Ashutosh is a former senior AAP leader. He had resigned from AAP because of serious differences with autocrat Arvind Kejriwal. He was once the face of Aaj Tak and
later rose to become the managing director of IBN 7, a Hindi news channel.
Unfortunately, during his last few months as a journalist, he turned the news
room into a political propaganda house for AAP which led to the fall of IBN 7.
He remained quite a controversial figure on social media.
Profile of Ashutosh
Ashutosh was
born in 1965 in Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh. His father – Mr. S L N Gupta - was an
Income Tax Officer and hence Ashutosh had a lavish lifestyle from his
childhood. He is a Bania by caste and had dropped surname – Gupta – during the Mandal
agitation. The motive was to demote the use of caste in the public life. It is
saddening to see that such a person become completely casteist in recent
months.
Ashutosh Gupta
did schooling from Varanasi and later shifted to Allahabad University for
Graduation. Then, he went to the prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi
from where he completed M. A. and M. Phil.
Ashutosh was
preparing for Civil Services when a chance meeting with Mrinal Pandey, the
prominent Hindu print journalist, changed his future. Mirnal got impressed with
the outlook and attitude of Ashutosh and asked him to join Hindustan, the Hindi
Newspaper. Since then, there is no looking back for Ashutosh. He joined Aaj Tak
and become the Executive Producer of this channel starting from a local
correspondent. His journalistic career is bright apart from his last few months
where he was abusing the journalistic ethics by openly taking sides of Arvind
Kejriwal.
Wife of Ashutosh Gupta
Ashutosh is
married to Maneesha Taneja. That was a love marriage and Ashutosh parents
opposed the relationship. Maneesha was a junior to Ashutosh in JNU from where,
like Ashutosh, she has also done M. A. and M. Phil. It is said that Maneesha
was the main reason why Ashutosh couldn’t crack UPSC Civil Services Prelims in
his two attempts and later accepted the offer of Mrinal Pandey to become a
journalist.
According to the
affidavit filed by Ashutosh during the last Lok Sabha Election, he and his wife
have property worth Rs. 8 Crores. Needless to say, the valuation is as per
circle rate. If you go by market rate, they are richer by many more times.
Obviously, Ashutosh is not an Aam Aadmi as rightly pointed by few media houses.
There is no
other information available in the public domain about children of Ashutosh. He
only shares information about his two dogs – sometimes with idiotic English.
Controversies
Ever since
Ashutosh joined AAP, he has constantly been in controversy. When Arvind
Kejriwal was detained by Election Commission in Gujarat, he led a gang of goons
and attacked the BJP history. That incident is a blot on the Indian democracy.
He is also quite
poor when it comes to English language. He can’t write a simple sentence. His
vocabulary is pathetic. His sentence construction is outrageous. Some examples
are attached with this post.
Ashutosh was also in news for comparing an alleged rapist Sandip Kumar with Mahatma Gandhi, J L Nehru and Atal Bihari Vajpayee. He seems to indicate that there is nothing wrong in political leaders taking sexual favors from gullible women. His idiotic defense of Sandeep Kumar and SEX CD embarrassed the party.
Girlfriend of Ashutosh Gupta
A picture is
being shared on the social media where Ashutosh is seen getting close to a
girl. This is not a morphed picture, but it also doesn’t indicate anything.
Fortunately, the face of the girl has been concealed.
There is nothing
wrong in criticizing someone. There is nothing wrong in peaceful protest
against Ashutosh backing of Sandeep Kumar. But, sharing images over social media
without any proof is a moral crime.
