00:00We've had a unique experience, huge learning experience for all of us.
00:082014, we witnessed a completely new election, something we've never seen before.
00:18Millions and millions and millions of dollars injected into the political system,
00:25a completely new type of campaign, a drama like we had never seen before.
00:34Electoral system that was used to close fights, coalitions, suddenly is upturned.
00:43And I would be lying if I said that the opposition was in shock.
00:49We were in shock, not for a year, not for two, we were in shock for a decade.
00:56And when a politician is faced with something like this, and you must have been faced with it,
01:04you begin to ask questions about yourself.
01:08You begin to ask questions about your party, you begin to ask questions about your ideology,
01:14you begin to ask questions about what you are doing.
01:17And so there was this crisis in Indian politics for a decade.
01:26And then suddenly, we discovered what was happening.
01:33First we sensed it, and then slowly we started to discover it.
01:41And what we discovered, and we have proven without any doubt,
01:49is that democracy was destroyed in India in 2014.
01:55I'll give you a small example.
02:01140 million people.
02:04Please listen to this number carefully.
02:07140 million people
02:14who voted
02:15in the 2024 Lok Savai election
02:23were declared
02:24as either non-existent voters
02:31or non-voters
02:36a few months ago.
02:37The question arises
02:39if 120 million voters
02:46who supposedly voted in the 2024 election
02:50approximately
02:5313% of Indian voters
02:55if the election commission has declared
02:58140 million voters
03:02illegal, illegal, non-voters
03:05then how is that election
03:08possibly legitimate?
03:13We have an example in Maharashtra
03:17we have a
03:21national election
03:22our alliance fights
03:23wins the national election
03:26three months later
03:28we are decimated
03:31we cease to exist
03:33as a political formation
03:37we cease to exist
03:39as a political formation
03:42we start looking into the details
03:44what do we find?
03:46we find
03:47that we get the exact same votes
03:52in both the elections
03:597 million new voters
04:03are magically added
04:06in 3 months
04:08and every single one of those
04:107 million voters
04:11votes for the BJP
04:12and they win the election
04:15and I can give you an example
04:16in state after state
04:18after state
04:18after state
04:20I believe
04:22that Indian democracy
04:24because of its size
04:27because of its complexity
04:30is a global public good
04:32I believe it is critical for India
04:36but I also believe
04:39that being the largest democracy in the world
04:43more than 1.5 billion people
04:46this is a
04:48global asset
04:49it is a global public good
04:51and it is important
04:52for the democratic movement
04:54on the planet
04:55that India remains
04:56a democracy
04:58and what we have found
05:01and proven
05:05is that India is actually
05:07no longer a democracy
05:08unbelievable
05:12everything
