00:00On the other hand, right behind me, Ramlila Meidan, what you really see is a massive build-up of the
00:06Cader there.
00:07Anytime you will hear Rahul Gandhi and the other leaders of the India Alliance members speak.
00:13For the Congress and the India Alliance members, this would be heartening for them in terms of just the kind
00:19of Cader mobilization they've been able to manage,
00:22where they said that it's going to be 10 lakhs.
00:25Now, we don't quite know whether it's 10 lakhs, but what we can tell you is that Ramlila Meidan is
00:30chock-a-block and people continue to come out right now
00:34because they haven't been able to find space in Ramlila Meidan.
00:37A lot of people from, you know, regular walks of life also have joined in.
00:42We've been able to speak to quite a few of them.
00:47All right, I want to cut across right now to my colleague Kamaljeet Sandhu, who's joining us from Chandigarh.
00:52And Kamal, a short while ago, we heard the Home Minister launching an attack on Rahul Gandhi and the Congress
00:58from Chandigarh.
01:00Amit Shah, important because he's the one personally managing the BJP's campaign in poll-bound Punjab.
01:09Well, absolutely. It was a hard-hitting statement coming from the Union Home Minister, Amit Shah,
01:14saying the Congress and India bloc was insensitive to actually choose a day of 1st November,
01:19which he said was the day of martyrdom, as several Sikhs were massacred on that particular day.
01:25He said that several press conferences were done.
01:28But Rahul Gandhi, who was abroad at that point of time, reiterated that the member 1st will be the day
01:35of Delhi Chalo rally.
01:36He said that the other insensitive part was about how the traders, especially small traders,
01:43had pleaded time and again that they should not be doing this particular rally at this point of time
01:48because there is a lot of money at stake because this is when the North Indians really go out
01:54and purchase in large number, the wholesale market is impacted.
01:57So on multiple fronts, Amit Shah targeted not just Rahul Gandhi but also the India bloc.
02:03The message is loud and clear. He says reason for this particular behavior will make him lose another election,
02:11saying they've already lost three elections in the past,
02:13but Rahul Gandhi should be prepared now to sit in the opposition for the next five years.
02:17So coming in the annual Punjab polls, which is scheduled for 2027, a big message coming from the Union Home
02:24Minister.
02:25And remember, BJP has been targeting again and again saying,
02:29you know, we put those behind bars who were a part of the anti-sikh riots in 1984.
02:36And we ensured that justice would be given. We gave the compensation.
02:40Meanwhile, the Congress has only been insensitive from talking about way back when Rajiv Gandhi had made that particular statement
02:48about
02:49when a big tree shakes, the earth shakes.
02:53And this is where they says Rahul Gandhi would have been very young when that particular instance happened.
02:58But we tried to put that message across very publicly via press conferences.
03:02But meanwhile, Congress remained adamant.
03:04So in a highly charged atmosphere, where this particular rally is a show of strength for the India bloc,
03:11a big statement coming in from the Union Home Minister targeting Rahul Gandhi directly.
03:20All right. All right. Okay.
