00:01My colleague Moshmi Singh joins us for more details on this story.
00:04Moshni, this has become, quite frankly, the biggest burning issue in front of the government in the whole year that
00:09we have seen.
00:10The opposition has gone out all guns in placing.
00:13We haven't had a word from the government yet, but what we do hear is a response from the BJP.
00:19What, in your opinion, is the strategy of the BJP at the moment?
00:23Will we hear a version from them at all, especially that the chief secretary has been mentioned himself?
00:31So, you know, there's a mention of the cabinet secretary, and we've heard the BJP slam the opposition saying this

01:00commission.
01:01I see that this political war is only going to escalate on the streets.
01:06We've seen a protest by the Youth Congress and other wings.
01:09I also see a battle being fought in the courts, a legal battle being fought.

01:24one of the very frontal attacks on not only the CEC,
01:28but, you know, get Amit Shah and Prime Minister Modi in the radar of the entire attack saying that Gyanesh
01:36Kumar is only doing what the G2 are saying.
01:40All right, Mahshmi Singh there talking to us about how further there will be an attack escalated by the opposition.
