It seems Abhijeet Bhattacharya judges reality shows on the basis of region , caste and religion.He created a fiasco when Mussarat came on the show but finally backtracked from his stand.
He has continuously given very high marks to Sanchita even when she did not sang well. He always goes out of the way to praise Sanchita and Sanchita belongs to Kolkata.
Raja and Jaswir who are giving mindblowing performances one after another but they never get good comments and marks from Abhijeet.
In last weeks show Abhijeet even crossed his limits in supporting Sanchita and Aneek.In the clipping showed in the show he says that Raja Hasan and Jaswir are the weakest couple and should be eliminated first.
Here is the video of what Abhijeet said:
Come on Abhijeet da the whole world is watching your judgement and how come you can say that Sanchita and Meenal are better singers then Raja Hasan.Jaswir is also a great dancer. It was too mean of you to comment like that. In fact Judge Ahmed was wise to refuse to comment on the matter. Raja Hasan has been recognised as a good singer by big music directors and Sanchita and Aneek has nothing to their credit.
Abhijeet Da aankhen kholo regional and religion bias se bahar niklo aur saari duniya aapko dekh rahi hai. Aap judge ki kursi pe ho wahan to beimaani mat karo.You are depriving Raja and Jaswir from what they should get and you are not doing justice to the chair on which you are sitting.

I like to think of his attitude toward sanchita and raja in the following way:
He criticizes Raja and Jassi because he know that they are very talented and are the best among all the pairs, and expects so much more from them. Also, he believes that raja, at the age of 28, still has Room to improve.
On the other hand. He does not expect anything from sanchita thus he is always amazed by her performances. Also, he does not criticize her to do better because he feels that sanchita had reached her potential and she is only 18 or 19.
Looking at abhijeets views it seems as though he Truely feels that Raja should continue to improve because Raja has a legitamate chance to make it HUGE in bollywood. He does not feel the same for sanchita.
So friends/Fans lets take his comments positively and hope for the best.

Rahul Abhijeet may critisize if Raja or Jaswir dont do well but he should give the correct marks and I feel disgusted when Sanchita gets 9 although she dint sang well and Raja getting 7 even when he rocks the song and at least he should not say Raja and Jaswir are the weakest and should be eliminated.
They are on national tv so things should not be biased.

Jugal Bhai … i get really angry when that happens … but it seems that abhijeet has his own way of rating the contestants. He marks them relative to their own strengths.
In the case of sanchita she is not singing well compared to the other but compared to herself she is singing really well.
For Raja, we saw him take on songs that are not NFAK,Sukhwinder, Kailash kher songs and thus it was something new for the judges to hear. Compare rajas recent performances and compare then to the time when he sang Lagan Lagi or Nasha Hi Nasha hai … that is what i feel abhijeet is looking at when he marks … not how well did Raja sing compared to Sanchita or Aneek ….
And remember Abhijeet was the one who said on national television to raja the aap jaise singer fo recording studio mein hona chaiye …. so there is love for raja and the criticism is positive criticism …. just what i feel
…
But i was disappointed by the marks he got for the Kangna performace … her deserved better than a 7 ….

Abhijeet is crazy…

Rahul sir aap bahut optimistic aadmi ho yaar..but sachhai ye hai ki abhijeet has a very unstable kind of personality and he is not sitting on the judge’s chair to interpret things in his own way but to give the decision according to the spirit of the chair and give number according to the performance rather than setting different standards for individuals.
Even if he thinks that sanchita has reached its limit in singing then giving her higher marks is like doing injustice to her also because he is shutting down the scope of improvement for the gal.
