00:00Aiding and abetting the BJP to rig elections, naturally they are going to try to justify it.
00:08You have seen their overconfidence statements before every election, predicting exact amount of seats that they are going to get.
00:15Where are they getting that overconfidence from? The people of India are not that happy with them.
00:20You go and talk to people on the street, what do they say? Nobody is happy with them.
00:25So what you hear on the ground from people is something and what you are seeing as the election result
00:32is something else.
00:33Congress have already taken the protest to the streets, what is your immediate demand now?
00:38The immediate demand Rahul Ji made is that Mr. Gyanesh Kumar should resign.
00:44Will the India Alliance come together to protest?
00:47Of course, they are all together on this point.
00:49The India Alliance is very clear. Every single leader of the Alliance, every single party is in full agreement that
00:56what is going on is absolutely illegal.
00:59It is anti-constitutional. It is against our nation, our democracy and those who are doing it have to be
01:06taken to task.
01:07They have to be held responsible.
01:09And as I have said before, I strongly believe that the legal safeguards provided to the election commissioner, which were
01:21instituted by this government, by the BJP government, to protect him no matter what he does.
01:28Those safeguards need to be removed. If anybody is committing illegal acts against this nation, against our constitution, against India,
01:40they need to be tried for the criminal actions that they are involved in.
01:44This is treason and he needs to be tried for treason.
01:47Madam, do you think that the BJP leaders are protecting the election commissioner?
01:53Of course they are. Of course they are. What else will they do?
01:57Madam, one more thing.
01:58Of course they are.
02:00And more importantly, they are protecting the election commissioner. But more importantly, they are protecting their leadership.
02:07It is out of the question for the election commissioner to be indulging in such serious illegalities without the full
02:16support of the leadership.
02:17The leadership has supported if not asked him to do this. If not asked him.
02:24If this man, if an election commissioner is committing such a serious crime against democracy, it is practically impossible that
02:33he is doing it without the full support of the leadership.
