NewsX@9: Verdict in Naroda Patiya riots dents Modi's PM hopes - NewsX

2019-03-01 9

NewsX@9 is a NewsX special show which debates the main news event of the day. BJP MLA Maya Kodnani, a former minister in Narendra Modi government, was today awarded 28 years imprisonment by a Special Court which also gave a life term to a Bajrang Dal leader till death in the Naroda Patiya massacre-the worst of 2002 post-Godhra riots- in which 97 people were killed. This verdict has left Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP on very shaky ground. The concern for BJP is on two levels - how will the sentence of Modi's former aide impact Gujarat which is going to polls at the end of the year and how will it impact Modi's Prime Ministerial ambitions. We debate today- Will the Naroda Patiya verdict damage Narendra Modi's PM ambitions? We debate the question on the show and try to evolve consensus among our panelists over the issue. Watch out.
