Chief, truth be told, I haven’t done much. The @NDTV reporting team, however, has been on a roll. It’s great to see the team so charged up and raring to go. Few things energise a newsroom as much as breaking a big story. Hopefully, they can keep this momentum going and continue giving the competition a solid run for their money.
Ever since you have taken over the newsroom at NDTV ; there has been news break after news break . Well done Rahul . 😅

Solid work by @dpkBopanna in breaking the story of @siddaramaiah’s resignation on @ndtv. At a time when the @INCIndia meeting in Delhi had barely concluded — and official spokespersons were still denying that the CM’s resignation had even been discussed — Deepak Bopanna confidently RFAd the news break that Siddaramaiah would soon step down. While other channels stayed with regular programming, @dpkBopanna, @ShivAroor and @TMVRaghav were boldly reporting that the CM had been asked to resign. Given that no one else seemed to have the story — and considering how big the development was — I was a bit wary. These things can sometimes go wrong. But @dpkBopanna and the NDTV assignment team were confident in their reporting. Nicely done, Girish Nair, @tarini28 and team.

NDTV kicks off its Punjab election coverage with an exclusive interview with Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. For the first time, Mann answers sharp questions on the fallout from the exit of Raghav Chadha, Sandeep Pathak, and other AAP Rajya Sabha MPs. I pressed the Chief Minister on his government’s track record on corruption, drugs, and law and order. Is Bhagwant Mann calling the shots in Punjab, or is he being remote-controlled by Delhi? Watch our full conversation from the NDTV Nava Punjab Summit—laced with his trademark humor and political satire—here: youtube.com/watch?v=66FLAU5Y…

Today is #RajivGandhi’s 35th death anniversary. In March 2013 I became the first and till date, the only Indian journalist to visit the bunker of the man who ordered his assassination —  LTTE Chief Velupillai Prabhakaran. I was then a reporter with @indiatoday magazine & granted rare access to the erstwhile LTTE-controlled northern region where thousands of LTTE fighters and civilians had died in the final phase of Eelam War IV in May 2009. We saw the exact spot, Nanthikadal, where Prabhakaran was gunned down by troops of the Sri Lankan Army’s 53rd division. Prabhakaran lay on his back on a patch of mud-soaked grass, eyes wide, his head blown open by a high-caliber weapon. The Lankan soldiers had shown Prabhakaran as much mercy as he had shown former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi at Sriperumbudur on May 21, 1991.  For someone who had followed India’s fascinating and bloody entanglement in Sri Lanka through India Today magazine, and the exclusives of @ShekharGupta through the 1980s, this was a dream story.  How did a print story become a TV exclusive ? I’ll admit to some journalistic sleight-of-hand here. The Sri Lankan authorities had cleared us to report a print story, but we also shot high-res video footage on  DSLR (standard-issue for print photographers). The story eventually played across all India Today group properties— TV, Mail Today and the magazine.  Five months after our story broke, the Sri Lankan army filled the bunker with explosives and destroyed it. (The Headlines Today story — don’t miss the TV panel at the end moderated by @rahulkanwal— with @Swamy39 and G Parthasarathy).
