When I watch your questions and topics then i happy much time.your voice is very good .it always improvement my courage and hesitation.thank you l like you
Chitra mam,
you are doing good job.well done
I like her most the way she grills politicians and administrators. She must continue her fire brand image . She must keep in mind the downtrodden public when she is performing her duties . She must more pungent in debates . She can only rag the powerful personalities . Today in corona lock down , common public is wandering here there in want of foof,water,rehabilitation. All of a sudden lockdown done , public got no chance to return to their villages . They stuck between working place and home .
You are very brilliant,bold , commitment,speed,passion etc value and you are one across the india,I will praise you.aapaki vasase me aaj tak channel dekhata hu.
Chitra madam you are great… Aapka Show hum dhekhte hai aaj tak par. Aap jab markaj tabliki Muslim chup karati ho tab hamko bhahut aacha lagta hai. God bless you madam.
