whatever Palshikar says in textual political view, I don't see Modi anyway uncomfortable. He will continue his dictatorial attitude, disregard opposition, very difficult for a matured parliamentary democracy. India is now in a very uncomfortable stage internally and globally. Indians have lost the election due to the arithmetic stupidity of our electoral democracy. India has lost to an illiterate dictator leading a fascist BJP and a couple of mercurial regional parties. It is a shame as even in an ECI rigged election 20 crore Indians have erred on behalf of 140 crore Indians. God save us. Jai Hind 🙏🇮🇳

BJP has raised a rabid politician in its ranks. Not only detrimental to the party as a whole but even more detrimental for the country.

He will cling to the chair unless removed with a pair of pincers.

Modi is the most shameless personality in the political history of India.

How does a person who does not know parliamentary etiquette is installed again as a speaker ??? Very unfortunate for the democracy of our country.

He will shoehorn himself in the role of an accidental PM, however uncomfortable he feels with clenched teeth and scrotum tightening resolute As an incurable narcissist, come what may , he would do everything to cling to his position of power.

Modesty and Modi are poles apart😢

Since PM will be out of Parliament most time, He will create his comfortable atmosphere outside the Parliament House as to his wish. He will continue to create uncomfortable atmosphere to all opposition leaders and to those who give opinion against him till his last breath. This is his characteristic.

I am speechless on the dubious character of Modi. Even after such a humiliating mandate his body language has remained the same. To my mind,he is an imposter. Shame on him...!

The sham of Indian politics is that those in power have all the time in the world to play personality and party politics but little time to govern the country for which they are paid. Every key institution in India that is meant to work for the people has been reduced to a mockery and groomed to be a tail wagging lapdog of the PM and his lackeys. With the current crop of 5-star dunces back in power Indians have lost out majorly. You know what happens when a clown moves into a palace; unfortunately, it is not going to be funny.

Om Birla is back at being condescending and disrespectful in Parliament

How can he avoid confrontation now? He was avoiding it till now, now is the time to answer.

So true. I saw a glimpse of the "uncomfortable " look on his face in parliament, today, esp when Akhilesh yadav congratulated him in his speech.

Excellent choice of person to interview. Very thoughtful responses. Modi is a narcissist. He will never see the reality staring him in the face. He should be uncomfortable- anyone else would be. But Modi won’t be - he’ll just charge in like an angry bull. The ability to change with circumstances is a sign of intelligence. That is the last thing you can accuse Mr. Modi of. He’s clever, manipulative, cunning but not intelligent nor wise. The BJP’s hubris will make them over-reach. It’s the opposition which has to stay united & take advantage of any opportunity offered to them. Excellent interview. Thanks-Karan

He seems to be right, as if one looks at his face with deep eyes, one will notice that the earlier glow has vanished and replaced with darkness.

Very eager to hear your valuable intelligence Sir

He will not only be most uncomfortable in the Lok Sabha, he will be dangerous also.. A cornered despot will could lose his temper

Fooling CITIZENS continues! Status quo?

Careless governance under uneducated PM, Satyamev Jayate

Now he cannot lead from the front which he had been practicing in State and Centre.Domocracy has come alive,a sigh of relief can be seen on the faces of millions.

Modi is in purgatory; a terrible place to be in!

The blame lies squarely with modi and shah.

Now Mr Birla is the key guy.A biased person has got another chance to redeem himself.God give him the strength and sagacity to redeem himself.

Certenly,most shameless person of Indian political arena.And this is the best time to teach; who is the most inhuman,n most communalism mentality man.

So frieghtening future for India.

Insightful, in true sense!

All wild guesses. No substance. 👎 Modi will do anything to retain and enjoy power.

Very nice analysis of Modi's personality in the changing scenario of Loksabha.

He will not compromise....he will face consequences at tge earliest...

"Charisma"!!!!!!!????? Charisma alone, cannot feed the hungry, cannot give jobs to the unemployed, cannot educate the illiterate, cannot stop corruption, cannot bring peace and prosperity to the people of the country (just to name a few) and many more ills that our country suffers from. India needs much, much more from it's Politicians than just "Charisma"! We need Politicians who put the needs of the citizens and the country first, and their own greed for money and power last. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what India needs most.

It is to be hoped the people of the country refuse another expensive ,manipulated election.

I am a person with cerebral palsy, PhD scholar from JNU, my area of a specialisation is disability studies. Uttar Pradesh government has given me in writing that they haven't identified people with cerebral palsy suitable for teaching positions while central government according to the new disability law has allowed people with cerebral palsy to teach in higher education such a paradox. I have tried reaching out to chief minister of Uttar Pradesh. Also tweeted to Prime Minister office. I have filed a petition in High Court of Allahabad but for 2 years now they are only giving me new dates

Palsekar Ji . My Humble. Bow n Salute to your Most. Genuine opinion , n reporting with Thapar ji .

Important sir jee so important

He was uncomfortable when he had water and walk away he will be most uncomfortable for his remaining time.

Yes modi will not be able to suppress his hate filled mind and actions. Watch what he does not what he says.

18th Lokasabha Election: Voters' engagement is higher this time. So public wrath would be lethal on wrong tones of governance this time. Examole: NEET fiasco

Karan, it will be great if we can have a special interview with John Mearsheimer on his views of Indian and global politics.

Very comprehensive reading about the PM professor.Hats off to you.hope he changes as the time passes and realise his outcome about the past 10 years in dictatorial rule but so called “ Mother of Democracy”

Rightfully said 🎯

Main reason for his discomforts is his troubling thought that if his ministry loses majority and INDIA block is able to forn a government, modi and Amit sha and a few others will be prosecuted and jailed for the corruptions and murderers and for misuse of power.

We support Wire. Specially Mr. Karan Thapar Senior Journalist and best Anchor

Modi, till now, has not been averse to failure. He was Chief Minister of Gujarat for 12 years and Prime Minister for 10 years. He has always enjoyed the pleasures of position, power, luxurious life and enjoying foreign tours & benefits. Modi has refrained from facing any controversial incidents (Chinese encroachments, Mizoram riots, natural disasters/riots in any state and many more). Courage and skill are necessary to face such dilemmas. Now a person with such a mindset does not even imagine failure. Moreover, the memories of big scandals and cruel revenge on opponents for so many years make him more distressed and he is struggling to face the present situation. Because of that, his confused state is evident from talking about everything that seems to be untrue.

Same situation rajiv refused to become p m with 200 seats saying people hv voted against shameless b j p..

Thank you so much for such an insightful interview

We are always with neutral and intellectual media and Karan Thapar.❤😂🎉.

Salute to you Respected sir,the wire ❤🎉.

He is uncomfortable only till the end of the ongoing session of the Parliament. After that everybody else will find himself in utmost discomfort.

ECI let Modi win

It is 100% correct ,yes is a most uncomfortable person ,👍

He won't attend the Lok Sabha. Just as in the previous term.

With due respect to Palshikar sir, Modi will remain what he has bn in last 10 years..with his man Om Birla as speaker again, he wud leave parliament and the Opposition worthless, outside parliament, he wud continue his mangalsutra, musalmaan, bhains and toti chori. Afterall, these hv briught him back as PM, a misfortune though for our democracy.

BJP and Modi got 240 inspite of evm manupalution is this ok ? This shows that they lost the support of People Should this BJP and Modi to continue again ?

Yes Rahul Gandhi will stand up for the people of India students neet paper leaked railway accident etc

Thanks!

Great insights by Prof. Palshekar.

Just terrified with the future of the country. Country is pushed into the darkness. In 2001 the Nigerian currency 1$ = 108 Naira now in 2024 it is 1500 Naira to one $

Insightful discussion. Thanks!

Modi is heavily Teflon covered without self esteem. He can stoop low to any level

Clearly Suhas is a very Wise and Experienced person

Om Birla is not worthy of loosening the sandal straps of P.A. Sangma as far as Speaker thing is concerned.

*SUHAS SIR --YOU ARE CORRECT SIR----I AM TERRIFIED & FRIGHTENED TO EVEN THINK ABOUT NARENDRA MODI'S NEXT MOVE*

Opposition will have a problem. Inspite of the numbers, opposition may not be able to prevail

It will be fun to watch the parliament proceedings hereafter, especially after hearing Rahul and Akhilesh speech and forewarning Speaker not to play games of silencing the opposition. And also knowing the high handed and authoritative attitude of ruling party.

The Modi government despite the lack of majority has steam rolled over all allegations of the opposition and retains all powers to continue in his third term.

Well spoken , sir

Brilliant!

Excellent discussion

Great interview

Wonderful , interesting and informative

Great

' Questioning of his orders/ decisions, were always there but never responded to since 2002' ; became a trait ' , part of his personality ; will certainly keep PM under pressure now !

He is born uncomfortable

How do you have a reynolds pen? I thought manufacturing had stopped.

Owesome

It doesn't seem to be so। He is most obstinate person he may have knowledge but not wisdom। He will act in the same way he acted in earlier sessions। He is past master in mesmerising his allies

Can you see Karan bubbling with unconcealed joy at the idea of an "awkward" Modi in the LS?

How long do the educated elites of the country are going to tolerate the authoritarian rule of Modi ???

Sensational interviews.

Don't underestimate his adaptive qualities

BJP is viewed as a North Indian - Upper caste - Hindi speaking party who cannot understand the regional equations and diversity. Therefore do not qualify to rule. This is the general image of BJP in Southern India. This can and has to change. People don't see Modi with same reverence as they used to with Vajpayee ji and Manmohan ji. Atal ji was a stalwart leader and inspired trust and respect. Modi is seen as an electioneer like marketeer, profiteer and a maverick politician who cannot be trusted with votes. All exuberance, rhetorics and flurry of promises. He lacks dignity and perhaps good education. Modi = Bluff master; is the growing perception. People are rejecting Modi - Shah type dishonest rhetorical WAVE Politics. DMK challenged BJP openly with anti hindutva- Sanatana - Hindu rhetorics. They routed BJP in TN. BJP TN= 0. Modi likewise pitched aggressively with Infiltrators- NO Reservation rhetoric while riding on Ram Mandir. He lost badly in BJP stronghold. Ayodhya was the icing on the cake. Modi barely saved himself in Banaras. See the contrast between DMK and BJP. Similar approaches yeilding opposite results. Why? What is wrong with BJP? While opposition seemed to learn fast, BJP is lagging. Loss is attributable to poor leadership and lack of sensitivity to grasp shifting ground realities. BJP double engine betrayed Karnataka. Modi-Shah treated the massive mandate they recd as business opportunity to expand business for Gujarat brands, BOB and Amul. Succeeded in the former and caught red handed in later. Shame but not ashamed. Unscrupulous mindset and arrogance on the part of top leadership is making BJP to lose elections in south and perhaps in north India also. Instead of capitalising on many opportunities that have come in the BJP way and growing voter base in the South, BJP is wasting them everytime. Look how Shah misbaved with Tamilisai in public. Amit Shah could be seen sitting next to the Seers in Karnataka in disrespectful posture. Modi downplaying CM Siddharamaiah on the stage. There are many such clips that are shown regularly in the media. How are they supposed to be the leaders of Hindus when they lack in qualities to be expected from a good Hindu. They better abandon Hindu credentials and just be politicians. In politics also, the leadership has been coming short. BJP used Yogi ji and Biswa Sarma during 2023 Karnataka state election campaign and lost badly. These are the leaders from laggard & lawless states. Anti incumbency was a joke after barely ruling for 3 years using defected MLAs. Sr BJP leaders from the state are hardly ever used for election campaign in Karnataka. This time, 2024, BJP used Annamala who is now sniffing opportunity from Karnataka. Already there is one stateless, constituencyless and useless FM, Mrs Nirmala Sitaraman. Right etiquettes, respect and dignity pay off in enhancing public perception. Leaders must educate themselves to learn and internalise diverse cultures, sensibilities of different regions. They must possess good understanding of federalism. Not treat common voter as commodity which can be bought through last minute Road Shows by Modi with showering of petals on him. Flagging off of Vande Bharat is still cheap. BJP leadership continues to misread people's support. It is Lose - Lose scenario. Congress is partially successful in winning the trust of the voters in south despite several set backs from time to time. Rajiv Gandhi payed for his arrogance in Karnataka and Andhra where he removed the CMs arbitrarily. Clearly with Modi at the helm BJP looks certain to lose ground. They are already looking like spent force. They need to renew very quickly. It is possible to consolidate in south with lots of research and localisation. That is a different model from the kind that BJP has set for itself.

Potential Shift of Small Parties of INDIA alliance plus independent to NDA should also have been touched in the conversation.

Many Thanks for Analyzing the current situation of Politics !! It would be VERY interesting to see who stands out bigger, taller & strongest in coming years either BJP or I.N.D.I.A !! Only TIME has the answer !! Let's Wait...as the countdown begins from 1st Jul 2024 ✋

Conducting any national level entrance exam July - Sept is foolhardy Delhi NCR flood South flood Mumbai flood N/e flood Uttarakhand landslides Focus on result fast track Not conducting exam in flood Which gives advantage to few state over others It's national exam Respect cr cr country examinee friends family relatives Opposition got to raise it before seeking VOTE from youth

Unpad uncomfortable useless politician😢

The PM will be drinking a lot of glasses of water.. 😂😂😂

Karan Thapar for the last month brings in guests who keep him happy by claiming Modi 3.0 will fall. He is going to run out of guests soon if he has to do it week after week for next 5 years. As for being representative. Congress claims to represent Muslims and dalits that's not quiet representative either

एक ब्राह्मण हू... मेरी पत्नी एक मुस्लिम है......🙏🇮🇳🙏💯🙏🙏💯💯

मोदींना बदले है ना बदलेंगे. वो अपने पॉलिटिक्स अपने हिसाब से करेंगे. कॅबिनेट का बटवारा और लोकसभा स्पीकर इस दो चीजो ने ये साबित कर दिया है. अब 5 साल विरोधी पक्ष और विरोधी पत्रकार बार बार ऐसी चर्चायें करके खुद का समाधान करती रहेगी.

modi called suhas palshikar and told him very clearly that he will be most uncomfortable.

Can Congress get the required number of MP to tople Narendra Modi BJP. LET US TRY TO MOVE FORWARD UNITED.

Karan should read this from a Former IPS Officer which says:-* I was so upbeat when Shashi Tharoor came into politics in 2009. I still remember talking to so many of my NRI friends on how the politics of India will change for better with highly accomplished people and intelligent people like him joining politics. Then by 2013, I was disillusioned with congress and felt Anna Hazare supported by IITian Kejriwal, IPS Kiran Bedi, great actor Aamir Khan will usher in a new change in India. I even donated to India against corruption, went to Ramlila maidaan to shout slogans *Now if I look back at it, the only thing I can do is laugh at myself. But I am happy that I realised the biggest flaw in my thinking. The reason we support people like Shashi Tharoor or a Kejriwal is they are well educated. We are brainwashed from childhood that education is equal to goodness*. *NO, IT IS NOT*. *Chidambaram is MBA from Harvard and we all know what he did. Mani Shankar Aiyar is from Cambridge - We all know what kind of rubbish he speaks. Kapil Sibal is Harvard Law graduate and all he does is write mercy petitions for terrorists*. *It is not that congress didn’t have highly educated people in the party. There were lots of them but they were all crooks. And a highly educated crook is even more dangerous as he can dupe you in even more innovative ways*. Everyone from *Islamic invaders to Britishers* were supported by *highly educated and intelligent* Indians. Yes, you need them to lord over the country? So *the rulers of India cultivated a group of crooks who were well read to rule over us and keep us poor. And Chachaji and his family also continued this trend and cultivated a group of highly educated crooks to rule India. Today we call this group as Lootyens as they stay in an area called Lutyens in Delhi and loot us.* *What is the change that BJP and Modi brought into politics?* *It made jokers like me realise that IVY LEAGUE DEGREES doesn’t make you a patriot, inculcate honesty or bring goodness.* *But people who cultivate character, personality on the basis of ethos of Culture and civilisation of India have patriotism and goodness in them*. *Do this experiment if you don’t believe me:* *You go into any random RSS Shaka in any part of the country and any time in the year*. *And see what they teach those students - Patriotism, Service, Goodness, Honesty and Simplicity.* *It is done every day and all throughout the year.* *Tell me which Ivy League Univ, IIT, IIM, St Stephens, Doon school or any school where you pay lakhs of rupees as fees teach it?* *I have been to world’s top Universities, have 6 degrees but no where my education taught me patriotism or goodness*. *It is my dad who taught me and the books I read written by Swami Vivekananda or the man I idolise Shaheed Bhagat Singh who did this.* *RSS shakhas do it for all the Sangh goers everyday. Hence people like Modi are so patriotic and honest. I don’t care if he went to school or he has MA or not.* *A person who reads Swami Vivekanand or goes to a RSS Shaka is any day better than a crook with IIT or Harvard degree.* *Yes that is what we need to realise.* *Believe in your own ethos or the goodness of your own country. You will any day be better than believing in those degrees*.

BJP has not even cobmnducted normal Census, how we expect Caste Census. In short, BJP is a party of Upper Caste and non upper caste are voting out of greed for money and a small slice of power.

Very deep psychoanalysis of Modi's regime in coming days. Recent example of a ruthless move is towards Kejriwal. Moreover , during the last 10 years, the regime has already achieved a control through its ideological manpower infiltration in Government institutions. This would help it pursue its own way of functioning. But there's a hope in the RSS against any such move. Let's hope that it will act in such eventuality more maturely and tame the Government if it falters .

The PM reminds me of a spoilt child who cannot get his way . God have mercy on us

With Congress unable to score century in 3 outings, Karan and his panelist s will continue rona dhona for another 5 years. Waite till 2047.😊

Uncertainty in the Horizon. Modi has to change drastically towards All of citizen equally and honest way.whatever rights are taken a way has to return back to his citizens.No more BJP and RSS game will work.only game will work with all opponents. That's why expert says Modi is very uncomfortable situation. Treat every citizen equally. No more Bulldozer policy will work.

His face was not ok...during hand shaking with rahul...

Now there is no need to change the Constitution. It can remain as it is and will be treated like Raj Ghat or Bhagvad Gita.

I have problems with any political scientist who psychoanalyzes and makes predictions. Keep in mind that NaMo is a survivor and very cunning. We can't say what he will do to stay in power.
