In this episode of our podcast, we decided to invite Priyanka Chaturvedi, a Member of Parliament in India's Rajya Sabha, to teach us how the state government works. Because let's be honest, most of us have no idea what's happening there! 

But fear not, we have made it hilarious with all the important questions, like, "Is TV News the New Entertainment?" and  "What bag is she carrying currently?"
 
We have also discussed important matters, like the curious case of Shiv Senas in the country and how our government actually works, but we have done it all with a side of laughter and a sprinkle of sarcasm.

So come join us for an episode that's equal parts informative and hilarious. Who knows, you might even learn a thing or two about state government! Or not. But at least you'll have fun trying.
