Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Monday tweeted that he is up to launch a new video series where he will share his thoughts on “current affairs, history and crisis”.
In a subsequent tweet, Gandhi also pointed out at “a large part of Indian news media” that, he said, was “captured by fascist interests”. “A hate filled narrative is being spread by television channels, whatsapp forwards and false news. This narrative of lies is tearing India apart (sic),” he added.
Gandhi’s announcement comes in the middle of a crisis brewing in the Congress government in Rajasthan, with an ongoing tiff between Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and his deputy Sachin Pilot.
Gandhi has lately been using videos to conduct interviews and make interactions with experts, mostly for issues pertaining to Covid-19.
The Congress leader has held a series of interactions since April — with economists Raghuram Rajan and Abhijit Banerjee, health experts Ashish Jha and Johan Giesecke, industrialist Rajiv Bajaj as well as former US diplomat Nicholas Burns.
