Reporters Without Orders Ep 358: ‘Official’ death toll at Kumbh, voting in Delhi’s reserved seats

46:02

This week, host Pratyush Deep is joined by Newslaundry reporters Avdhesh Kumar and Basant Kumar.


Avdhesh reported on how voters in Delhi’s 12 reserved seats voted in the recent polls. He explains that despite the AAP’s massive defeat, a large section of Dalit voters continued to vote for the party.


Basant was on the ground in Prayagraj reporting on the stampede at the Mahakumbh. He says the Uttar Pradesh government wasn’t being transparent about the actual death toll, and that it failed to manage the crowds that day. 


Tune in.
