00:00Is delimitation still on agenda?
00:03Already, the Prime Minister has made a very clear-cut commitment to the women of this nation
00:08that women's reservation and the commitment given by the Parliament to the women of this country will be fulfilled.
00:19That is a commitment given by the Prime Minister.
00:21We will leave the parties to our own ideas. This is the process of Pradhan Mantri.
00:27So based on that, we are working.
00:30I hope you understand with that.
00:31No, I understand. So that means you are working.
00:33But then why can't reservation be given on the current strength of the House, which is 543?
00:38Why must we have delimitation or anything else?
00:41You must have read 2003 delimitation, that provision there.
00:46Delimitation, women's reservation.
00:48We call the women's reservation as Nari Shakti Vandan Adenyam.
00:54When the Nari Shakti Vandan Adenyam was passed in 2023,
00:58you read the provision.
01:01This will be implemented on the basis of delimitation conducted after 2026,
01:08the census available there.
01:12So it's written in that.
01:13So why did you not say it?
01:15But why are we saying that we are saying that you are doing it on 543?
01:19We cannot do it. I have told you.
01:212003.
01:22That reservation has been linked to the reservation already.
01:26That is happening.
01:26The reservation is tied up with the census.
01:30Delimitation is done.
01:31Then we will give it.
01:32We are not saying it is in 2023.
01:35It's been written.
01:37Let me, on the sideline of it,
01:39you seem to have a decent working relationship with Rahul Gandhi,
01:44at least as parliamentary affairs.
01:45No, with everybody.
01:46Rahul Gandhi ji and everybody.
01:47Everybody.
01:48I have no problem with any colleague.
01:50We are all colleagues.
01:52And it seems like that as well.
01:54You also had a really fun inter, you know,
01:56change with Rahul Gandhi where you asked him about working out.
01:59And tell me if it's true.
02:00And he said, you come home and you work out with me.
02:02Rahul Gandhi ji is a very interesting person.
02:06Private, we had, you know, besides politics also,
02:10we had discussed about...
02:11You have fitness in common.
02:11Yes.
02:12So, that is not a problem.
02:13We are not.
02:14I have said that we are not enemies.
02:19We are just political rivals.
02:21And as a parliamentary affairs minister,
02:24it is my duty to reach out to the opposition.
02:27So, sometimes we talk about Rahul ji and talk about it.
02:31So, this is my duty.
02:34If the government doesn't talk about its own opposition,
02:37then who will do it?
02:39But if they don't believe it,
02:40then I get a shame.
02:42I agree.
02:42I need to believe that I have so much effort.
02:44I need to believe that my effort is too much.
02:46I need to believe that I have so much effort
02:48to talk about the opposition people.
02:50They need to believe that they have to look at it.
02:52They don't listen to me.
02:54Who out of the opposition listens to you most?
02:58Who you think that he is a reasonable person?
03:00You need to talk about it.
03:01You need to talk about it.
03:02Achilles, I remember that it is very interesting.
03:04Interesting.
03:04Yes.
03:05And when we get to know,
03:07Achilles ji, when I talk about it,
03:09I say,
03:10No, no, no, no.
03:10We'll do it.
03:11We'll do it.
03:11No, no.
03:11We'll do it.
03:12We're all in the same place.
03:13So, very positive.
03:15Yes.
03:15And when we don't believe it,
03:17then we'll probably switch off the phone
03:18and we'll go to the phone.
03:23So, on the face of it,
03:55He's always very amiable.
