00:00Now, amid the MLC poll rout, the Congress also has come out to mock the BJP.
00:06Over what? Well, it's the Varanasi loss of the BJP, where Samajwadi Party came out to win over the BJP.
00:15Congress's Khera says Modi lost MLC polls from his own seat.
00:19Remember, Varanasi, Kashi, is the Prime Minister's own seat.
00:26And this is the parliamentary seat that we are speaking of, of course.
00:30So now the Congress has been upping their ante that, yes, we have our losses and we will take care
00:35of that.
00:36But what about the BJP and their losses?
00:38And in fact, over the day, as the day progresses, we might see similar accounts or remarks being made by
00:46the Congress leaders with regards to the Nagpur seat as well.
00:49Because that was also a bastion for the BJP.
00:52Well, Khera comes out to say, coming back to Varanasi, Khera comes out to say that BJP lost the RSS
00:57bastion, Nagpur too.
00:59And Modi says, guess how many seats Congress won?
01:02Congress retorts, guess who won Nagpur?
01:05Modi mocks Congress rout in four states in ballot polls.
01:09Congress insists all polls by ballot paper only.
01:12Well, so this is the current war of words that both parties are yet again locked in over the flashpoint
01:20this time being, the MLC polls.
01:23One says, well, how many seats have you won?
01:26The other says, but what about you losing your own bastions where we, the opposition parties, have come out to
01:35retain seats or win over your candidates?
01:39And of course, the wider debate with regards to the ballot system itself.
01:43That is also a major flashpoint that we see at this table.
