00:00Thank you very much ladies and gentlemen. Welcome once again to the India Today South conclave here in Kochi
00:06where we are joined by a very special guest because it's often said that the Congress Party no longer throws
00:13up
00:14leaders rooted to the ground. Our guest today is a clear exception to that rule.
00:20He's a multiple times MLA, has been doing padiyatras and was a crucial element in the Congress
00:26recovering or winning in Telangana in 2023. He is now the Deputy Chief Minister of Telangana.
00:34Please welcome Bhakti Vikramarka Mallu to the show. Thank you very much sir.
00:43Sir, I want to start by asking you, you were in Delhi yesterday for a conference on Dalit rights
00:51but the dominant headline was that the Congress wants the Chief Election Commissioner's resignation
00:58and along with him you want the resignation of even the Prime Minister and Home Minister
01:03because you are saying that Gyanesh Kumar, the CEC, is a puppet of the BJP leadership.
01:11Now, what I don't understand is, or people don't understand, when the Congress wins an election
01:18like in Telangana in 2023, I don't hear you saying that the Chief Election Commission office
01:24is compromised. When you lose elections, suddenly the Congress finds everything wrong with the
01:30Election Commission. Where do you stand? Do you really believe that the Election Commission
01:34of this country, sir, is not conducting free and fair elections or are you being very selective?
01:42Thank you very much for asking me the right question.
01:48Particularly in a parliamentary democracy, a country like in India,
01:52it is the foremost duty of the Election Commission
01:55to create confidence and trust among the people of this country
02:00that they are conducting the elections without fear of bias
02:06in a fair manner.
02:09But unfortunately,
02:12we have been reading, listening
02:15and talking about the
02:16bias nature of
02:18Election Commission of India
02:20which is taking place particularly during
02:24the regime of BJP governance.
02:28The second question
02:30in the same question you asked me
02:33when the Congress
02:34getting elected, you are not pointing out.
02:38Sir, in the elections, if you see
02:40the winning and losing
02:42generally takes place between
02:44many of the seats
02:462,000 to 5,000
02:48the margin
02:49of
02:5010,000.
02:54On the name of
02:55SIR
02:57in each Assembly Constancy
03:00they are taking out so many votes
03:03more than
03:04you know
03:04nearing about
03:0540,000 to 50,000 votes
03:08and
03:09those votes are being
03:10identified
03:11those who are
03:12aligned with some
03:13particular parties.
03:15You might be asking
03:16how is it possible now
03:17in this?
03:19It is because
03:20in the social media
03:21regime
03:22it has become
03:23so easy
03:25to find out
03:26the voters
03:27of that particular
03:28constituency
03:29is aligning with whom
03:31by seeing their social media
03:33groups
03:34either
03:34WhatsApp groups
03:36or Facebook
03:37or Instagram
03:38in that particular
03:40constituency
03:41which voters
03:42are liking
03:43which leader
03:44and all that.
03:45So finally
03:47listing out
03:48those voters
03:50and making
03:51a centralized
03:52activity
03:53of asking people
03:54to file
03:55an application
03:56Form 6
03:57to delete
03:59those particular
04:00names.
04:02And this
04:03procedure
04:03it has been
04:04taking place
04:05this is what
04:06our leader
04:06Rahul Gandhi
04:07has been
04:07talking about
04:08right from
04:09the days of
04:10Bihar elections
04:10even prior to
04:11that also.
04:12But unfortunately
04:14the issue
04:16has been
04:16debating
04:16but still
04:17the election
04:18commission
04:18is not
04:19getting geared
04:20up to be
04:21seen at least
04:22that they are
04:23fair
04:23and frank
04:25and
04:26they are not
04:27trying to create
04:27the trust
04:28that they are
04:28going unbiased
04:29election.
04:30But what
04:31happens when
04:31you win?
04:32You all won
04:32in Kerala
04:33for example
04:33we are in Kerala
04:34you won the election
04:35you won in
04:36Telangana
04:36Our winning
04:37that's what I
04:38told you
04:38our winning
04:40one or two
04:41states
04:41which
04:41for example
04:43if you take
04:44out my
04:4440,000
04:45roads
04:46but still
04:47I am having
04:48the majority
04:48of 60,000
04:49so with that
04:49thin margin
04:50of 10,000
04:51I am winning
04:53otherwise
04:53I should win
04:55with 60,000
04:56margin
04:57so that is
04:59what is happening
04:59in few
05:00they are trying
05:01their level best
05:01to take it out
05:03to 30,000
05:04to 40,000
05:05roads
05:05or minimum
05:06of 25,000
05:07roads
05:07where you have
05:08an extreme
05:09margin
05:11towards
05:11particular
05:12party
05:12even after
05:13removing
05:13those 25,000
