Transcript
00:00We just saw major results changes this election, so many governments toppled, but I feel like nothing has really changed.
00:07Why?
00:08What changed? That's how the ego is. It substitutes one object for the other and finds that the other object
00:16is not dissimilar, not all that dissimilar to the first one.
00:20But some change has to be made to avoid making the real change. Where is real change needed?
00:25The real change is needed in the heart of the electorate, in the heart of the individual, the voter.
00:31But that change is not to come. Therefore, the voter keeps changing governments.
00:3715 years of Trinamul rule and something else is not there.
00:41Now again, please, when you will look at the TV screen and the big analysts and they'll all be saying
00:46it is because of misgovernance and this and that and so many things will be quoted.
00:51And demographics and the religious arithmetic and you will have all that.
00:57Now, don't take the ego so seriously.
01:01There is no need for that kind of in-depth analysis.
01:05The game simply is, you know, the voter plays with one toy and then gets bored and then switches to
01:10the next one only to get bored and something else will come in.
01:13That which you are calling as anti-incumbency is just misplaced restlessness.
01:21Nothing more than that.
01:23Is the ego getting bored of brands, of parties, of CMs, of faces? No, the ego is actually bored of
01:31itself.
01:32But it dare not replace itself.
01:36Therefore, it keeps replacing other things, including CMs and PMs.
01:40They are all replaceable.
