00:00In fact, I was just talking to some Punjabi colleagues in Karnal,
00:29there is a lot of talk of Hindu interest, but there is also a lot of talk of political issues.
00:38The Lok Sabha elections have put pressure on the central government, the ruling party.
00:51So what do you think, should there be an issue of community in the elections?
01:01Or should the focus be on the politics of issues for Karnal?
01:05Our focus in Karnal is that for the last 10 years, we have had two Chief Ministers.
01:13For the last 10 years, Manohlal Khattar was the CM, then Naib Singh Saini came.
01:17And the people of Karnal got the Chief Minister, but they did not get their MLA.
01:23A common man has some small work, some development work, something else.
01:29So they could not reach them.
01:32And in Karnal, as a CM city, no development, no big project, no big work, nothing happened.
01:40Ten years before that, I was the MLA.
01:43At that time, Kalpana Chawla Medical College was given to us.
01:47And we did a lot of improvement in colleges, we got good teachers, lecturers.
01:53And we brought a lot of professional courses for children.
01:57It is a small town, so they can stand on their own feet.
02:01And we tried to strengthen a lot of infrastructure.
02:04But in the last 10 years, neither did the infrastructure of Karnal city become strong,
02:10no big project came, they made gates everywhere in Karnal.
02:14And all their concentration was on those gates.
02:18And there is so much unemployment in our Haryana.
02:23There is so much unemployment that our children of Haryana, our children of Karnal,
02:28someone sold their house through a donkey, someone sold their land and went abroad.
02:36So today, our issue here is about development, employment of young people.
02:41And our legal system is so bad that there is security outside the homes of at least 10 people in Karnal.
02:51Because they are getting ransom calls.
02:54So your announcement is about development.
02:56Our announcement is about development.
03:00Congress's hand is with the poor, with the women.
03:04And for the young people, our government, sorry, our party, our manifesto,
03:11we have 2 lakh jobs.
03:13In the last government, what happened to them?
03:15They used to get jobs, the children used to do interviews, the papers used to get leaked,
03:19and then they used to stop there and there.
03:22So now our government will come, we will give employment to the children,
03:26and we will free Haryana from drugs.
03:29You talked about women's issues.
03:31So in terms of women's issues, what is the current situation on the ground?
03:37What do you think about this?
03:39I mean, what should women do from a new perspective?
03:41For women, we should do something like this.
03:44First of all, we want that the poor,
03:48see, the rich go to private schools, go to good universities, go abroad, get jobs.
03:54The children of the poor, in our schools, for the last 10 years,
03:58in our schools, there have been no new teachers.
04:01The infrastructure of our schools is not strong.
04:05We should bring new projects for the children,
04:11so that we can take professional courses in the future.
04:15We want to do something like this for the children.
04:18We want to bring the best teachers for them,
04:21so that good teachers come, good teachers come.
04:23There has been no recruitment.
04:24The teachers who are going now, either they are guest teachers,
04:27or they are doing it through the Kaushal Yojana.
04:30Not unmarried.
04:31For women, our common women who do not have a pension,
04:35the government will give them Rs 2,000 every month,
04:38so that they can at least spend some money on themselves.
04:43The gas cylinder, which is so expensive, we will do it for Rs 500.
04:46And our elderly pension, or widow pension, will be Rs 6,000.
