In today’s featured cartoon, Sajith Kumar portrays the issues that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has harped on at recent political rallies — from India’s recently-concluded G20 presidency to attacking the Opposition for remarks made against Sanatana practices.
Here, Satish Acharya refers to the recent incident of the INDIA alliance refusing to engage with certain news and media channels. Acharya humorously portrays the BJP as sympathetic to the news anchors blacklisted by the INDIA alliance.
In this cartoon, Sandeep Adhwaryu plays on the words Kota and ‘quota’ in relation to unemployment and competitive exams. Talking about the recent spate of student suicides in Kota, Adhwaryu makes an insightful point about the pressure on students as well as the quick fixes by the government to solve the problem.
Cartoonist Alok also satirizes the boycott of certain news channels by the INDIA alliance. The cartoon is a comical representation of news anchors that will no longer have access to representatives of political parties that are members of the bloc.
