00:00Modi is a charismatic leader who has won the hearts of many people.

00:11Indian politics, from the beginning, be it in India, be it in the Central or in Mandila,

00:29a leader, a leader is the only way to achieve victory.

00:33A charismatic leader.

00:35In India, after Nehru, Indira Gandhi was a charismatic leader.

00:42After that, Rajiv Gandhi was a charismatic leader.

00:45He was the one who had to come.

00:47His time had come and he had sacrificed himself.

00:51After that, I came to know of Vajpayee.

00:54After that, Modi.

00:56He was a charismatic leader.

00:59In Tamil Nadu, it is the same.

01:01Kamarajar, Anna, Kalingar, MGR, Jayalalithaa.

02:05They also should be strong.

02:09Opposition should be strong.

02:12Our ruling party is very strong.

02:16I expect even the opposition party also should be strong.

02:25If there is a wave, if there is a political wave, no one can stand against that political wave.

02:53Those who stand against that wave have won.
