00:00The reality is that the BJP has never stood for the people who are marginalized.
00:05The BJP and its fountainhead, the ideologue fountainhead, the RSS,
00:08have always stood against the Dalits, against the OVCs, against the tribals.
00:14The reality is that the BJP and the kind of things that they are saying,
00:19this census is happening, the caste census is likely to happen for the first time in 90 years.
00:24Caste is only spelled as C-A-S-T-E in English language.
00:27Have you seen caste census being mentioned in the Gazette notification?
00:32And the answer to that is a capital NO.
00:34N-O-N-O. It is not mentioned.
00:37On the 30th of April, we were told after the cabinet meeting, there will be a caste census.
00:41Why is caste census not explicitly mentioned in the Gazette notification?
00:46And the reason why a lot of people have doubts,
00:48the reason why a lot of people are casting aspersions, including us,
00:52is that you have a track record of lying.
00:54You have a track record of dangling a carrot and then not fulfilling your promise.
00:58This is exactly what you did with the Women's Reservation Bill.
01:00If the Women's Reservation Bill was passed with all the honesty that you claim you did,
01:04then the Women's Reservation would have been a reality in 2024.
01:07It will become a reality when the census happens, when delimitations happen, so many ifs and buts.
01:13And which is why the reality is that the leadership of Prime Minister Modi that is being touted about,
01:18he is the same person who used to say till about six months back that anybody demanding a caste census is an urban naxal.
01:26Various platforms were used by BJP spokespersons, on various TV shows the word urban naxal was used.
01:33They denied the existence of caste.
01:35Suddenly you had a change of heart because Rahul Gandhi has forced you to have that change of heart
01:40and now you want to bring about a caste census.
01:42Why not explicitly mention it in the notification?
01:45What is mentioned in the press release has no sanctity.
01:48What is mentioned in the government's gazetted notification is what holds true.
01:53In that gazetted notification, there is no word mentioned as caste.
01:56I also want to say one last thing here.
01:59Yes, there is a world of a difference between what we think and what they think.
02:04We think this country will be governed and should be run by the constitution of this country.
02:09You wanted to change the constitution.
02:10Your ancestors denied the constitution.
02:15Your ancestors abused Baba Sahib.
02:18So you have no local standard to today talk about the marginalized.
02:22The oppressed, the marginalized will have to be brought to the mainstream
02:26and the Congress party has forced you to do that.
02:30There is no going back on the caste census.
02:32You have not mentioned it explicitly in the gazetted notification
02:35and people have doubts whether you will do another U-turn.
02:39¿What are you going back on?
02:43I have no views.
02:45You have no views.
02:46Let us see if this time you are connected with other stars.
02:49You are my linked.
02:51Let us know it will receive the guerre in powiedzia.
02:55Let us know.
02:58As well as we know, the Jews, these used were the people of the Qing Command Workshop
03:00and we don't recognize thisнибудь with800,
03:03which is so important and we will follow this.
03:05We will follow this exact piece of the animation.
