ABP News launches new elections show ‘Vachan’

In the lead up to the India elections, ABP News has launched a new show ‘Vachan’, hosted by journalist Dibang.

The show maps the whole political drama and rhetoric of general election trough the speeches. ‘Vachan’ will explain everything which is said and unsaid in speeches of the main leaders.

‘Vachan’ is the latest show launched by ABP news covering the Indian elections. Pre-election programming began months ago. In fact, looking back, launch of the insightful and widely acclaimed series ‘Pradhanmantri’ in July 2013 was also the launch of channel�۪s pre-election programming. While this series was about those who have occupied the position of prime minister, the next series called 7 RCR that ended this week was about those who might occupy that chair after the elections.

The programming line up has ensured that the viewers are able to keep pace with fast-changing political scenario. ABP news launched a program called ‘Ghoshnapatra’, in which top political leaders face the questioning of an invited panel of experts and guests about what they intend to do if they come to power. Top leaders of BJP, Congress, Samajwadi Party and AAP have featured in this. In addition, recently-launched show called ‘Newsroom Mein Netaji’ enables the journalists and experts in the newsroom to interact with political leaders about the turn the election is taking.

One of the high points of channel�۪s election programming is the ‘Kaun Banega Pradhanmantri’ debates held on the ground in prominent constituencies of the country. In addition, over hundred neighborhood debates called ��nukkar bahas�۪ have captured the mood of the electorate at people�۪s doorsteps. Another program ��Ground Zero Se Dibang�۝ offers in-depth analysis of electoral issues.

To gauge the opinion of the nation, ABP news has commissioned a series of opinion polls and aired them with analysis and live political reaction. The evening prime time has been turned into an election prime time. The prime time show ‘ABP Live’ that airs from 21:00 – 22:00 now debates the top election story of the day.

‘Vachan’ airs Saturdays at 22:00, with a repeat telecast on Sunday mornings.

ABP News is available on Sky Digital channel 817 in UK.
