00:00Hello there, this is me, Ansh Kumar Pandey, and you are watching One India English.

00:14A prominent American author had once stated that voters don't decide issues, they decide

00:19those who will decide those issues.

00:22The statement today completely captures the essence of democracy, especially if we talk

00:27of the Indian elections.

00:29With just four days remaining before the first phase of voting for the 102 seats in

00:34India, the excitement is surrounding the election campaign and it has indeed reached new heights.

00:41The candidates right now are making bold promises to tackle poverty and create a new state too,

00:47while others are also engaged in heated debates like the confrontation between the two boys

00:52of Bihar in New Delhi.

00:55Surprisingly even the Russian President Vladimir Putin has become a topic of contention in

01:00Indian elections.

01:02In this edition of Poll Perls, also known as Poll Rap, we bring you the latest updates

01:06of the Lok Sabha elections that you might have missed.

01:12Starting with none other than the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, against whom a whole

01:16alliance has been formulated also known as the India bloc.

01:20But the face of that bloc has not been decided yet.

01:24However, Rahul Gandhi, the Congress Party leader, who is most likely trying his best

01:29to lead the bloc, has came up with a new promise to end poverty in just one step.

01:35In his own words, we say it again, that paisa khata khat khata khat aata rahega aur ek

01:39jhatke mein gareebi khatam kar degi.

01:42Now in a reply, Prime Minister Modi during a rally in Pipuria, Madhya Pradesh derided

01:48Gandhi's statement to that of a royal magician, also known as a shahi jadugal.

01:54Highlighting the irony of his family's past promises, he ridiculed Gandhi's claim, questioning

02:00its sudden emergence after decades of political silence.

02:05Modi also dismissed the Congress leadership's pledge, mocking it as a comedic spectacle

02:10rather than a genuine solution for the problem.

02:13He emphasized the absurdity of Gandhi's proposal, especially considering his party's

02:18governance history over the last 70 years.

02:22The PM ridiculed the notion of a quick-fix solution to poverty, reminding the audience

02:27of empty promises made by the Congress Party over the last 70 years.

02:32He also criticized Gandhi's lack of credibility and accused him of a mockery of the poor with

02:36his unrealistic and unfounded promises.

02:41Have a look yourself what PM Modi stated.

04:11Well, it's actually a known thing and a very familiar phrase that PM Modi refers to

04:23the Congress leader as Shehzadegi, mocking him as royal connection of the Gandhi family,

04:29as the ruler of the Gandhi family.

04:31Oh yes, and talking of the Gandhi family and the Congress Party, a new fresh phase has

04:37developed in New Delhi, where Manoj Tiwari is now gearing up to contest against Congress's

04:43Kanhaiya Kumar, the well-known JNU leader, often criticized for his association with

04:49Omar Khalid.

04:50Firstly, the news, the Congress Party has nominated youth leader Kanhaiya Kumar to contest

04:57from the Northeast Delhi seat against the incumbent BJP MP, Manoj Tiwari.

05:02This decision follows a seat-sharing agreement with the Aam Aadmi Party, allowing the Congress

05:07to contest on three seats in Delhi.

05:10Kanhaiya Kumar is currently serving as the All India Congress Committee AICC in charge

05:15of the National Student Union of India NSUI, and he sees this move as a demonstration of

05:21party's strength and commitment to the electoral battle in Delhi.

05:25He has vowed to continue to fight for justice and uphold the party principles too inside

05:31Delhi.

05:32And, on the other hand, Manoj Tiwari, who is seeking a re-election for a second term

05:37as MP from Northeast Delhi, has indirectly criticized Kumar's candidacy referring him

05:42to the Tukde Tukde gang controversy.

05:45Without naming Kumar, Tiwari questioned the responsibility for those associated with such

05:50group who allegedly disrespect the country and its armed forces.

06:32For the unaware, Kanhaiya Kumar had joined Congress back in 2021 and had contested the

06:37Lok Sabha elections from Bihar's Begusarai constituency, albeit it was unsuccessful against

06:43BJP's Giriraj Singh.

06:46Coming to the next development, now as if carving Uttarakhand out of Uttar Pradesh wasn't

06:52enough for the politicians, the BSP Supremo or the BSP leader Mayawati has made yet another

06:59startling claim.

07:00The claim is, wait for it, making Western UP another state out of Uttar Pradesh.

07:07The Bahujan Samaj Party Supremo Mayawati on Saturday stated that her party will take concrete

07:13steps to make Western UP a separate state if voted to power at the centre.

07:19There has been a long-standing demand of the statehood by the people of Western Uttar Pradesh.

07:25For this, concrete steps will be taken if her government comes to power at the centre,

07:31Mayawati told The Gathering.

07:33Well, the BSP is fighting this Lok Sabha election alone and is actually not a part of the India

07:39bloc, neither of the NDA.

07:41However, 25 years ago, Uttarakhand was carved out of Uttar Pradesh as a separate state.

07:47The BSP chief also claimed that if the free and fair elections are held without voting

07:52machines and EVMs are not tampered, then the BJP will not return to power this time.

08:22Okay, now picture this, just 4 days before the voting spectacle, the spotlight is now

08:49turned towards none other than Russian President Vladimir Putin.

08:53Not as a political meddler, but as an unlikely yardstick for comparison with our own Prime

08:59Minister Narendra Modi.

09:01The NCP luminary Sharad Pawar took centre stage on Sunday drawing parallels between

09:07Modi and the Russian President Putin.

09:09Pawar, with his trademark wit, accused Modi of trading the path which has been paved by

09:16Vladimir Putin, orchestrating what he deems a gradual erosion of India's parliamentary

09:21democracy.

09:23Not one to mince words, Pawar also lambasted the BJP for its failure to deliver on the

09:28grand promises it peddled during the previous Lok Sabha elections, all while shamelessly

09:34flaunting aspirations of clinching over 400 seats in the upcoming polls.

09:38He was basically trying to criticise PM Modi's ab ki baar 400 paar remark.

09:43These statements by Pawar unfolded in Solapur district, where he conveyed a gathering at

09:49the residence of former Chief Minister Vijay Singh Mohite Patil in Akluj.

09:55Accompanied by the venerable Sushil Kumar Shinde and the coterie of MVA dignitaries,

10:00Pawar dived into the deliberations on the electoral battleground, especially the pivotal

10:05constituencies of Madha and Solapur.

10:09And at last, BJP apparently has finally decided to use security also as another main issue

10:15in the Indian elections.

10:18Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath of Uttar Pradesh has come up with a new remark.

10:22You want to hear what it is?

10:24Well, have a look at this.

10:26UP CM Yogi Adityanath addressed a meeting in UP's Muradabad on 13th April, where he

10:31attacked, opposition claiming that they have failed to act against gangsters like the BJP.

10:37Addressing the gathering, he hit out at the opposition saying that they consider their

10:42birthright to play with the people's faith.

10:44Also he lambasted that by supporting criminals, he stated and we quote, they were making mafias

10:51and criminals of their own.

10:53These people used to compromise on the security of the people, daughters and businessmen of

10:58the state.

10:59This BJP government does what it says.

11:02Today, mafias and criminals are either in jail or are rotting in hell.

11:07This kind of safety and security was only possible in BJP's government, not in the

11:11government of those who used to walk around in the guise of mafias and criminals.

11:18These were the exact words of Yogi Adityanath.

11:24Have a look what he stated.

13:08Well, indeed this election is getting pretty interesting now and let us make this very

13:16sure to you.

13:17Now as the time reaches its falling point, that is 4th of June, the result day, every

13:21other day more and more updates and politically interesting stories will come out and it will

13:27just keep getting better.
