Senthilvel, a former News 18 Tamil Nadu anchor who was shown the doors by the channel management, after popular vlogger Maridhas accused the channel and its anchors of favouring one particular ideology and political party, started his own Youtube channel a few weeks ago. Since then, he has been sharing his views on current issues targeting the BJP and also interviewing personalities who are critical of the current regime at the Centre.
In his latest video, Senthilvel makes a desperate attempt to take a dig at the BJP by ‘interviewing Jawaharlal Nehru’. Yes, Jawaharlal Nehru was resurrected from death and was interviewed by Senthil about the rise in prices of fuel, onion and gold and the India-China situation, because apparently the BJP has been blaming Nehru for all that is wrong with the nation now.
However, in this video, Nehru doesn’t talk but just keeps staring at the screen looking at the tantrums thrown by Senthilvel.
Since, Nehru did not respond to any of the questions, Senthilvel brings in Indira Gandhi and poses the same questions who does nothing but blinks her eyes.
In an attempt to do something ‘different’ and to get people watch his videos which hasn’t been getting much traction, this adventure of Senthilvel has turned out to be the butt of all jokes.
Senthilvel had anchored shows for Tamil mainstream news channels like Puthiyathalaimurai and News 18 Tamil Nadu. He quit/was expelled after Maridhas exposed how anchors and editors in the mainstream Tamil news channels hold a ideological hegemony and favour one particular party.
