Parth MN from People’s Archive of Rural India (PARI) joins the regular Hafta panel to share his ground experiences during the Maharashtra farmers' protest. Has the state government’s assurance satisfied them? How did Mumbai treat the farmers when they carried on the protest in the city? Parth tells us why it was a well organised march. Abhinandan Sekhri, Manisha Pande, Raman Kirpal, Anand Vardhan and Madhu Trehan also talk about Naresh Agrawal's comment on Jaya Bachchan, which he made after he was denied a Rajya Sabha ticket to make place for her. Anand dissects the comment and tries to explain why he said that. They also discuss Finance Bill 2018, which was passed in Parliament without discussion. Anand brings up a funny comment by Akhilesh Yadav which was not talked about much in the news. Also, emails from our subscribers. Listen up, there is a song dedication in the end too.
