00:00All the numbers that were coming in, almost all of them were 99% in the same direction.
00:06What is this?
00:07The samples that are collected,
00:09what went wrong in that, what went wrong in the data,
00:11what went wrong in its interpretation,
00:12or was there something else going on behind the scenes?
00:17You are right.
00:18Look, this is not just about the exit poll.
00:21Look, it doesn't make much difference if the exit poll gives the wrong information.
00:25Because by then, the votes have already been cast.
00:27The exit poll only makes a difference in the satta market,
00:29it makes a difference in the share market.
00:31And to be honest, I had nothing to do with either of these.
00:35I mean, it doesn't matter to me.
00:38But what worried me the most was that before the elections started,
00:44two months ago, the Prime Minister blew the trumpet 400 times.
00:49And the entire media of this country started blowing the trumpet 400 times,
00:53400 times, 400 times.
00:54If Modi comes, it's Modi. If Modi is there, it's possible.
00:57I mean, as soon as people started calling him the spokesperson of Modi,
01:01and many times, I'm sorry, I felt this many times on the channels,
01:06I stopped going to these channels.
01:08I felt, why do they make a poor BJP spokesperson?
01:11The anchor himself is a BJP spokesperson, more than them.
01:13So, they blew the trumpet 400 times, 400 times.
01:17After that, so many opinion polls came before the elections.
01:20Everyone said that BJP is going to do a great performance.
01:24BJP, someone showed 320, someone showed 370, someone showed 411.
01:29So, in a nutshell, before the elections started, the atmosphere was set up
01:34that BJP has won now, only the formality is left.
01:39And then, during the entire election period, when there was a ban on opinion polls,
01:43at that time, the media released the same targets in bulk.
01:47This is a matter of debate.
01:49I think it's a small matter that the exit polls were wrong.
01:52The impression that was made in the mind of the voters before the exit polls,
01:56that BJP will come, this is very dangerous.
01:59This has caused a lot of damage.
02:01Okay.
02:02Yogendra, what was it, in your opinion, from your understanding,
02:07which BJP failed to read, or maybe miscalculated?
02:12Was it the public sentiment?
02:13Like you said, there is fever, they must have known.
02:17Whether you call it nonsense, they bit more than they could chew.
02:21Still, the figures that came out, I don't think BJP had any hope or had any hope.
02:27Where was it wrong?
02:30This happens with dictators all over the world.
02:33They think that everything can be shot.
02:37And what happens is that once you fool the public,
02:41the second time you fool them.
02:43After that, it seems that anything can be given to the public.
02:46Say 15 lakhs, the public will forget.
02:49Taken for granted.
02:52Taken for granted, sorry.
02:55Yes, you tell the public that good demonetization,
02:58give me 50 days, then hang me from the pole, the public will forget.
03:03Tell them that we will double the farmer's income,
03:07don't even answer later, the public will forget.
03:10So this complete conceit and hubris,
03:18put together, creates a situation in which
03:21undemocratic or rulers with undemocratic bent of mind
03:26tend to believe that they can spin anything around.
03:29And with media in your body,
03:31it was very easy for them to believe.
03:33What is the media?
03:34Call at 3 o'clock in the evening and spread this news.
03:36What is it in the evening?
03:37Who has the courage to speak against us?
03:39After this, the signals that are coming to you,
03:45you tell them to leave it, what difference does it make?
03:49Manage it.
03:49This is that everything can be managed.
03:53This is what happened.
03:55It can't be that BJP officials couldn't see that
03:58inflation is a question,
04:00unemployment is such a terrible problem in this country,
04:04that there is a question of inequality in the country,
04:08people are in a dilemma about the Adani issue,
04:12there is no good message coming out of arresting the Chief Ministers,
04:16there are electoral bonds, all these things are fine.
04:19But there is this ego that everything can be managed.
04:24This is the fate of the great people in the world.
04:27This is what happened with Mrs. Gandhi in 1977.
04:30This is what happened.
04:32Okay, this raises a question that
04:35the figures that have come,
04:37the kind of results that have come now,
04:39because the person you spoke to, the Prime Minister,
04:43the way he behaved, the way he managed the government,
04:48after the results of these elections,
04:50the pair, clearly said Narendra Modi and Amit Shah,
04:54and the numbers that have been collected,
04:56do you think there will be some change in their politics?
05:00Will there be some change in their methods,
05:02even if they make a government?
05:06It didn't take till last evening.
05:07Listen to their speech last evening.
05:09It seemed as if they had prepared a speech of 320 people.
05:13And even after 230 people came,
05:15they were still running the speech of 320 people.
05:17And even in that,
05:19usually, if you go to an exam,
05:22and if you get half the marks in the exam,
05:26then an ordinary person like me would not have the courage
05:29to come on TV and say,
05:31great success, thank you, the country is with me.
05:34To say all these things,
05:36you need first-class shamelessness,
05:38and a special kind of disconnect,
05:40this ego.
05:42We will manage all this.
05:44Yesterday, all the TV channels
05:46cut the Prime Minister and showed him.
05:48Till last evening,
05:50it seemed as if,
05:52look, we will manage everything.
05:54Announce it from the beginning.
05:56Look, BJP does not have a majority.
05:58The majority has not yet submitted
06:00a letter to the President.
06:02BJP's legislative party
06:04has not yet held a meeting.
06:06PM Modi has not yet been elected.
06:08And you cannot elect him without
06:10DDK and JDU.
06:12But they are announcing from there
06:14that Modi's third term has come
06:16and all this has happened.
06:18This is the part where
06:20once you run the narrative,
06:22manage it.
06:24So till last evening,
06:26we did not learn the lesson.
06:28But it is possible that
06:31after this,
06:33the attitude will change.
