For years, the India Today journalist attacked the Prime Minister vociferously over a range of issues which resulted in him being on the receiving end of the Prime Minister's huge fan following.

Rajdeep, despite being in ideological opposition with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, praised the leader for his charisma. The India Today C Voter opinion poll suggests that the Narendra Modi-led NDA government is set to complete a hat trick with a thumping win in the upcoming general elections.
