The Prime Minister thanking the Karyakartas for the effort they
put virtually signaling the start of Modi 3.0 or what
he's now calling NDA Sarkar.
It's taken 24 hours for the government to be in
a way rechristened from Modi Sarkar or Modi Guarantee to
NDA Sarkar.
NDA now the buzzword effectively suggesting we are back in
the age of what is best described as a milli
Julie or coalition government that clearly is loud and clear
in terms of messaging.
We are entering a phase of a Millie Julie Sarkar,
the Prime Minister there is leaving the BJP headquarters at
this moment.
We are going to be joined by several guests over
the next hour and a half and well have more
insights to what really has happened on this remarkably fascinating
day in Indian politics.
But just to get first reactions from you, Rajat Sethi
and Shankar Iyer, to what you heard from the Prime
Minister.
It was a most subdued speech, clearly reflecting the occasion.
But at the same time, the Prime Minister seemingly determined
that he will be there for another five years.
It lacked the usual Modi bling.
What is the Modi bling?
You know when he speaks there is a certain sparkle,
there is a certain way, certain enthusiasm and you can
see the crowd responding to that.
That could be fatigue also.
Shankari has addressed 206 rallies over the last seven weeks
in extreme heat.
It could also be the result.
You think the result has has no, its a sober,
I'm saying.
Its a sober assessment of how what they will do.
Our first guest this evening is joining us now.
The young BJPMP from South Bengaluru, Tejaswi Surya joins us.
The India alliance 9 leads, nine wins in leads, 8
up from the last time.
This is the breakup of where the Congress has done
well, the NDA on the other hand, 17 seats for
the BJP, 2 for the Janta Dal.
Secular Tejaswi Surya Welcome.
I want to tell our viewers what happened in Bengaluru.
S Tejaswi Surya winning with a 2,00,000 plus lead against
Soumya Reddy of the Congress Party.
7,50,830 words.
Tejaswi Surya, welcome, Congratulations on your own win.
Your party emerging as the single largest party by far.
How does it feel?
Is it bittersweet?
The losers are feeling like winners.
The winners are feeling Kijeet na mazani aaya.
Thank you so much Rahul.
First of all, I want to thank the voters of
Bengaluru S for reposing their faith once again in BJP
in me and electing us with a very very big
margin, 2,78,000 votes, the highest in Bengaluru city at this
time.
This shows the incredible faith that they have in the
Prime Ministers leadership and in the transformatory ability of the
BJP.
Rahul, we had huge expectations.
It is but natural to feel a little disappointed when
we have not met the expectations.
But what is ludicrous is the way the Congress party
is celebrating their loss.
Its a fact that Narendra Modi has been elected as
the countries Prime Minister for the third consecutive time from
1962.
After Nehru, there has not been a single individual including
people from the Gandhi dynasty who have matched this feat.
Its Narendra Modi who has risen from nothing, who has
equalled Jawaharlal Nehru record and has emerged as the most
popular leader democratically elected in the world.
Even if you take the vote share of the NDA,
we have increased our vote share compared to 2019.
The total number of votes that the BJP LED coalition
has got is definitely higher compared to what we had
in 2019.
In the South of India, we have performed exceedingly well.
In Odissa, we are forming our government.
In Andhra Pradesh, we are forming our government.
Even in Karnataka.
In seats like Bengaluru Rural, which was touted to be
the stronghold of the Congress party, we have one with
a 2,60,000 margin.
This is I think the big takeaways for me.
There are a question which I'm sure we all will.
I think Tejaswi is being pretty honest in his assessment
saying there is some disappointment but there are plus points
as well.
But Tejaswi Surya will be therefore see a very different
BJP in your view.
Now that we have been told its an NDA Sarkar,
until now it was a BJP Sarkar with the allies
playing a marginal role.
Now the roles could get reversed because you are dependent
on some of these allies.
Will that change?
You believe the style of functioning of this government?
Be more consensual, be more accommodating.
The BJP has always been consensual.
The BJP has always been accommodative and the BJPS credo
has always been nation first.
That's our DNA.
So whether its a full majority BJP LED government or
whether it is, you know a coalition of the NDA,
the very DNA of the NDA has been to place
nation first.
That's the credo, that's the DNA of the BJP.
And we have seen 10 years of Narendra Modi LED
transformation in the country.
And I can assure you, the third term of Narendra
Modi is going to be even more aggressive in terms
of reforms, even more aggressive in terms of our ambitions.
And we are going to work with steadfastness, with more
dedication to achieve our Sankalp of a Vixit Bharat.
How do you see?
Final question, Please do not misread this before we let
you go.
The fact is that Prime Minister Modis never had a
result which hasn't yielded a majority or a big majority.
You've never been in a situation where you had to
run a government with coalition partners.
How do you see Modi 3.0 being different from the
rampaging, all conquering Modi that we've seen over the past
10 years?
Well, if you look at the last 10 years, we
have still LED a large coalition and even in the
last few years of the NDA, two point O, Narendra
Modi two point O, the respect, the mutual respect that
we have had with our NDA partners, the way you
know, NDA has been functioning, the strength of NDA has
been growing.
I am very confident that Modi 3 point ONDA, 3
point O is going to be as effective, as transformative
as the last 10 years.
I also want to make one point here to my
friends from the Congress.
You know, somebody was telling me, looking at the way
Congress has been celebrating their defeat, you know, when a
very high performing student who generally scores 9598 in examinations,
you know, passes with first class marks is 7578%, there
is definitely some disappointment.
But for somebody like the Congress party who's consistently been
failing 1 examination after the other, even passing this time
with a 35% marks, they're celebrating in a big way.
The Congress starting from Rajiv Gandhis time has not been
able to touch hundred seats.
Even now the Congress is somewhere around 9899.
No, that's not just they did touch.
They did touch in 2009.
They went, you know, they went was their best performance
since Rajiv Gandhi.
And as a alliance, they were well over 200 at
that time.
But Tejasvi Surya, well done.
Good luck to you and to you in Bengaluru S
thank you very much for joining us.
Rahul.
There is someone who's now joining us who also had
a battle within a battle.
Yogendra Yadav was someone who stood out and said that
he believed there was no way in which the NDA
would reach 272.
In fact, he predicted the BJP between 2:40 and about
260.
And that's perhaps as close as anyone has come to
giving the NDA numbers.
And there was this battle between Prashant Kishore, who claimed
teen so far easy versus The other interesting thing is
Yogendra Yadav said originally I've given up predictions and projections.
Then he started doing it during this election.
And hats off, Professor Yadav, you've kind of hit this
one out of the park.
The pollsters who on the ground with much larger sample
surveys struggled in the end.
Yours was more anecdotally.
You are traveling, you are trying to collect with very
limited resources.
And yet you called Uttar Pradesh, right?
And in that you called the story of this election.
So many, many congratulations to you.
Tell us, what were you seeing and reading which all
these much wanted posts pollsters clearly weren't?
Thank you Rahul, thank you very much.
I don't think these things should be given that much
of an importance.
I don't think there was any battle with Prashant Kishore.
I've actually learnt a lot.
He's one of the most astute analysts of politics.
Whenever I speak to him, I learn something.
All this was media creation.
To my mind, pollsters are just post men.
They should not be made centerpiece of it.
If they get it right, they are only doing their
job.
If they don't get it right, there should be some
improvement.
When they get it right, I don't think dancing in
the studio is a very good idea.
And when they get it wrong, making someone cry in
the studio is also not a good idea.
I think all we need is to reflect on this.
And you are absolutely right Rahul.
I did not want to do Sephology.
I had given it up 12 years ago.
I don't want to do it.
I had to come in as a political activist who
saw that the tools of survey were being misused, were
being misused to hoodwink this country and in an attempt
in which all the major media channels, including yours, was
a partner.
So I as a no, but can I quarrel with
that just to say that had we put out pre
poll service, no, no, no.
But you must hear, you must hear this also.
Had it been a pre poll study you could have
said what you could have said would have been true,
that this is an attempt to influence the election.
The charge could have been applied.
This is a post poll study.
This has been put at a time when polling is
over.
There is no bearing.
I mean the only thing you get is either you
get the kudos for getting it right or you get
the brickbats for getting it wrong.
There's really nothing else at stakes.
You can't blame the media for doing a post poll
study, which is really our effort to try and understand
how the elections really unfolded.
Sir, how did you assume, Rahul, that I was Speaking
of the exit poll.
I was Speaking of the coverage by the media throughout
this campaign and when I decided to come back and
perform this role, which is about 6 months ago, about
two months ago, it was clearly not in response to
any post poll or exit poll.
You don't need to be very defensive about it.
All I'm saying is that the entire mainstream media of
this country was speaking like spokespersons of the BJP.
They were campaigning for the BJP.
They were creating a MA Hall of char SOPA more
than the BJP was doing and all the so-called election
analysis.
And remember there were lots and lots of pre poll
forecasting going on.
Everything had created this impression.
Ayega to Modi, Modi hai to mumkin hai chaar so
par I kept quiet.
I must say I was also somewhat intimidated by all
this till I travelled.
When I travelled and I saw this was complete nonsense,
then I stepped in and said all right, its my
duty.
It may have been my old role.
I don't earn my bread from this and I don't
want to be a psychologist.
And on your show I'm announcing thank you very much.
Done my duty only once.
This is not my role, I don't want to perform
it.
This is not my scene in life.
I had to do it out of this exigency.
I'm glad it was all right.
I'm glad I got the range right, but there's always
a bit of a fluke in getting it so right.
Those who got it wrong, I understand what it feels
like to make a forecast and then the whole country
to mock at you.
I don't, I, I, I, I empathize with my friends
who may have got it wrong today.
Pradeep Gupta has had a very good track record.
Its the day-to-day to remember that he's had a very
good track record.
He got it wrong.
It doesn't matter.
It happens to all of us.
What surprised me were two or three things #1 all
the channels were making more or less the same forecast.
This normally doesn't happen #2 that many channels up their
forecasts to include 40140 eleven, 411, as if to say
kitsar so partho hum kar vaidenge.
That surprised me.
And the third thing that surprised me is that channels
do not do that elementary declaration about conflict of interest.
If like I do, I come on your channel, I
say I'm a political activist who has this position in
this election and these are my assessment.
Similarly, should it not be all right for all the
pollsters to say I'm principally working for the BJP?
Sure, I'm in my capacity as a pollster doing exit
poll.
This much disclosure should be mandatory.
Its mandatory all over the world.
So instead of focusing on pollsters who should not be
the real story, and thank you very much for making
me bit of a story, but I actually don't deserve
to be the story, all we should focus is on
improving transparency in polling.
That's what we should be focusing on.
I happen to get it right.
And Rahul, the advantage I had was that I was
not burdened with numbers, as you rightly said, a bit
of episodic thing, travel.
So I was cool, I was light and I could
say these things.
Those who are carrying serious polls, they are burdened with
lot of numbers, statistical evidence, they have to deal with
it and I don't envy them.
So thank you very much.
But Yogendra Yadav in perspective, you know you, you, we,
you.
I've heard you well and I think you make some
solid arguments, particularly about the quality of polling at times
across pollsters.
There are a lot of fly by night operators who
also become pollsters who as you say, do not disclose
maybe whether they have other interests other than polling.
But what I wanted to ask you, Yogendra Yadav, was
simply this.
You know, CSTS, for example, you work there, there as
at least an academic Research Institute.
When you look at their vote share, their vote share
also to a large extent paralleled some of the findings
of some of the other pollsters.
And the sense one God is all these pollsters therefore
got something wrong when all of them go in One
Direction.
And I can only recall, for example, that famous election
in Britain where all the pollsters predicted a Neil Kinnock
Labour victory and the Conservatives won.
Something went drastically wrong with the pollsters.
What do you think went drastically wrong with pollsters included
to some extent an academic pollster like CSTS?
It doesn't give numbers, but it gave vote share.
Yogenji.
Yogenji, can you hear me?
OK, were going to try and go back to Yogendra
Yadav because I want to understand from Yogendra Yadav exactly
what he believes went wrong with the pollsters.
Why is it that directionally all these pollsters had predicted
one kind of verdict?
Its not just axis my India.
Remember several posters across the board and academic pollsters predicted
a comprehensive BJP victory.
Yes, very quickly, what I wanted to say is that
even in the future, anecdotes will still not be able
to replace proper statistics.
I mean, one survey gone wrong, one exit polls gone
wrong.
You will have to again go back to statistics.
That is where eventual Panesha will lie, better quality data,
better assessments on the ground, better service, but anecdotes will
remain anecdotes with lesser number of credibility even in the
future, you know.
But I think what the real problem and I think
Yogendra hit on it.
There are also a number of fly by night operators
who become pollsters and I think disclosure is important.
Some of them simply are not disclosing some of the
other clients that they may be working for.
And we've seen that with polling.
Some of them are just putting out numbers.
We don't even know what their raw data is.
What is the methodology?
Unless you do that kind of rigorous polling, the the
entire.
So Yogendra Yadav, you're back with us.
I want to understand whether its an academic poster like
CSTS or indeed Pradeep Gupta or some other posters.
All of them got this poll seemingly directionally wrong.
CSTS doesn't give numbers but in terms of vote share,
what do you think they got wrong?
Was it just Uttar Pradesh and the big states or
something more Rajdeep?
We don't have state wise breakup from CSTS so we
have to wait to see whether they got it right
or wrong.
But I think Fosters were making four set of mistakes.
One, there was a sampling error, which is to say
most pollsters were under sampling the voters who are likely
to have voted for India, namely voters who are poor,
who are disadvantaged, who are less articulate #2 there was
under reporting voters who were voting for BJP, for Congress
and Samajwadi Party say in a state like Uttar Pradesh,
they were unlikely to report as openly and frankly as
others.
In my own conversations, I found dozens of conversation that
began by saying BJP kudenge but after 5-7 minutes they
would open up and say Nene Savali.
Pollsters would have missed those responses.
Its in the nature of method, its not their fault.
Third, there was a under aggregation when those opinion poll
findings are reported and converted into vote share.
Many undecided voters were allotted more to BJP than to
others based on their understanding.
And finally, there was under conversion of votes into seats.
Now normally Rajdeep, all these four mistakes are made by
most pollsters.
CSDS has the best method because they don't under sample
anyone who because what they do is they draw from
random numbers from the voters list.
Most other pollsters don't do it.
But other mistakes are made by all posters all the
time.
But usually you make one error in One Direction, another
error in another direction.
Errors cancel each other out and you look out quite
good.
For example, I made today error about Bihar, but the
I underestimated Uttar Pradesh.
Both errors cancelled each other out and you think I
made a very good forecast.
This happens.
In this particular instance, all the four mistakes were stacked
one upon another and it led to what looks like
a gigant gigantic mistake.
OK, which actually is not such an extraordinary thing.
Yogendraj if we step away from dissecting the polls to
look at how you see the nature of political contestation
over the next five years change in your estimate, how
is Modi 3 point O likely to be different from
what India has seen in the past 10 years?
How is the opposition likely to be different given that
Congress is about 100?
How is the opposition likely to be different from what
we've seen over the past 10 years?
Rahul, today was a very, very big day in Indias
democracy and I can only put it in Hindi.
Aaj Tantra PE Loki Vijay Hui You know the Tantra,
the system which has been dominating that system has been.
And people have triumph once again.
And its not just a piece of rhetoric.
This happens very, very rarely.
That a political party which is in command of everything,
which has money, which has all the mainstream media, which
has the entire establishment, unfortunately even the election Commission, that
is defeated the way it is.
I heard someone talk about celebrating a defeat and I
personally thought what the Prime Minister was doing today was
exactly that.
It was celebration of it, of frankly a political defeat.
How would it impact?
No, hold on, hold on to that.
Can I, can I, can I just stop you?
No, no, one minute, one minute Yoginderji, can I just
stop you on that?
When you say that he is celebrating a political defeat,
I heard a commentator from the United Kingdom saying look,
10 years in power and you still come back.
How does it become a defeat?
Look at the gap between one and two, its still
extended.
So when you say its a political defeat and the
opposition is not celebrating a loss, what do you mean?
No Sir, not just gap between 1:00 and 2:00, the
BJP by itself is more than the entire India bloc
put together.
So Yoginderjee, when you must, when you answer this question,
you will have to keep in mind this fact that
the India alliance taken together is at 2:34 out of
the 291 that the NDA has at this moment, the
BJP by itself is 239, BJP individually 5 more than
the entire India alliance taken together.
Yogendra Yadav, thanks for the thanks for the effort Rahul,
that you have put into all this mathematics.
I have done numbers and one of the things that
I have learned from trying to do political numbers is
that political numbers make sense in the political context.
So Rajdeep, the British analyst or whoever told you after
10 years these things happened, he probably doesn't live in
India.
There's a very different context to it and all of
us know it.
Rajdeep, you know it, Rahul, you know it and everyone
of the audience knows it in this.
This was not a normal contest.
Here is a contest where in there is a stranglehold
over power, where there is in terms of money, BJP
had probably what, ten, 2000 times more money than they
were spending on this election than anyone else that they
had the entire media of this country lined up as
their spokesperson.
I think the British person may not have ever seen
it, so he may not be familiar with all these
things.
They normally in normal healthy democracies, you don't have such
survival media as we've had in this country for the
last 10 years that all the institutions of governance were
aligned and that the election Commission was playing a disgraceful
role.
They must not have seen all that.
It is in this context and the announcement of char
so par and the entire media echoing char so par
and till day before yesterday we were discussing char so
par in that context.
Getting 240, thirty seats below majority is defeat.
There is no other word for it.
I know it must be very hard to take it
for many people.
But I think its time we begin to realize Rahul,
that reality has changed.
Something has happened in the last 12 hours.
Rahul, I really want you to begin to believe these
things.
Even though you will have five more years, you're saying
even though the Prime Minister, Prime Minister Modi, we will
probably still have five more years of Prime Minister Modi,
Yogendra Yadav.
There is a difference, Rajni, between forming the government and
having a popular mandate.
Very often governments lose a popular mandate, but they still
manage to form governments.
Of course he would run a government.
I'm not saying his government is if he forms.
As of now, he has not.
And all this talk about Mr.
Modi becoming Prime Minister for the third time is absolutely
premature.
Those who know anything about legality, those who know anything
about how governments are formed, should not be saying all
this today.
They can say it the day after tomorrow when the
formality is completed.
But more importantly, yes, he would have government.
But there's something called Iqbal.
I don't know the right expression in Hindi, in English
for that.
Governments have Iqbal, they have certain legitimacy, they have certain
aura that actually gives government power to get things done.
This would be government minus Iqbal and that is where
the difference is and for that I see many positives
coming from that.
Rajdeep, if I can quickly say that number one, I
find as Rahul has anticipated opposition to be more vocal.
I expect the opposition to actually get space to speak
in the Parliament, which was not the case earlier.
I really, really expect the media to open up and
such a lovely sight it would be if the media
in this country were to start speaking.
I mean, I see many captions running on your channel
even today, which must have been designed yesterday anticipating 320
seats for the BJP.
But reality has changed.
I really hoping that media would wake up, they would
find some voice.
I do expect the judiciary also to find greater courage,
can I say, or greater attention to the letter and
spirit of Constitution, something that has been somewhat blurred over
the last few years.
I do expect democratic institutions to open up.
And above all, I expect protests, movements and resistance to
strengthen.
And that please don't get frightened.
This is the best thing that can happen to a
democracy.
And this country was born out of an Andolan.
The PM doesn't quite realize it, but Andolans becoming strong
resist democratic resistance.
Becoming strong is a lovely idea.
So today is a lovely day.
We have seen opening of democracy.
Tantra has been subdued by Lok for a moment.
Let's cherish that moment and let's hope something really good
would come out of it.
Yogendra Yadav, as I've said, I've known you for years
and I think one of the great skills you have
is bringing in various thoughts and putting it in a
very concise manner.
I appreciate you joining me.
I I can only say some of us have spoken
at some cost over the years but we will leave
that for another debate and speak about that on another
day.
I appreciate you joining us.
Thank you so much.
We've got other guests joining us at this moment, Sanju
Verma, Priyanka Chaturvedi of the Shiv Sena UBD there.
Rajya Sabha MP Abhishek Mishra is an important functionary of
the Samajwadi Party, one of the big winners today.
Let's come to each of you for quick comments.
First you Priyanka Chaturvedi, I know.
Its a big day again for the Shiv Sena UBD.
You've done very well in Maharashtra.
But picture Abhi baki hai.
Many will say that.
Look, you might have heard what Tejaswi Surya told us.
He said the opposition is celebrating a loss.
Why are you celebrating today?
Yogendra Yadav seems to be celebrating it as an activist.
Why should a party which is not going to form
a government be celebrating today?
No, I think Yogendra Yadav also explained why this becomes
a moment which was a tipping point.
The entire nation was looking at it as a tipping
point for India that in which direction would we be
heading as a nation, as a democracy which values and
its constitutional principles.
And today has been a day where people have spoken,
people have absolutely ensured that there is nothing like the
concept of absolute power which Mr.
Narendra Modi had been seeking when he spoke in the
Parliament, saying that BJP on its own would get 370
seats and along with its allies get 400 plus seats.
I think Yogendra Yadav has also beautifully put the state
of media in front of the, you know, in front
of the audience that has tuned into your show and
also spoken about how agencies were misused, manipulated.
As far as Maharashtra is concerned, you know Rajdeep, we
are coming from a space where everything was taken from
my party.
They took away my party symbol, they took away my
M PS ML as even the party name.
They had a Prime Minister attacking Uttarwala Sahib Thakri every
day by calling him Nakhli Santan and Nakhli Party, Nakhli
Shiv Sena etcetera.
We started from scratch, but what we were certain of
is the love of the people of the state.
And this love has transcended even in Uttar Pradesh, we're
seeing this with Samajwadi Party doing just so brilliantly well.
And I think that is where the checks and balances
come.
And I know I'm being very philosophical.
I'm not being political about this because this is a
day of victory of the people of this country and
people coming forward and saying that the direction you're taking
my nation towards Mr.
Modi is unacceptable to us.
OK I you know I can see what the opposition
sort of looking at the bigger picture or virtually suggesting.
Its more a day of relief dare I say then
celebration.
But before you come Sanju Varma, I know you're itching
to get in.
Let Abhishek Mishra also have a no no, but they
are the biggest party.
Come on Rajni, we have subject because Sanju Varma came
in the morning.
That's why I was going to give a morning was
actually Surya.
But look, I think its time to give equal time
to the opposition which has been waiting for its time
for a very long time, but very quickly because big
day, big day for for the Samajwadi Party in particular,
they've been one of the heroes.
But Abhishek Mishra, where does the Samajwadi Party go from
here?
Yes, you proved I think for the first time after
a decade that you're back in the game since 2012.
But where does it leave you, Abhishek Mishra?
Where does it lead the opposition?
Priyanka Chaturvedi is virtually suggesting that the people have sent
out a message.
What about the parties?
How will the opposition actually respond to this verdict now,
Rajatri, if you look at what's happened Uttar Pradesh, then
we have come almost back with a bang where I
could say that we have actually gained far more seats
as a coalition.
We are actually the majority player today with about 42
seats in in the Kitty.
We we have a lead and a edge over the
BJP in the Uttar Pradesh.
And if it was an election only in Uttar Pradesh,
then today we would be celebrating a massive victory and
a majority government today if it if the same results
came out in the same proportion and the same ratio.
But having said that, as you said, where do we
go from here?
I think not just we as a party, but this
country goes from strength to strength.
The the confidence in the democracy of this country, the
confidence in the notion of the people that they would
vote for nonpartisan parties, people who do not want to
spread hatred, people who want to spread, you know, our
lies.
People don't want to add the country to fight on
the lines of Hindus and Muslims.
I think that space is reopened in the morning, in
the morning or late last night, late last night or
in the morning, Akhilesh Yadav and all were questioning whether
you would have a free and fair counting process.
Now you all seem at least to at least accept
that the counting was free and fair.
Well, Rajni, we actually raised questions, serious questions regarding counting
even today as well.
I'm sure you realized that we had sent representatives to
meet the Election Commission because after about two, one, 2:30
PM, the counting actually dipped.
And we there's still concerns being raised within the party,
within our cader, within our leadership that you know, something
has might still have happened.
So anyway, because that's not the time where we are,
but we have raised those questions.
And its not just about today, its about the institutions
of this country, the way BJP tried to bulldoze the
institutions.
I think the country is fought back, the people have
fought back.
And the where we let 404 hundred 400, I think
people are no to that 400.
You know, the opposition is saying that the arrogance of
power has been shown its limits today.
That's their charge.
Basically.
The people have said enough of this charge so far.
This is where you are.
You're the main party.
You can run the country, but run it with more
humility, less arrogance.
Rajdeep, I heard all the panelists and I also heard
Yogendra Yadav.
You know, without wanting to sound offensive one allegation at
a time, I will counter very quickly and with facts
and not rhetoric.
Yogendra Yadav says that the media has not been doing
its job.
The word he used for the Election Commission, work that
the Election Commission has conducted itself disgracefully.
You know, I just want to tell Mister Yogendra Yadav
because I'm sure he's still watching your show.
This is the same Yogendra Yadav who said BJP will
lose Uttar Pradesh 2022, BJP will lose Uttarakhand 2022, BJP
will lose Goa 2022.
Again.
Yogendra Yadav claimed with great bravado, BJP will lose Madhya
Pradesh 2023, BJP will lose Rajasthan 2023, BJP will lose
Chhattisgarh 2023.
He got everything wrong.
So like they say, even a dysfunctional clock, it gets
the time right at least twice in a day.
So Mr.
Yogendra Yadav, you've had your moment under the sun, but
you're still worse off than a dysfunctional clock because your
average score has been pathetic.
Why make personal attacks?
He's not there.
Why?
I did not.
This is the problem.
This is the arrogance of power.
Personal attacks is what we see.
Please explain to me.
Yeah.
Please explain to me what this verdict means for the
BJP today.
Why don't you focus on that Rajdeep, You know now
today if I say don't Heckle me, you're going to
blow your top.
If Yogendra Yadav can sit on Rajdeep Sardesai show and
say that the Election Commission has done a disgraceful job
despite the fact that the Election Commission is a constitutional
body and Rajdeep Sardesai gives Yogendra Yadav a free run.
But the moment Sanju Verma says anything against Yogendra Yadav,
Rajdeep Sardesai says, oh, this is overconfidence, this is arrogance.
I told you in the morning, Uttar Pradesh results are
a big disappointment and I repeat that.
W Bengal results are a big disappointment and I repeat
that but also Rajdeep, Maharashtra, your homestead.
Maharashtra, can I finish?
I'm coming to that.
Don't second guess me.
I was coming to Maharashtra.
Please today it's your time to show some patience and
not get jumpy.
Now let me say the same Kabal which is clapping
for Samajwadi Party and rightfully so in Uttar Pradesh.
Why don't you admit that in Gujarat we retain our
bastion in terms of it being a bastion state.
Himachal Pradesh continues to be a bastion state for BJP.
Uttarakhand continues to be a bastion state for BJP.
Odisha Naveen Patnaik, wrong as Chief Minister is coming to
an end after 25 long and good years.
It has converted into BJPS bastion state.
BJP LED NDA has made Andhra Pradesh its bastion state.
But today the same Congress which is still struggling, struggling
to touch the 100 mark, is being applauded by everybody
including Yogendra Yadav.
Bhai Sahab.
BJP has won more seats standalone than Akhilesh Yadav, Mamta
Banerjee, Mahul Gandhi and MK Stalin put together.
Kiss Bhani Khushi, I have to take a break.
