If you thought political interviews were boring, akhilesh yadav just flipped the script and made them a spectacle. The Uttar Pradesh leader has repeatedly shown he doesn’t just answer questions—he serves a full-course roast, leaving biased journalists squirming. Here’s how he did it, instance by instance.
1. Power Plant Burn 🔥
When asked to name a single power plant built by the bjp government in UP, the journalist froze. Akhilesh pressed: “Just tell me the name.” Silence. The poor reporter tried to dodge, but Akhilesh wasn’t letting go. The audience could see him calmly but effectively exposing the media’s inability to challenge facts. Result: one cooked andhbhakt journalist, mid-interview.
2. arnab goswami Shade 😎
A Republic journalist suggested, “You should talk to Arnab Goswami.” Akhilesh didn’t miss a beat: “Where is he right now, in jail?” Boom. Instant dark humor, maximum embarrassment.
3. Budget Burn 💰
Asked about budget expectations from the bjp government, Akhilesh cheekily said: “Press will get more. I know you are a bjp channel.” The subtle roast? While journalists were expecting a soft answer, he reminded them of the money trail, with bjp media reportedly getting ₹1,700 crore.
4. List of Honest Journalists 📋
Anjana of Republic tv got a front-row lesson in humility. Akhilesh announced he had a list of “honest journalists” and her name was on it. When she protested, he calmly clarified, “How can it be a taunt? Your TRP is going low, and credibility is finished.” Mic drop.
5. Modi vs yogi Reality Check ⚖️
When asked who was better—Modi or Yogi—he said, “Both are equally bad.” Then he turned the tables: Why isn’t the media covering news against bjp like they did during his government? The point: media behavior shifts depending on who’s in power, and he isn’t afraid to call it out.
The Bigger Picture
Akhilesh isn’t just answering questions—he’s teaching a masterclass in accountability. Each interaction exposes the biases, gaps, and hypocrisy of the so-called “godi media.” Whether it’s using humor, sarcasm, or straightforward facts, he turns interviews into a showcase of media reality.
Bottom Line:
When akhilesh yadav steps in front of biased media, it’s less an interview and more a roast session. From jaw-dropping comebacks to hard-hitting truths, he’s proving that sometimes the pen (or the mic) isn’t mightier than the truth—and he wields it like a pro chef with a hot skillet.
