Subramanian Swamy draws a lesson from Ramayan & Mahabharat's return to TV amid lockdown

BJP leader Dr Subramanian Swamy revealed that he had learnt an important lesson from the two evergreen epics that returned to TV screens on DD, Ramayan & Mahabharat.

Both the shows, popular in the 1980s, returned to television screens on public demand as India remains under a 21-day lockdown to tackle the coronavirus pandemic. Taking to Twitter, Swamy said that he had an important takeaway from watching the shows again and it involved those in power not allowing cunning characters to call the shots. Referring to Manthara and Shakuni, two pivotal characters who were responsible for the turn of events in Ramayan & Mahabharat respectively, Swamy said that those in power must make sure characters with devious intelligence as Manthara and Shakuni shouldn't be allowed to call the shots.
