The Controversy Surrounding BJP Spokesperson Sambit Patra

Does anybody ever hate Sambit Patra? I don’t think so. He is an asset for the opposition, even though there is no real opposition left in practical terms. Any remaining skeleton of the opposition at the center stage wouldn’t mind if Mr. Patra continues his job for eternity. If I were in politics, I would love him to be on the other side always. There is no question of hating him.

BJP Supporters’ View

As for BJP supporters, I have no way to know how they feel about him. He has dedicated himself tirelessly in countless TV debates and has never wavered in his stance. As the job demands, he has never been in a defensive position. I think there is nothing to complain about Sambit Patra. He is doing a decent job under the given circumstances and following party lines. BJP doesn’t have anything to defend on any front—NPA crisis, economic failure, unemployment issues, PMC Bank failure, Yes Bank crisis, and more.

Linking Sambit Patra to Reputation Negatives

No one but pro-congress supporters started hating Sambit Patra due to his claim that one of their spokespersons, Jay Chand, was a traitor. Jay Chand's sudden death then led to the public linking it with Sambit Patra's remarks. This is a classic example of spreading unverified rumors and linking personal attacks to tragic events.

Debate on Aaj Tak

Rajiv Tyagi, the Congress spokesperson, had a massive heart attack the same day as his last debate on Aaj Tak. Sambit Patra was part of another panel in the same debate. As always, the Congress/Rajiv were trying to obfuscate the Bangalore riots by Islamic extremists, while Sambit Patra insisted that Rajiv should not play the pseudo-secular card. All in a day's business.

Public Reaction and Social Media Impact

Few hours after Rajiv Tyagi died, the CongressAap left cell went on overdrive to extract mileage from the tragedy. The hashtag became a trend on Twitter for a few hours. It was precisely during this time that some people started hating Sambit Patra, accusing him of causing Rajiv Tyagi's death. Both of them were in a debate on Aaj Tak, but it was the hand of fate that led to Rajiv Tyagi's sudden death due to a cardiac arrest in Ghaziabad.

Conclusion

Sambit Patra, like any politician, has faced criticism and backlash. However, without concrete evidence, linking someone's harsh words to another person's death is unjustified. As a society, it is crucial to hold ourselves accountable and avoid spreading unverified information. Sambit Patra’s role in TV debates is noteworthy, and his stance, whether one agrees or not, is a part of the political discourse.
