00:00Alright, so that was BJP's counter-attack on the charges leveled by the Congress Party
00:05and the other India Bloc leaders after the mega-rally at the Ramlila Maidan today.
00:10My colleague Piyush Mishra is with us on the story.
00:13Piyush, the counter-attack by the BJP, the BJP is clearly questioning the numbers
00:18because what was being claimed by the Congress Party time and again
00:21is that over 10 lakh people will be attending this rally, will be a part of this rally.
00:27But what the BJP is saying by posting a video showing that how the Ramlila Maidan,
00:32the 40% of the Ramlila Maidan was empty.
00:35So it is questioning the numbers, also linking it to the numbers that they have been claiming as far as
00:41SIR is concerned.
00:44Well, that's right, Anjali. BJP has also released a video in which they are claiming that the turn-off was
00:50so low.
00:51They are also saying that despite bringing together so many parties and facts,
00:57the India Bloc could not manage to gather even 10 lakh people.
01:01In Delhi, a press conference was done by BJP MP Samgit Patra,
01:05where he said that the BJP has been observing this rally organized by the India Bloc since morning
01:12and they were also listening closely to what Rahul Gandhi was saying.
01:15But in the end, BJP felt like it was a complete waste of time.
01:20At the same time, Anjali, BJP is saying that only the infiltrators are vote bankers of the India Bloc.
01:29They are just trying to create anarchy since morning.
01:32Anjali, we have also seen various statements coming in from a top leadership of Bhartyaranta Party,
01:38including BJP's national president, Nitin Lamin, where he has said that what is happening in Delhi
01:43is nothing but an attempt to create anarchy and unrest.
01:46Why? Because the opposition has faced a defeat in various states,
01:51including Bihar, West Bengal, Delhi, and various other parts of the country.
01:55And now what they are doing, they are just venting out their frustration
01:59and trying to create unrest in the country.
02:01On the other side, we have seen a rally being done by top leaders of the India Bloc,
02:06which was attended by leaders like Mamata, Bhatia, Klesha,
02:10the various others of a part of this rally,
02:13various MPs from India Bloc at parts particular.
02:16They are claiming that TELAC people had turned up,
02:19but what BJP is saying, that it was a complete plot tone.
02:24Despite so many parties coming together,
02:26they could not bring TELAC people as they were claiming.
02:31They could not put forward their agenda.
02:34They are also saying, BGP is also saying that the India Bloc
02:37is just trying to create unrest in the country.
02:40Now it remains to be seen how the opposition is going to react
02:43to this weak response which has been done by Bhatia and the party.
02:47But one thing is clear that BJP is considering
02:49today's rally of India Bloc as a flop.
02:53In fact, Piyush, Samit Patra also hit out at the claim that was made by Rahul Gandhi
02:59over the 2024 elections in which he called the elections illegal.
03:03He called the Prime Minister to be illegal.
03:05Samit Patra said, well, that makes even the leader of opposition illegal.
03:11Well, that's right.
03:12Since day one, we have seen how leaders of government and BJP leaders,
03:18they all are saying that if the appointment of a Prime Minister
03:22or Home Minister or any other constitution post is illegal,
03:25then the appointment of the leader of opposition in Lok Sabha
03:28and also the leader of opposition's appointment in Rajya Sabha,
03:31even they are illegal because even they have been made,
03:33you know, leaders according to the same process.
03:37So, they are also saying that if you think that all these things are illegal,
03:41then resign first and then we will talk later.
03:44BJP is reverting all the claims made by opposition parties point by point
03:49and that's what we are also seeing now.
03:51Samit Patra has done a press conference saying that it was a flop show,
03:55just vague allegations are being made.
03:58No evidence has been presented against the kind of claims
04:02that are being made by these parties.
04:09All right, we'll try to reestablish that connection with Piyush Mishra
04:13who's getting us the latest on the attack that have been made,
04:16the counterattack, in fact, which are being made by the BJP
04:20against the Congress Party and not just the Congress Party,
04:22against other India Bloc leaders also who addressed this mega rally today
04:27at the Ramlila Maidan in the national capital.
