🚨 “Same Leader, New Label? Sisel Soman Questions India’s Selective Politics”
📰 Hind Samachar News Desk | Opinion | April 2026
India: In a sharp and thought-provoking observation, Sisel Panayil Soman, CEO of Hind Samachar News, has raised concerns over what he describes as “selective political judgement” in the country’s public discourse. Referring to the evolving narrative around Raghav Chadha, Soman highlighted how a leader once widely appreciated for his education, vision, and connection with the common people is now being viewed differently by certain sections of society.
🗣️ A Question of Consistency
“Yesterday, the same leader was considered educated and visionary. Today, he is being judged differently,” Soman noted, pointing to a noticeable shift in perception that appears to be influenced more by political alignment than by merit.
He questioned whether a leader’s qualifications, intellect, or ability can truly change overnight. “If the degree remains the same and the thinking remains the same, what exactly has changed?” he asked.
⚖️ Merit vs Political Bias
Soman further raised a broader concern whether the capability to serve the nation is being unfairly associated with a particular political affiliation. “Does working for the country belong exclusively to one party?” he questioned, emphasizing the need for objective evaluation of leadership.
📊 Changing Nature of Public Discourse
The statement also underlined a growing issue in political conversations where reactions are increasingly driven by emotion and polarization rather than logic and consistency. According to Soman, such trends weaken meaningful democratic dialogue.
🧭 A Call for Reflection
Concluding his remarks, Sisel Panayil Soman urged citizens to adopt a balanced and informed approach while forming opinions, rather than relying solely on trending narratives or shifting political sentiments.
“Leaders must be judged by their merit and actions not by changing perceptions influenced by political bias,” he stated
