00:00Now we come to that big point on who is best suited to lead India.
00:06And the India Today mood of the nation survey with Cvota.
00:11Very clearly, and just take a look at these numbers,
00:14Narendra Modi is still best suited to lead India at this stage.
00:18So Narendra Modi at 52%.
00:21So 52% of the respondents want Narendra Modi to lead Bharat.
00:2625%, that's where Rahul Gandhi is.
00:29Less than half of what the number of people want Narendra Modi.
00:3325% want Rahul Gandhi.
00:3652% people want Prime Minister Narendra Modi to lead the country.
00:40Point one.
00:41Point two, who after Narendra Modi is a question that often comes.
00:44Let's also take a look.
00:45Best suited to succeed, Narendra Modi has BJP's face.
00:49And that's also very interesting when you look at these numbers.
00:52Because Amit Shah, 28% of the respondents believe Union Home Minister Amit Shah
00:57is best suited for the job after Narendra Modi.
01:01And Yogi Adityanath is at 26%.
01:04So that's again very close.
01:07Union Home Minister, a little ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister.
01:10But then India, once again, according to the India Today Moore of the Nation survey,
01:16says 52% Indians want Narendra Modi to lead the nation.
01:19On to that, Piti, 52% Narendra Modi, 25% Rahul Gandhi.
01:24Is he still, once you make it Modi versus Rahul, there's still only one winner.
01:28True.
01:29And I just want to also reflect, Rajdeep, to what we were discussing earlier.
01:31You know, for Narendra Modi, if you've seen, the political theatre has always been up against
01:36a great adversary.
01:38And his charting a new course right now with what is being projected.
01:42Taking on Trump.
01:42Taking on Trump.
01:44Is perfectly cut for Narendra Modi, which will only aid in his domestic politics.
01:49And it's already happening.
01:50You can see that.
01:51And, Gansi, we do ask the two hearts question in our daily tracker.
01:55You know, between Modi and Rahul, if we're asked to, it's a direct question.
01:59And it's still, you know, when I was looking at the numbers, it was 58 Narendra Modi and
02:0530 to Rahul.
02:07So, Rahul Gandhi goes up, but only up to 30 and he goes up to 58.
02:12So, the ratio still remains 1 is to 2 as far as the numbers are concerned.
02:15And that's a substantial gap.
02:17That's a substantial gap.
02:17Very quickly, Sanjay Jha, Sanju Verma, respond to what you've just heard.
02:22Best suited to be next, Prime Minister Sanjay Jha, 52%, Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi, 25%.
02:26Is Rahul Gandhi the perfect opponent in a way?
02:29You like cricket as I do.
02:31Perfect matchup for Narendra Modi.
02:33A quick response.
02:34I think, Rajdeep, let's be clear here.
02:38People change and circumstances change.
02:41I think Rahul Gandhi is clearly reinvigorated himself.
02:44After the Bharo Joro Yatra, he came across as a moral social crusader.
02:49It had some political advantages as well.
02:51But if you look at him closely during the Bihar campaign that has already begun, I think
02:56he sounds more like a full-fledged politician.
02:59He's enjoying the interactions.
03:02He's actually making some extremely brilliant soundbites.
03:05And I think that tells you that as a politician, Rahul Gandhi feels ready today.
03:10And, you know, he's calling Narendra Modi, Narendra surrender, or, you know, accusing him
03:14directly for stealing the elections of the past, shows the belligerence that you need
03:20in politics.
03:21You've got to show the hunger that you can beat the other guy, no matter what the pollsters
03:24say.
03:25And I think things change dramatically.
03:27You're saying things change dramatically.
03:31Let me get Sanju Verma quickly.
03:32Sanju Verma, you want to quickly respond to those numbers that we just put up?
03:36Yes.
03:37You know, Rajdeep, with no offense to you.
03:39You know, I think Rahul Gandhi needs to remove, can I please, please don't heckle me, you
03:45know, you call me, I've been sitting and listening, now have the decency to listen to what I'm
03:50going to say.
03:51First and foremost, I think there are unofficial brand ambassadors of Rahul Gandhi, they are
03:56doing more damage to him than good.
03:58One of them is Rajdeep Sargei Sai.
04:00Rajdeep Sargei Sai is ever-
04:02I said he's the perfect opponent for Narendra Modi.
04:05Madam, which alternate universe are you living in?
04:07I'm not helping you, you can't make a comment about me, which is unjustified, but go ahead.
04:12You make your comment, you make your comment after I'm done with my comment.
04:16You know, you keep talking about freedom of speech, but you're the most incongruent anchor
04:20I have seen.
04:21The moment I start rattling off data, you get uncomfortable.
04:24Please don't get uncomfortable.
04:25Now keep quiet and listen.
04:27Sunne ki shakti rakko.
04:28Aray vapre.
04:29Okay?
04:30Haan, sunne ki shakti rakhiye.
04:31Rajdeep Sargei Sai.
04:32I'm saying you need to listen.
04:34You can't just keep talking all the time.
04:36Now let me speak.
04:37I'm not here to just listen to anybody's diet trip.
04:3930 seconds.
04:40First and foremost.
04:41No, not 30 seconds.
04:42I've been listening to Sandhya Jha for two minutes.
04:45First, let me make one thing very clear.
04:47Forget about fourth largest economy.
04:49Forget about fourth largest forex reserves.
04:52This is data by Niti Ayo.
04:54This is data by NASCAR.
04:5617.6 crore jobs created by the Modi government in the last 11 years.
05:02Have I ever seen media talking about it?
05:04No.
05:04This is data by NAVAR.
05:07In the last five years, average rural income is up from 8,000 rupees a month to 13,000 rupees a month, which is a 62% growth.
05:15Have I seen media talk about it?
05:17No.
05:17We were using our own indigenously built kamikaze striper drones during Operation Sindhu.
05:25We used our indigenously built surface-to-air missile Akash.
05:29We used indigenous Brahmos.
05:31We used indigenous Pinaka multi-barrel rocket launcher.
05:35Okay, ma'am.
05:38Ma'am, you're blaming the...
05:39No, your time is up.
05:40Ma'am, ma'am.
05:41I have lots of guests.
05:43Yeah, final point.
05:43Final point.
05:45Yes.
05:45Final point is when you say people are not seeing impact on the ground, I would say journalists need a reality check because 25 crore people have been uplifted from poverty.
05:57This is IMS saying it, not Sanju Verma.
05:59Why have you not asked people where are those 25 crore people who have been uplifted out of poverty?
06:04I have to go by the poll numbers.
06:06I have to go by the poll numbers.
06:08Sanju Verma, I...
06:10With due regard, ma'am, I have other guests and we should be polite to them because they are very polite to me, most of them at least.
06:17I'm sure you would also like to be.
06:18But Amitabh Tiwari...
06:19You would like to be...
06:20No, no, ma'am.
06:21Just a minute.
06:22No, no, ma'am.
06:22Audio down.
06:23Amitabh Tiwari, very quickly, very interesting number, best suited to succeed Modi as Prime Minister and others.
06:28Much talk.
06:29Mr. Modi will turn 75 next month.
06:31He's not going anywhere.
06:32But do you believe that the BJP needs Modi today more than Modi needs the BJP?
06:38Even today with the numbers that we've shown, Modi is still their USP.
06:43Amit Shah, you can't be anything or not, no one else.
06:46Clearly he is the USP because we saw the best or top achievements.
06:53The 29% which is 17% Ram Mandir and 12% Operation Sindhuur largely correspond to the core vote base of the BJP.
07:01These reasons keep on shifting.
07:04It can be, for example, Bharat, UCC, One Nation, One Election.
07:08These will keep on moving.
07:09But the 10% development, the third biggest achievement is what Modi brings to the table to the BJP.
07:17And he is clearly the distinguishing factor between the BJP and the opposition alliance currently.
07:24While it is 52 versus 25, on the opposition side, we have to see that Rahul Gandhi represents a combined sort of leadership.
07:33So there are regional leaders also like Stalin or Mahmoud Arbendazji whose numbers we might need to add
07:39to see what is the real difference between Modi and an opposition-led combined alliance.
