Students of the Indian Institute of Technology - Bombay (IITB) felt that the purpose behind conducting a talk show on the upcoming general elections at the request of a Hindi news channel was to put forward the opinions of IITians, but that is not what happened.

The channel aired the show on March 1 with quotes from non-IITians, who were present at the event, and ran it under the news ticker – IIT Bombay Students Support Modi Government. A students' body on campus, Ambedkar Phule Periyar Study Circle (APPSC), has taken serious offence and written an email to the institute administration, seeking an explanation.
