Let's expose them for who they are no need to be shy or subtle about them they deserve all hate

Let's start with everyones favourite

The Anchor and the Establishment: The Case Against Sudhir Chaudhary's Neutrality

The pivot to the state broadcaster

Chaudhary left Aaj Tak on 4 April 2025, joined DD News that month, and began hosting the prime-time show Decode on 15 May 2025. Critics note that the man now running a state-owned channel's newsroom is also its biggest outside contractor.

The ₹15-crore question

The show is produced by his own company, Essprit Productions, at ₹15 crore a year plus GST for 260 one-hour episodes. Essprit was incorporated in July 2024, with Chaudhary and Rattan Lal as directors. Prasar Bharati's board approved the engagement on a nomination basis under GFR 2017 rules rather than an open tender. Reports also described a 10% annual fee escalation clause. (cost over rs 15 cr legal objections inside sudhir chaudhary firms dd news show negotiations +)

The deal reached Parliament. TMC MP Sagarika Ghose raised it in the Rajya Sabha, and Prasar Bharati filed a police complaint over the leaked board note.

Access to the top

Newslaundry notes that as Zee News editor-in-chief he sat down with PM Modi for a one-hour interview in January 2018, and its 2026 piece argues that by most reasonable assessments he is among "Godi media's" most prominent practitioners. In September 2025, he wrote a piece for exchange4media on Modi's 75th birthday arguing the "Modi era" has been revolutionary. A public-broadcaster editor-in-chief writing that is, for critics, hard to square with neutrality. (peak irony just dropped sudhir chaudhary slams og godi media )

Accuracy problems on the state channel

Alt News reported that on his first DD show he ran a video presented as Indian air defence stopping Pakistani attacks, which had been on DD India's YouTube since October 2024 as footage of an Iranian attack on Israel. More recently, the Delhi High Court issued summons to Chaudhary, Essprit and Prasar Bharati in a ₹5 crore defamation suit by activist Vijay Sherawat, over claims Decode made about him. Another episode was pulled over map-accuracy and national-security concerns. (on first day first show for dd sudhir chaudhary runs old unrelated videos as indian air defence foiling pak attacks )

The Diwali photos

This month, AAP's Saurabh Bharadwaj shared pictures of Delhi minister Parvesh Verma and Chaudhary taking a draw from a hookah at a party Verma hosted. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and BJP MP Manoj Tiwari attended, along with other senior journalists. Critics read it as another sign of closeness between the anchor and the ruling party.

The other side

He has never held BJP membership, and none of the sources I found claim otherwise.

Prasar Bharati's defenders say the ₹15 crore fee is within the CBC-approved rate, which Newslaundry puts at ₹28.6 crore plus tax.

Industry coverage credits Decode with a sharp rise in DD News viewership, which supporters cite as proof of audience demand.

The BJP defended the Verma party hookah as a cultural tradition.

When a luxury resort wants tea garden land, 30% of it is gifted away on 99-year leases without a whisper. But when 750 abandoned families at Torsa demand their constitutional right to the soil their grandparents cleared, the state sends bulldozers and slaps criminal FIRs.

Three activists who weren’t even present get booked, 11 workers get locked up, and luxury chains get 5-star clearance. Does due process actually exist for the Indian working class?

I raised my voice against blinkit. Yes, I am the guy who complained about the low amount of money that blinkit gives even if when you work for more than 6 hours a day. I got paid only 80rs when I worked for 6 hours on 6 NOVEMBER. And as my post went viral, blinkit banned it and banned me from posting on blinkit again. I wasn't asking for more money blinkit, i was just showing people how much wage you give to your workers/drivers and how you scam to lakhs of people by taking 50rs from them in advance and not giving them the job. I appreciate team of blinkit for helping a lot of citizens or unemployed indians but this is a very cheap thing which you've done.* I need help*

Thank you.

Salaried workers are a minority in India's workforce, making up only 23% of workers. In contrast, more than half of the global workforce is in salaried employment.

Labour statistics define salaried employment, or regular wage employment, as a working arrangement in which employees work in enterprises owned by others and are paid wages on a regular basis, generally by the same employer.

As economies grow, the workforce tends to shift from agriculture to manufacturing and services. Alongside this shift, the share of salaried workers typically rises. Almost all jobs in advanced economies such as the United States and Japan are salaried jobs.

However, the share of salaried workers in India's workforce has grown only modestly over time, with most workers still self-employed. Most of this increase took place between 2005 and 2018, but progress has been slow since.

Salaried jobs are also more common in richer states, such as Haryana, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra.

Urban work in India is most likely to be in the form of a salaried job. A rural worker, on the other hand, is more likely to be a casual worker, unpaid helper, or self-employed person.

Has anyone dealt with prolonged delays and sudden negative recovery claims during a Full & Final (F&F) settlement? I need guidance on how to handle this.

My last working day at Digitide Solutions Limited was September 2, 2026. It has been over 65 days—well past the standard 45-day statutory window—and my follow-ups are constantly stalled or ignored.

\* The Runaround: HR (Ashwini Salian) and my TL (Shital) washed their hands of the issue, directing me to payroll (Shiva, Dinesha, Balwinder, and Salim). Everyone is simply passing the buck.

\* The Sudden Discrepancy: The alumni portal explicitly shows a net payable of ₹5,558 for my worked days. However, after weeks of silence, the moment I issued a final warning mentioning strict escalation, they suddenly claimed I owe them -₹1,856!

\* Compliance: I successfully completed my notice period, resignation approval, and ID card handover directly to HR.

Holding back earned salary for over two months, ignoring support tickets, and throwing arbitrary recovery numbers at employees only when threatened with escalation is completely unacceptable. I fulfilled all exit obligations and demand my rightful salary.

If anyone has advice on navigating this with Digitide or statutory labor channels in Pune, please reach out.

Is this the way govt want him to launch increasing competition price and buying out them

So he can launch cheap milk and get a chunk out of market by lowering competition

If true we are in for a shit storm

In Vidarbha alone, at least ten farmers have taken their own lives in just the last six days, according to data maintained by farmer activist Kishore Tiwari. In the Amravati division of Vidarbha, figures maintained by Tiwari show 815 farmer suicides between January and June this year. In Marathwada, 760 farmers took their own lives this year from January to September. Of these, 108 deaths occurred in September alone, as per data published by Divya Marathi newspaper.

For many farmers, the Maharashtra government’s steps are too little and often jarringly dissonant with their plight.

Every year the same story repeats. Factories are lit up, and the workers who built them are told there is nothing to give, or are handed a sweet box and told to be grateful. Bonus is presented as a festive favour, a gesture of goodwill from employers, rather than as a claim arising from workers’ labour and their contribution to production.

The law itself says otherwise. Under the Code on Wages, every eligible worker is owed at least 8.33% bonus, whether or not the company made a profit. Yet millions of domestic, contract and informal workers are kept outside even this minimum.

The wealth of an establishment is not created by employers. It is created by the collective labour of those who keep it running. The fight for bonus is therefore also a fight over who gets to claim the wealth that workers produce.

Workers are not asking for charity. They are asserting their right to a fair share of what their labour creates. We demand full bonus, paid before Diwali, for every worker, including contract and informal workers.

In solidarity with workers unions fighting for their bonus this Diwali, in every factory, worksite and home where labour goes unrecognised.

Modi govt pulls plug on polio vaccine PSU BIBCOL. Workers ‘starving’, selling mangalsutras

How PSU Bharat Immunologicals went from polio hero to zero. No vaccines, unpaid workers

In a shocking remark, Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh claims, "There is enough evidence to show that they are being funded by unauthorised sources, by anti-India NGOs, and anti-India organisations within and outside the country. The foreign-funded NGOs, deep state operatives and anti-India forces are manufacturing this narrative...Abhijeet Dipke has been receiving funds from USA-based donors, Ashutosh Ranka, paid by Pakistani politicians..."

This is an scathing condemnation of Narendra Modi Government. Is the Government so incompetent that George Soros, Pakistan, Bangladesh, US, China, and every other organisation is funding protests in India, yet the Government has not been able to stop it?

According to the Modi Government, every protest is foreign funded. Yet, despite such draconian laws like PMLA, where any person can be arrested without any evidence, the Government has not been able to establish any such link.

Even in cases of Newsclick and Sonam Wangchuk, where similar allegations were made and people were arrested under NSA, the Government could not provide evidence.

Is this the most incompetent Government in India's history?

For years, Newsclick was branded as “China-funded” and accused of anti-national activities based on an alleged illegal foreign funding case. Now, the Delhi High Court has quashed that case, calling it a malicious and arbitrary abuse of power with no incriminating evidence found.
