Rahul Gandhi launched one of his fiercest attacks yet on the Modi government, accusing it of everything from “vote chori” (vote theft) to fostering a dictatorial regime. Gandhi also targeted the controversy surrounding Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, alleging his unexplained absence during a crucial session symbolized the erosion of democratic accountability.
00:00We are going back to medieval times when the king could just remove anybody at will.
00:06He doesn't like your face, so he tells E.D. put a case and then democratically elected person is wiped out within 30 days.
00:15This is new.
00:17Where is the old vice president gone?
00:20There's a story about why he's in hiding.
00:23Why he, the vice president of India, is in a situation where he cannot say a word.
00:29One word and has to hide.
00:59Ramad Vashir ji, Sanjay Singh ji, leaders of the India Alliance and all fellow members of parliament, I'd like to welcome all of you here.
01:11There is a war going on, fight going on between those that are attacking the constitution and those that are defending the constitution.
01:30It's clear cut now.
01:33One side, people who are protecting the constitution and who are sitting in this room.
01:42And on the other side, people who are protecting the constitution, are the Prime Minister Amit Shah ji.
01:54I was sitting here just now, and I was thinking, what can I say about Sudarshan Red Division.
02:06And there are quite a few things that can be said, decades of judicial and legal experience.
02:13Champion of constitutional values.
02:14Champion of constitutional values.
02:16And as is quite apparent, popular, a lone party knows.
02:20Every single party, oppositional party has unanimously supported Red Division.
02:29He worked on the Telangana Caste Census, helped in the Telangana Caste Census, helped craft a vision of social justice for Telangana Caste Census.
02:44But as I was thinking, what to say, I looked, I happened to look inside his pocket, sitting next to me.
02:56And inside his pocket, there was a constitution of India.
02:59I'm saying that, okay, now he is carrying the constitution of India with him everywhere.
03:07Now, when we are making a judgement about political people, there are two things.
03:14Number one is, ideologically, is he on the correct path?
03:19And number two is, is he an astute person?
03:24Is he a sharp person?
03:27So, I looked, I must have looked for one second.
03:30And after about five minutes, he said to me, you know, Rahul, I have been carrying the constitution in my pocket for 52 years.
03:43And then I said, but why are you carrying this for 52 years?
03:48We have only started carrying it once the BJP has started attacking us, attacking the constitution.
03:55It has become very important to us.
03:58We carry it with us.
03:59We defend it.
04:00It defends us.
04:01Why do you carry it?
04:04And he said, because you know, in any conversation that you have, legal conversation, the constitution has the final answer.
04:17And so, he is an astute person, sharp person, observant person, and he is ideologically aligned person.
04:30There is a lot of action going on.
04:32You must have heard, I am sure all of you have heard, of the new bill that the BJP is proposing.
04:40We are going back to medieval times when the king could just remove anybody at will.
04:48There is no concept of what an elected person is.
04:51He doesn't like your face, so he tells ED, put a case, and then democratically elected person is wiped out within 30 days.
05:02This is new.
05:03Also, let's not forget why we are electing a new vice president.
05:13Just yesterday I was having a conversation with somebody and I said, you know, where is the old vice president gone?
05:21He is gone.
05:29So, it has become like, you know, like those Agatha Christie books.
05:36The day the vice president was, well, resigned, I think Venugopal ji called me and said, you know, vice president is gone.
05:49There is a big story about why he resigned.
05:53Some of you might know it.
05:55Some of you might not know it.
05:57But there is a story behind it.
05:59And then there is a story about why he is in hiding.
06:02Why he, the vice president of India, is in a situation where he cannot say a word, one word, and has to hide.
06:17Everybody knows it.
06:20Suddenly, the person who used to burst forth in Rajya Sabha has gone silent, completely silent.
06:31So, this is the times we are living in.
06:34There is also a wonderful spark, which is, I can see, there is a fire that is starting in Bihar.
06:44And you will see, I am inviting all the senior leaders to come and see this fire because it is catching fire.
06:51It means that he is here, he is going to stop and see the people.
06:55The people in the mind of the day, the people who are dying, four years old, four years old, four years old, four years old, four years old, four years old.
07:08because this country is a very fast and fast and now it is starting to get started
07:18it was their thinking that I bought the city, the Haryana, the Bihar, the Bengal, the Assam, the Assam
07:29foreign
07:53foreign
07:57So we have to accept that it is the duty of the opposition now and duty of all the senior
08:11leaders sitting here to provide an alternative vision, alternative idea of India than the
08:22one they provide.
08:23This is a big responsibility.
08:25It is not the same responsibility we had 10 years ago or 15 years ago because the system
08:32was in place.
08:33Now the system is gone and we have the wisdom here on this table, senior most people representing
08:44each state, each language, each culture of this country and we should be very proud of
08:49the leadership capability that we have.
08:56Sudarshan Redding, I am confident that he will fight an extremely solid election and the
09:04nation will see the message that we are intending to deliver.
09:08Thank you and congratulations.
