Vir Sanghvi knows everything and understand everything. He is the new Yogendra Yadav. Or should we say the new Johnny Sins.
One day he lectures us on agricultural economics, the other day on astrophysics, the very next day on quantum computing, so on and so forth.
Basically he is on the waitlist for a Rajya Sabha ticket. Often enough, he showers adulation on Mamata Banerjee, MK Stalin, Hemant Soren and the likes. Hoping all the while to get a Rajya Sabha nomination and join his fellow ‘journalist’ Sagarika Ghose.

But we can’t seem to have any substantive debate, just partisan shouting by all parties and political trickery (mostly by the BJP)
Lamp posts. Even the light is reflected, not their own. 850 is just a bigger number than 543. No agency in their parties, with a high command culture. Or in Parliamentary, subject to whips, even allocation of time.
