00:00The work done for the travels has not been completed.
00:03If you go deeply, people will talk about it, but if you go deeply to the ground, there is no work.
00:09Neither the work has been done for the travels, nor for the middle class.
00:12The infrastructure here is being damaged.
00:15The atmosphere is ready for the elections.
00:17There is always a discussion. A lot of people come to my shop.
00:21They drink, eat and talk to each other about the elections.
00:25The atmosphere is ready.
00:2713th of November would be the day when Jharkhand would be voting for the first phase of elections.
00:32Assembly elections, all important.
00:34Hemant Soren is the guy who is the sitting Chief Minister.
00:38Whether he translates another term for himself remains to be seen.
00:42This is a busy intersection as of now at the dead of the night in the state capital of Jharkhand, Ranchi.
00:48And we are here with some late night outers who are here to get some food.
00:53The roadside food, if my cameraman can show how things percolate down here.
00:58And those who are returning home after a busy day at work, quickly catch up some food and then go ahead.
01:06We have a gentleman with us who comes from Patna, but votes here as well.
01:12Tell us, how important are the elections in Jharkhand for these areas?
01:16This is the main area of Ranchi in Jharkhand.
01:20And next to it is the HEC.
01:22I would like to brief you about the HEC.
01:25The HEC is the biggest centre in Asia.
01:28The Chandni Chowk project was built here.
01:31And the government, whichever government comes,
01:36we have a chance that BJP will come, who works on the HEC.
01:40If they work on the HEC, it will be more beneficial.
01:43And what about the work done for the tribals here?
01:48Nothing has been done for the tribals here.
01:51If you go deep into the ground, people will talk about it.
01:55But if you go deep into the ground, there is no work.
01:58Neither has work been done for the tribals, nor for the middle class.
02:01The infrastructure here is being damaged.
02:04Small things are being done.
02:06I am seeing a lot here.
02:08Sonu is also with us, whose hands are always busy making kebabs.
02:13Sonu ji, how long have you been making kebabs here?
02:15Sir, I have been here for 3 years.
02:173 years.
02:18When you started, what were your expectations?
02:21Did you choose this job?
02:23I used to live out of the country.
02:25I used to live in Dubai at that time.
02:27When I came here during the lockdown,
02:29there was no work to do.
02:31And I didn't even get a visa to go.
02:33So I thought I would do something here.
02:35So I tried and it started working.
02:37Then I got into the HEC.
02:39I have been continuing for 3 years.
02:41What are your expectations from the new government of Jharkhand?
02:44Sir, my expectation is that
02:46they should do their work and nothing else.
02:48They should not show off.
02:50They should not make promises.
02:52They should do their work perfectly.
02:54They should show what they are doing and what they are not doing.
02:56There are a lot of people who come here and make promises.
02:59But they don't do anything.
03:01My expectation from the new government is that
03:03they should do something for Jharkhand.
03:05Sonu bhai, we are seeing you
03:07as a young man.
03:09You have set up your own stall here.
03:11The government is often
03:13giving food and shelter
03:15to a lot of families
03:17for free.
03:19What do you have to say about that idea?
03:21There are a lot of Labhartis in Jharkhand.
03:23No, sir.
03:25They say one thing and do something else.
03:27There is nothing like that.
03:29Sir, we come here from the main road.
03:31For the shop.
03:33The main road is 12 km from here.
03:35But I have never heard
03:37that someone has got a house or something.
03:39There is nothing like that.
03:41Okay.
03:43When you feed kebabs
03:45to the people of Jharkhand,
03:47especially the people of Ranchi,
03:49a lot of people talk about the elections.
03:51Do you feel that the atmosphere is good
03:53or is it cold?
03:55The atmosphere is good for the elections.
03:57There is always discussion.
03:59A lot of people come to my shop
04:01and drink and eat.
04:03The atmosphere is good for the elections.
04:05I am from Maharashtra.
04:07Have you come to Jharkhand before?
04:09No, I am from Jharkhand.
04:11I don't live here.
04:13What will be better than meeting you?
04:15After this trip,
04:17we are going to Maharashtra
04:19because there is an election on 20th.
04:21Do you feel that the Mahayati government
04:23has done a good job
04:25since it came to power?
04:27It is true that the Mahayati government
04:29has done a good job.
04:32But it has not done a good job
04:34for the poor.
04:36It has done a good job
04:38for the rich.
04:40The rich people are flourishing
04:42and the poor people
04:44like the industrialists
04:46or the people
04:48who do business
04:50are going down.
04:52The development
04:54of the poor
04:56is not happening.
04:58When you come to Jharkhand
05:00for Chhat Pooja
05:02every year,
05:04do you see any change?
05:06Yes, there is a lot of change.
05:08The government
05:10has brought a lot of change.
05:14The roads,
05:16the hospitality
05:18of the people
05:20have improved a lot.
05:22There has been a lot of change
05:24and development.
05:26You are from Maharashtra
05:28and I am from Ranchi.
05:32As the promises
05:34could be a smokescreen
05:36that is also covering us here
05:38we will have to wait and watch
05:40how Jharkhand votes
05:42for the two phased elections
05:44and the results will be out on 23rd.
05:46You can watch all the live coverage
05:48on One India.
