CNN IBN show

I watch this channel for the news and news based programmes. At 10 o'clock at night they have a show called 'Face the Nation'. Yesterday it was about the nuclear deal and the Left parties opposition to the deal. The host was Sagarika Ghosh who is the better half of Rajdeep Sardesai.
Normally she researches her subject well and asks good probing questions, but yesterday she kept trying (unsuccessfully !) to make a hero out of Prakash Karat who is the general secretary of the CPM.
Mr Depankar Mukherjee of the CPM, who was one of the participants, kept reminding her that all decisions in the party are taken collectively and not according to any one person's whims and fancies. Mr Karat is only the spokesperson for those decisions. Mr Subramanium Swamy was the other participant and attacked the CPM for not being open to new ideas and to changes taking place in the world.
