In this editorial episode, Mr. Sujit Nair raises the question of why the Gandhis have not been arrested yet, referring to BJP's claims in 2014 about the alleged corruption of the Gandhi family. Back then, the BJP questioned how Robert Vadra, Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law, accumulated Rs. 300 crore with an initial investment of Rs. 1 lakh during an economic slowdown. Ravi Shankar Prasad, a senior BJP leader, highlighted concerns about Vadra's land deals in collaboration with Congress governments in Haryana and Rajasthan. While the BJP has not filed a case against Vadra in Rajasthan after winning the state from the Congress, Prasad emphasized that they are conducting a fair inquiry without resorting to vendetta. The BJP intensified its campaign against Vadra, releasing a booklet and a film dramatizing the allegations. Prasad criticized the Congress for not adequately responding to the accusations, urging Sonia and Rahul Gandhi to address the questions raised by the BJP. The BJP alleges that Vadra's business model involves ""kleptocratic rentiering"" through government discretionary licensing and changes in land use permissions, labeling it crony capitalism. Prasad asserted that the Gandhis should clarify Vadra's land deals and address various legal violations, including those under the Prevention of Corruption Act, the Indian Penal Code, the Registration Act, and the Companies Act. The BJP accused the Gandhi family of undermining institutions, harming honest individuals, and rewarding corruption, pointing out questionable post-retirement appointments in the Haryana Chief Minister's Office. #PMModi #AmitShah #RahulGandhi #Gandhis #Arrested #HWNews #rahulgandhi #soniagandhi #robertvadra #congress #congressparty #inc #indiannationalcongress #priyankagandhi #priyankagandhivadra #bjp #bhartiyajanataparty #narendramodi #amitshah #bjp #elections #corruption #arvindkejriwal #annahazare

00:00 Namaskar, welcome again to another episode of editorial.
00:09 Interesting headline, isn't it?
00:11 Why are the Gandhi's not yet arrested?
00:15 This is the question that I intend to ask you tonight.
00:21 Let us get right into the show.
00:25 Imagine, imagine if a person comes to you, to your company, to your office, asks you
00:34 for a job, tells you that I am a salesman and I have sold 10 crores worth of products,
00:43 10 crores worth of sales I have done in one year.
00:46 I am a champion salesman.
00:49 Give me the job.
00:52 This is what he writes in his resume and this is what he tells you in his interview.
00:57 You look at the resume, you watch him talk, you see his interview, you take his interview
01:01 and you are impressed and you give him the job.
01:09 In a month you realize that every statement he made in his resume was false.
01:17 He lied to you.
01:19 What you will do and what the law allows you to do is to call him and say that you have
01:24 misrepresented facts.
01:28 You have misrepresented facts in your resume and in your subsequent interview.
01:35 Therefore, we are going to sack you now.
01:41 You lied to us to get the job.
01:46 Is that fact?
01:47 Is that fair?
01:48 This is what you would do.
01:52 Now, why am I saying this?
01:55 I am saying this because, you see, for a salesman or a sales manager or whatever, you can sack
02:03 him if he lies to get a job or if he misrepresents facts to get a job.
02:10 You can sack him, the law allows you to do that.
02:14 But isn't it ironic that the top jobs in our country you can get by possibly misrepresenting
02:24 facts?
02:25 I will tell you what I mean by that.
02:30 But before I get into what I mean by that, I want you to see this one minute video and
02:36 then I will be back.
03:02 But before I get into what I mean by that, I want you to see this one minute video and
03:22 then I will be back.
03:46 But before I get into what I mean by that, I want you to see this one minute video and
04:16 and who has done the theft of Confident Fund?
04:18 Who has done the theft of Harshad Mehta's share market?
04:22 Who has done the theft of Hassan Ali's jail?
04:26 Who has done the theft of IPL?
04:29 Who has done the theft of LIC housing?
04:32 Who has done the theft of Madhupoda?
04:36 Who has done the theft of Fire Front Submarine?
04:40 And who has done the theft of Congress's program of one country?
04:45 Now, sir, apart from changing their names, they have no other option.
04:59 So here, the Home Minister of India, who incidentally has all the powers,
05:05 all the powers, he has police, he has ED, everything in his command.
05:11 The Home Minister of India says that I am so fed up,
05:15 I cannot count the amount of scams that the UPA government did.
05:21 He says that just before the election, that is 2023, he said it now,
05:26 and election is next year.
05:29 And you know what?
05:31 This was the same Home Minister for the last five years
05:33 and his government for the last ten years.
05:36 Rahul Gandhi is not arrested.
05:37 Sonia Gandhi, who was the UPA chairman, is not arrested.
05:40 Not arrested. She is roaming free.
05:42 Manmohan Singh is not arrested. He is roaming free.
05:45 Majority of the ministers were not arrested except for P. Chidambaram.
05:49 Majority of the ministers were not arrested.
05:51 P. Chidambaram also arrested for 100 days, left free.
05:54 So, so many corruptions where the Home Minister cannot count
05:58 and the whole BJP in a very chorus format, you know,
06:04 kind of presenting that corruption to the nation,
06:08 what are they actually telling us?
06:10 That listen, you know, so many corruptions, but you know,
06:12 unfortunately we were not efficient enough to even arrest one person
06:15 because of all these corruptions. Corruption so many.
06:18 Is that what I am supposed to believe in?
06:20 Okay. Be that as it may.
06:23 Let me talk to you about another incident.
06:26 You see, something similar happened in 2013-14.
06:30 In 2013-14, the Bharatiya Janata Party had actually released a film.
06:37 This film was called Vadra Get Rich Quick.
06:40 Vadra Get Rich Quick. This was about Robert Vadra, this one's husband, Priyanka Gandhi's husband.
06:47 And they released a film saying that Robert Vadra,
06:50 in collusion with Congress government of Haryana and Rajasthan,
06:55 looted, looted and struck major land deals and looted the state.
07:02 This was the film.
07:03 I remember people saying that Robert Vadra would be arrested immediately,
07:07 immediately once Bharatiya Janata Party comes into power.
07:10 This was 2013-2014.
07:13 I think this film was released in April 2014, if I am not mistaken.
07:17 Now, 2014, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23.
07:22 Nine years passed, Baba. Vadra is in his house.
07:26 He is enjoying himself. He is going to his club regularly.
07:30 He is having a normal life.
07:32 He is not arrested.
07:34 Now again, what do I understand?
07:36 Do I understand that, oops, it was all a mistake, it was misrepresented,
07:43 these deals actually didn't exist.
07:45 Is that what I should understand?
07:47 Or I should understand that we are not capable, we are not efficient, Baba, to catch this criminal.
07:53 He is too good, too good. We cannot catch him.
07:56 We know he has done it, but we cannot catch him.
07:59 Our government is not capable enough to catch a culprit and put him behind bars.
08:03 Is that what I am supposed to understand?
08:05 Case 2. Let's take case 3.
08:08 Case 3 is when our Prime Minister himself goes out and says that the coalition is now addicted to corruption
08:16 and instead of finding solution to end culture of graft, it stops functioning.
08:21 This is what the Prime Minister said.
08:24 He went on to say that India needs a dream team and not a dirty team in 2014
08:29 and people must decide that during the election.
08:33 This is what he said.
08:34 He said widespread corruption has destroyed the dignity of the Prime Minister's post
08:39 since people below him have begun indulging in more and more corruption.
08:43 This is what Mr. Modi said. All this Mr. Modi said.
08:46 2014.
08:48 2023.
08:50 How many of UPA people have been put behind bars?
08:55 Has Manmohan Singh been put behind bars?
08:58 You say all these people, all this happened under Mr. Manmohan Singh's watch.
09:04 All this happened under his watch.
09:06 So why is he not arrested?
09:08 Why is he not booked? Why is he roaming free?
09:11 He should be arrested, no?
09:13 Sonia Gandhi was the UPA convener. Why is she not arrested?
09:16 Rahul Gandhi. Why is he not arrested?
09:19 So, again, question remains.
09:23 Should I assume that this was misrepresented?
09:27 Or should I assume that we are incapable, inefficient to arrest a culprit?
09:34 We have no ways, means, methods to arrest a culprit who has looted the country.
09:39 Should I assume that?
09:40 Which one of these two should I assume?
09:42 Let's go further.
09:43 You see, it's not just about Bharatiya Janata Party.
09:48 Do you remember a gentleman called Anna Hazare?
09:52 Anna Hazare used to wear those, you know, those clothes and all.
09:55 He used to wear those topi-opi and all, and you know, with 'Main Bhi Anna' and all that.
09:59 You remember that Anna Hazare story?
10:01 And his partner, Mr. Arvind Kejriwal, you remember that story?
10:05 You know, he used to be, he used to kind of pose like Gandhi, and he used to sit like Gandhi,
10:10 and he claimed to, you know, give up food, to do dharna, to hunger strike.
10:17 You know, he claimed all that.
10:18 Mounvrat.
10:19 Mounvrat story, we heard what happened in his Mounvrat.
10:23 In fact, do watch that interview with Mr. Raju Parulekar that I had.
10:28 Do watch that interview, you'll know what his Mounvrat was.
10:30 So, we heard all that, this Mounvrat and that topi, and that beautifully shot picture with
10:35 him, sitting exactly like Gandhi, and you know, all of that.
10:38 All of that branding happened.
10:40 All of that branding happened.
10:42 You know why all of this happened and crores of people and crores and crores of rupees
10:47 were spent.
10:48 Crores and crores of rupees were spent to prove UPA was a corrupt government.
10:54 To say that you need a Jan Lokpal Bill and Jan Lokpal Bill is the only solution to the
11:01 problem of India.
11:02 And, you know, BJP supported them fully.
11:05 BJP supported them fully.
11:07 LK Advani and lot of other BJP leaders had gone to show their support to Anna Hazare and
11:15 Arvind Kejriwal.
11:16 You know what is the story, the result of all this?
11:19 The result is, as of 23rd May, this report is as on 23rd May, 2023, not one single person
11:28 has been prosecuted under the Lokpal.
11:31 Not one particular person.
11:33 Not one person.
11:34 From 2014 to now, not one person is prosecuted under Lokpal.
11:40 And this was the same Lokpal Bill that Mr. Anna Hazare sat there and Mr. Arvind Kejriwal
11:47 sat there next to him with a flag, sat there.
11:50 You know, with all that shenanigans and everything.
11:52 You know, one lady cop, Miss Kiran Bedi, you know, walking around with, you know, all that
11:59 happened.
12:00 And since Rajmita has happened to make this Jan Lokpal Bill, to pull the UPA government
12:07 down, they pulled the UPA government down successfully.
12:10 They built the Bharatiya Janata Party government successfully.
12:14 Jan Lokpal also was instituted after a long time.
12:19 But finally, not one person, not one person booked under Jan Lokpal Bill.
12:24 What am I supposed to understand?
12:26 Am I supposed to understand that this Anna Hazare and his company, including Arvind Kejriwal,
12:32 put up this show purely for a political reason?
12:37 Purely for a political reason?
12:39 They misrepresented facts.
12:42 Because otherwise, Lokpal by now should have arrested thousands of people, including Sonia
12:49 Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, Manmohan Singh, the others.
12:53 Everybody should have been behind bars, including that Chidambaram, who should have also been
12:58 behind bars today.
12:59 Why are none of these people behind bars?
13:01 So, the fact is, all these cases that I presented in front of you, these are cases where these
13:10 people had come to front of you, the interviewer, with their resume and with their claims that,
13:17 you know, the current government is corrupt, elect us, make us the government so that we
13:23 can put them behind bars or we can stop corruption.
13:27 My question to you is, has corruption stopped?
13:32 My question to you is, were the people who they claimed to be corrupt way back in 2013,
13:38 2014, how many of them had gone behind bars?
13:43 My question to you then is, wasn't this misinterpretation?
13:48 And my question to you is, how fair that a peon in an office cannot misrepresent facts,
13:56 cannot misrepresent his qualification, cannot misrepresent what he has done and get a job
14:01 because he could be sacked legally, but a government can do that, a politician can do
14:09 that easily.
14:11 Nothing happens to him.
14:13 This is the question that I want to leave with you tonight.
14:17 Till I see you next time, that is Tomorrow at 10.
14:20 Namaskar.
