The Devil's
Advocate.
ನನ್ನದಲ್ಲದ ಆಭಿಪ್ರಾಯಗಳನ್ನ ಬಳಸಿ ಪಕ್ಷಾತೀತವಾಗಿ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಗಳ ನಿಲುವನ್ನ ವಿರೋಧಿಸುವ ಮೂಲಕ ಸತ್ಯಾಸತ್ಯತೆಯನ್ನ ಹೊರತೆಗೆಯುವ ಕಾರ್ಯಕ್ರಮ.
A program that uncovers the truth by impartially arguing against the positions of political figures, using opinions that are not the host's own — cross-examining power, regardless of party.
The Bidadi Township Question
Karnataka's proposed Greater Bengaluru Integrated Township near Bidadi — over 500 acres marked for acquisition across villages in Ramanagara district — has farmers blocking survey teams, opposition parties on the streets, and a PIL now before the Karnataka High Court. The Devil's Advocate takes the government's chair on purpose, to see whether the development case actually holds up against the human one.

The Devil's Advocate isn't built to agree with anyone. It's built to make sure your own opinion can survive contact with its strongest opposite.
Question Everything
No position — ruling party or opposition — gets a free pass. Every claim made in public is treated as a claim to be tested, not a fact to be repeated.
Understand Deeply
Before a position is argued, it's studied — the policy, the history, the numbers, and the people it actually affects on the ground.
Speak Fearlessly
Once the homework is done, the conclusion is stated plainly, in Kannada, without hedging it into meaninglessness to keep everyone comfortable.
Same headline. Two chairs. Which one holds up?
This is the exercise every episode is built on. Read the claim, then flip the card to hear the strongest version of the opposite case.
Presented by a socio-political analyst, not a performer.
Tejas S built The Devil's Advocate out of a UPSC-KPSC educator's habit: read the source document before forming an opinion. That same discipline — polity, economy, public administration — is what shapes every episode, whether the subject is a land-acquisition notice, a welfare scheme, or a budget line nobody bothered to explain to the public.
What's currently under cross-examination.
The Bidadi Township Question
Land acquisition, farmer protests, and a state government's redevelopment ambitions — argued from the side you probably didn't expect.
