Manoj Jha Exclusive Podcast with Preeti Choudhry | UnPolitics | EP 22

In a wide-ranging interview on India Today's 'UnPolitics' with Preeti Choudhry, RJD MP and National Spokesperson Manoj Kumar Jha discusses his political career, the 2024 election, and the future of the RJD. Jha explains his transition from academia to politics, stating, "I didn't come to Parliament to be a minister. I came to Parliament to convey a message." He addresses the persistent 'Jungle Raj' narrative associated with his party, his response to criticism from political strategist Prashant Kishor, and his personal philosophy of being "anti-establishment." Jha also details allegations against the Election Commission regarding the Bihar elections, which he terms the "first act of dishonesty." The conversation touches upon his PhD research on the Bhagalpur riots, his personal suffering during the COVID-19 pandemic, and his evolving views on gender issues.
