00:00A Smriti Rani scathing attack, Congress must introspect on the defeat.
00:05Congress is attacking constitutional bodies, Congress is frustrated not getting support
00:09and Congress won when it did in two states, it kept quiet, but making noise when it loses.
00:17The opposition parties, remember, are gunning for the government
00:20and they are saying that now the Congress party is attacking even the constitutional body
00:26and it's unacceptable.
00:28Interestingly, Ms. Smriti Rani did not take any questions
00:32and it was a brief statement that had come in from the General Secretary of the BJP
00:37but clearly a vocal voice to target the opposition and someone, remember,
00:42who has been in a position also to take on Rahul Gandhi,
00:46having defeated him once for Uttar Pradesh.
00:49And that is where perhaps there's a vocal voice coming in to say,
00:51when they lose, they make all the noise, when they win, they are completely quiet.
00:59So we'll listen in again to a short excerpt of what Smriti Rani had said,
01:03a scathing attack on not only vote-chori issue on Election Commission
01:08but targeting especially Rahul Gandhi's leadership.
01:11Let's listen in now to Smriti Rani.
01:16The Prime Minister Rani Pradesh Rani who says,
01:23has said that the image of Narendra Modi will destroy the image of Narendra Modi.
01:31The Prime Minister Modi has said that they will attack them, they will attack them,
01:40and they will attack them against the government of Narendra Modi.
01:54The Prime Minister of Narendra Modi will attack the government of Narendra Modi.
02:09The Prime Minister Modi will attack them against the government of Narendra Modi.
02:11The Prime Minister Modi has said that the Prime Minister Modi will attack them against the government of Narendra Modi.
02:30I'm going to bring in my colleague Eswera Paliwal, closely tracking the election commission,
02:33but also the showdown that's happening between the political parties.
02:37Eswera, good afternoon. Tell me now, with the BJP also doubling down on the Congress,
02:41and stating, when you lose, you make all the noise, otherwise you're completely quiet, like for Karnatka and Himachal Pradesh.
02:46What do you think is the strategy of the government here?
02:49Why are they defending the election commission and how will they charge back at the opposition?
02:54Well, definitely, you know, Buddha, what we are seeing at the moment is the Bharatiya Jantar Party.
02:58They are saying that when the Congress party raises its voice, they should also raise it when they or their
03:03allies, in fact, win elections.
03:04But if that's not the case, the Congress always raises elections when they lose, always raises the voice when they
03:10lose elections,
03:11that is something that needs to be really looked at.
03:13And the way in which the Congress party has been flipping through the pages of history,
03:16which shows who were the CEPs when they were the ones who were in fact in power.
03:22So that is something that the Bharatiya Jantar Party plays at the moment is speaking.
03:27Tracking especially, remember, because this is one issue that's refusing to die down.
03:31The BJP is doubling down now on the Congress party.
