00:00Let's go to my guest. Anshul Avjit joins me. He's Congress's spokesperson. Sanju Verma is BJP's
00:06spokesperson. Dr. Sanjay Kumar is spokesperson JDU and Dr. Naval Kishore is spokesperson RJD. So all
00:12the four major parties, national and regional in Bihar are joining us. Appreciate all of you
00:20joining us. I want to come one by one to each of you. Anshul Avjit to you first because the real
00:25headache at the moment seems to be in the Mahagadbandan. The BJP is gone at least and
00:29announced 71 seats, including their candidates. The Congress is still having its CEC without
00:36clarity on how many seats you will contest. So there seems to be some confusion in the
00:41Mahagadbandan, which should have been settled surely days ago. It's all very last minute.
00:48This is not the real contest, whether they announced it a couple of hours earlier. And anyway, you
00:53saw, you know, the groaning and the grumbling within the NDA with tweets coming out, you
00:58know, Pindra Kishore saying that, maim Aashiana mahi banaunga jahan barish hoti hai. It's not an
01:03emphatic seal of approval in their camp either. It doesn't matter. You know, the real test,
01:08the real story is on 6th and 11th. Gadbandan politics is what it is. I mean, you said so
01:14yourself. It's not something that the Congress party or any other party is unfamiliar with.
01:19It has its due process. Yes, there have been delays. Yes, there are bottlenecks. But eventually,
01:24it will be resolved. The CEC is going on right now. I'm not going to preempt what they're going
01:29to say. But they're going to decide and conclude before the nomination's date ends. Yes, you know,
01:35I mean, I'm sure the candidates are waiting with bated breath and their levels of nervousness must be
01:41increasing. But there's no nervousness on the party on the whole. We are mature players. We've gone
01:45and seen this before. We can handle it. No, no, no. You know, you're making it sound. No,
01:51no, Anshul Avjit. Anshul Avjit, can you tell me how many seats the Congress is going to contest?
01:56Last time you contested 70. There's no clarity. You're saying I'm asking you for some clarity.
02:04Therefore, how many seats are you going to contest? The CEC is going on right now. The clarity will
02:10emerge. I am not going to second guess what they are going to say or conclude. That is why it's
02:15being held. They're empowered to make those decisions. Look, I'll tell you one thing.
02:19It's not a question of it's also a question of number of seats, because foregoing seats for the
02:24Congress or any other party, you know, means that you are compromising on your political interest.
02:29We don't want to compromise on the political interest while maintaining also the integrity of
02:36the Mahagatbandhan. That remains our primary goal. You know, there is a politics of compromise,
02:42of consensus and also a politics of sacrifice. We've done it time and again. We can do it again,
02:49but it has to be in the larger interest of the Gatbandhan. We will work accordingly and it will be
02:53resolved in a matter of hours. Okay. You're saying it will be resolved in a matter of hours. As I said,
03:03there and there Dr. Naval Kishore spokesperson RJD. Can you explain? Is it that the RJD wants now to
03:10virtually call all the shots? There is also concern that one of your allies, the VIP is even threatening
03:16to walk out of this alliance. They want more seats. This is Mukesh Sani's party. And for viewers who want
03:22to understand VIP politics, this is a party primarily of the of the Malla community, important, influential,
03:31extremely backward cast. I want to understand from you, is this Mahagatbandhan intact or not?
03:37Or is the Mahagatbandhan going to split soon? Intact hai?
03:42Rajdeep, one thing is true and fact that Mahagatbandhan is purely intact and united on one issue that we are going
03:54to throw off a government which has been destroying everything of Bihar and it is creating a situation
04:01where all kinds of migration, migration for employment, migration for education, migration for health.
04:07There is no issue of industrial development. All kinds of problems we have seen and we have already
04:14shown to the people and people have accepted that we have given jobs. Now we won't be hard to develop
04:21in a particular way where there are all kinds of problems.
04:23The fact, this is your agenda. Today's subject, we will discuss your agenda. I am asking you a basic
04:29question of your alliance. The voters of Bihar want to know whether the, if at the last moment
04:35you all are fighting for every seat with each other, how will you provide a stable government?
04:44No, Rajdeep, we are not fighting for seats. We are preparing for the best win that Bihar people will
04:50see in the time to come. And for that we have to discuss seat by seat. How can we defeat a party
04:57which is trying to manipulate mandate right from you leave apart, leave apart election commission,
05:03leave apart all kinds of agencies. They are also trying to manipulate the mandate by putting thousand
05:09rupees into the accounts of women who have seen their son unemployed, who have sent their husband,
05:17whose husband has been forced to migrate to do work in the other states and so many problems in their own
05:23life. Sixty-five percent women are anemic. So to that particular community, they wants to manipulate
05:30their bandit. They want to copy out agenda like 125 unit of electricity and all good kind of things.
05:37Okay, you are saying, you are saying manipulate.
05:39We want the people to believe that this government is trying.
05:40Nawal Kishore ji, Nawal Kishore ji, I get your point.
05:43You are saying, you are like, I'm not sure how that is, I just don't know how that is.
05:58You are saying that this government is trying to manipulate people with disabilities.
