SHALABH MANI TRIPATHI

Shalabh is an example of an uncommon life and prestigious achievements which any common man can relate to. Coming from a modest family, his father was a teacher in a Government school and later on he retired as a Principal and an elder brother who is well-known Satirists, Shalabh got a very simple and learned atmosphere at home and this probably left a profound impact in his personality which can be seen in his simple nature.

He is an example of an educated thoughtful young mind on fire to contribute something to society. So it was only natural for him to take a career which impact not thousands but millions of people, and he found this in Journalism. Right after completing Post Graduation in Mathematics in 1998 he joined Dainik Jagran as a Journalist and thus began a story of this fierce and uncommon Journalist. Believing on his instincts he worked on to climb the leader of success in the career. After working with Dainik Jagran and Amar Ujala, Shalabh joined Channel 7(later IBN7 and now News18 India) as Bureau Head in Bihar.

After a successful tenure in Bihar he was given responsibility of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand as Bureau Chief and Senior Editor of IBN7 (now News18 India). His journalism in Uttar Pradesh was a mile-stone in his career and a contribution to Media as well. He set up an example for young Journalists. One of the two most prominent examples of his fearless nature is Dr. Sachan murder case for which the Government tried to suppress his voice and he was arrested. But here his popularity among his colleagues and fellow journalists can be witnessed as all the prominent media people came together to stand against Shalabh’s arrest and he was released and all the false charges were dropped against him.

Another example where Shalabh displayed his commitment towards his career was uncovering the truth of NRHM Scam. Shalabh along with his close friend and colleague Manoj Rajan Tripathi, worked smartly and fearless manner to bring the truth to the people.By now Shalabhmani Tripathi had become a very well-known name. He achieved almost everything from journalism as a career as anyone aspires. But very unlikely Shalabh’s aspirations was about to take turn. The decisive point was the 2014 Loksabha Elections when BJP for the first time was contesting elections under the leadership of Mr. Narendra Modi, who become a synonym for development, progressive thinking and man of action. BJP won an overwhelming majority, a mandate which was not seen in recent politics of India. Modi’s commitment towards the development and transformation of country created an atmosphere where politicians have a pro-development power in center. Looking this as an opportunity to work for the people of country with BJP committed under the vision of Mr.Modi, Shalabh decided to join the politics as social and moral responsibility.

Answering to his inner calling Shalabh resigned from News18 India, and a new journey began. In December 2016he joined BJP. With all the success of the past we can only wonder what this new born leader has to offer, and what new heights Shalabh will scale. He is resolute to leave no stones unturned to deliver his promises to his fellow countrymen. Recognizing his abilities BJP made him State Spokesperson in January of 2017.

Shalabh’s ordinary beginning and successful career and achievements are testimony to the fact that being faithful to your duties and profession is fulfilling. All that can be hoped is that Shalabh will continue to surprise us and will be a relentless agent of change and Development of our State and Country. He has proven himself to be someone to count on!
