Sagarika Ghose, the journalist-turned-politician who recently made headlines for joining the Trinamool Congress, is set to contest the Rajya Sabha polls.
In this candid conversation with Sudipto Mondal for What’s your ism? – a podcast by The News Minute and Newslaundry – Ghose talks about the BJP, Mamata Banerjee, media, Marxism and intellectuals in Indian politics.
She says the mainstream media has been “captured by the Modi government” and the “journalists at Republic TV are not journalists but propagandists”.
What brings her to politics? What does she think about being compared to France’s infamous queen Marie Antoinette? Why does she think intellectuals don’t make good politicians?
Watch out for the full episode.
