Though she did good, it was a poor idea. She was almost like Abhimanyu, she was surrounded by 3 others. While others could take breathers and attack her (BJP/Modi) from different angles, she had to defend all points, and then launch counter-points. Thankfully, the anchor provided more airtime to Meenakshi. Rana Ayyub started off quietly then got into offensive. There was this other guy, who kept nagging/interjecting through out the show, while 2 others had calm and measured attack going. For the choir, Meenakshi did a good job, for the opponents she was a bully/angry. And that will perception will be transferred to BJP/Modi.Pranav wrote:^^^ Yes, that was a fantastic single-handed performance by Meenakshi Lekhi. Very good Hindi too.
This lady has some serious talent.
BJP should clearly ensure that there will be more than 1 (at the minimum 2) who will speak for BJP. So Meenakshi, Nirmala, or Smriti how much ever capable, should not go alone. The BJP men on TV anyway put such a poor show. And if BJP demands, then the TV studios will eventually yield. They will not have a panel filled with pro-INC and anti-BJP stalwarts. It does get enough TRP ratings.
These shows are all opportunities to convert people sitting on the fence/wall. And BJP should have a clear plan, approach these strategically, with the participants efficient in different tactics.
