I saw this interview - Udayan Mukherjee, just royally screwed Kamal Nath. I don't know if it is the twin influence of Raghav Bahl and Karan Thapar, both of whom work for CNBC TV 18. But Udayan's arguments were precise and probing. Kamal Nath was left an irritated man - trying rhetoric and deviation from the topic. None worked. I think, he actually disconnected the call in a huff. Udayan was left with a victorious grin of the last man standing.
I have written about Udayan earlier. In the guise of the man next door, there lies a sharp, intelligent and commanding media-man. Hats off to the guy.

Udayan Mukherjee cements his position as the best.

I think minister is right and the TV channel switched off the ministers telephone purposely (click sound didnt seem to be of phone as well) because the guy had apparently no answer to "farmer and consumer" point raised by minister. And the guy was just pretending to be coughing. He was actually stammering at end and throwing false smiles as if he won and minister had no answer and switched off his phone.
Exports of sugar was causing its scarcity in local market and hence sugar was again imported back to India. Just like British rule where cotton was supplied out of India and clothes were imported.
I back minister in this case. However there are even more areas where prices need to be controlled.
AM.
Ok showed the video to my dad as well. Even he agreed with me that Udayan (and may be TV channel) had no answer at the end.
Channel just put up argument which at first seemed right (and wanted public to think right) but when Kamal Nath defended himself well, the channel just switched him off.
"Will you" was rude anyway. Guy was unnecessarily trying to get on nerve and I found him to be inexperienced youth who was attempting to do Anil Kapoor of NAYAK.
AM.
LOL. Ok I am not after Udayan or am not a congressman. But since snapshot of both the videos looked same I just saw second video assuming you posted same video twice by mistake.
So need to comment on first video as well.(and then put an end)
First video too Kamal Nath makes valid point. And Udayan is stupid guy not to know what exactly does "excessive profit" mean. He just seems to act smart and is overconfident. In trying to look smart and doing other work while listening he even misheard the word excessive profit as excess profit.
In 2nd video(which I saw first) I did feel Kamal Nath hesistated a bit but after watching first video I am sure its just the way he speaks. He is matured and confident. He may have pulled the plug late on companies because of political (and you know what!) reasons. But now that congress is losing in elections they are shaken and hence taking steps which they should have taken earlier. The point is Kamal Nath (and other ministers) knows economics well and definitely much better than that Udayan. Its only that they start thinking it that way when elections are on head.
And do you think cement market would go down with all those never ending construction work going on? I feel the channel was paid to raise the question in general public (something like ppl paid MPs to ask question).
I am not with govt or congress but in this case Kamal Nath is right.
AM.
true .. plus he din allow kamal nath to speak on the sugar issue. he was trying to justify the ban on sugar exports by explaining the condition that was 2 yrs ago, but he was not allowed to do so by Udayan saying that we should discuss abt today. then y did he bring the sugar issue in the first place which a matter of past (6 months or a year). not saying kamal nath's decision is right but he was trying to cut the minister's atttempt to explain. His demand of asking cnbc to take consumer's input also was very right.

I cant believe such assertions have been made by people who hardly seem to understand any workings of the capital markets.
1. Anyone who has invested in ANY sugar company during the past 2 quarters has see a significant downward churn in his/hr portfolio.
2. Please before stating"
Exports of sugar was causing its scarcity in local market and hence sugar was again imported back to India" just see the amount of losses made by the Sugar companies
- the financial statements of the leading two sugar companies in INDIA.
a.Balramur Chini -

b.Bajaj Hindustan
http://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/sugar/bajajhindustan/12/14/quarterlyresults/marketprice/BH
In bajaj Hindustan there has been a dip by 81% in its net profit, making its turnover a 3.66Cr which by saying is a mediocre is a hyperbole in itself, set aside their personal family squabbles an 81% drop in net profit is huge( Please show these statements to ur DAD, i would like to know his opionion.)
3. For people who are stating kamal nath's credibility over udayan's over economics.
He is an economist by training having obtained his B.Sc. in Economics from Presidency College, Kolkata and an MA in Economics from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi.( ripped from wiki)
4. His coughs are customary if anyone of u folks do watch opening bell,yourstocks, bazaar morning call.
5. I read someone here found "to be inexperienced youth who was attempting to do Anil Kapoor of NAYAK."
The man has been doing this probably before you were born. nah his only 34 or dats what his profile shows, but let me assure his presence his very assuring to any market investors
I'll tell you what, whenever the market crashes just turn on tv-18 they would bring on um even though it wouldnt be his slot.(generally he is live from 9.30 to 10.30 and 2.30 to 3.30)
Suppose the market crashes around 1, they cancel the other anchor's prog and bring him on. investors relate to him but, like how you would to barkha dutt, or anderson cooper or any bloody hick
6. His so called rudeness is just channelizing a minute pain felt by all people invested in these sectors.
So before you criticize someone, you find out what he is all about.
I am done with all of you.
"So before you criticize someone, you find out what he is all about.
