Director Vivek Agnihotri is busy making his trilogy “on truth, on justice, and on life” with The Tashkent Files (2019), The Kashmir Files (2022), and the upcoming Delhi Files: The Bengal Chapter. He agrees that he makes ‘agenda-driven’ films, but unlike other filmmakers like Karan Johar, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and the late Yash Chopra, his agenda is that of making socio-political films. “Does Karan Johar not make agenda-driven films? He says family is the biggest thing, is that not an agenda? Yash Chopra ji made films on ‘love is everything,’ is that not an agenda? I love Karan, he’s a wonderful director and producer, I don’t have any problem with him. But he’s established himself in the world of fashion, everyone in his films is fashionable, that’s his life’s agenda,” said Agnihotri. In the podcast on the YouTube channel of Digital Commentary, Agnihotri argued that everyone has an agenda. “When Vidhu Vinod Chopra ji made Shikara (2020), then he said, ‘No, everyone should forget what happened to Kashmiri Pandits. They should hug it out and …

Delhi Election Result 2025: “Congress Finishing Its Allies One-By-One, Steals Their Agendas”: PM Modi

Published by Webster

New Delhi: A jubilant Prime Minister Narendra Modi – celebrating his Bharatiya Janata Party‘s win in the 2025 Delhi election – ripped into an already battered Congress in a victory speech Saturday evening, accusing his rival of “stealing” agendas and voters from its allies, and “finishing (them), one by one”. In a long speech at the BJP’s city HQ, he launched a ferocious attack, calling the Congress a “parasite party” and mocking it for failing to win a single seat in six consecutive major Delhi elections; the party has won zero seats in each of the last three state and federal elections in the city. “I have said before… the Congress is a parasite party. They take other parties with them whenever they are drowning. Their method is unique… they steal their agendas and then target their voters. In Uttar Pradesh, they are targeting the Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party voters,” he said. “They are doing the same thing in Tamil Nadu (where the ruling DMK is an ally) and Bengal and Jammu and …
