00:07 Hi there, this is me Ansh Pandey and you're watching Pole Pulse on One India English.
00:13 As we knock into the month of May, surely the temperature outside your rooms is now
00:17 starting to heat up.
00:19 The heat waves have started to affect the pockets of India and this statement actually
00:24 stands true if we also talk about the politics, especially at the time of the Lok Sabha elections.
00:30 In today's episode of Pole Pulse, there are many major stories to be talked about.
00:35 Firstly, we will talk about how BJP gave an unexpected shocker to Congress in the poha-loving
00:41 city of Indore.
00:44 Then we will talk about how the JDS MP Prajwal Rewan has turned into a headache for the BJP-led
00:50 NDA and at last, how Telangana Congress is going to face a legal challenge.
00:57 As we delve into these stories, it's evident that the political dynamics of India is intensifying.
01:02 So without any further delay, let's dive into the day's roundup.
01:08 Starting the day with the Amit Shah's doctored video case.
01:12 The Delhi police today has filed an FIR in response to a complaint regarding the doctored
01:17 video featuring Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
01:21 The BJP asserted that the video, which was purportedly showing Shah advocating for the
01:26 abolition of the reservation for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe, is fabricated.
01:32 According to the BJP, the original footage depicted Shah discussing the elimination of
01:37 the unconstitutional 4% reservation in Telangana.
01:41 It was allegedly manipulated to falsely portray Shah as calling out as an end to reservation
01:47 during the recent Lok Sabha election rally.
01:51 Prompted by these allegations, the Delhi police reached out to X and Facebook requesting information
01:57 about the account responsible for disseminating the edited video.
02:02 Now the development is coming that Congress, IT cell members in Telangana and even CM Revan
02:07 Reddy will probably be summoned on 1st of May regarding the doctored video.
02:12 Also an arrest has been made in Assam.
02:16 The numerous social media platforms including the official handles of Congress State Unit
02:20 were sharing these videos contending that BJP is aiming to abolish the reservation.
02:26 But it is now almost confirmed and confirmed by many media outlets that no the video is
02:30 actually doctored.
02:32 Even PM Modi expressed anger about the video and he cited the misuse of technology by the
02:37 opposition members.
02:38 Take a look at what he stated.
02:59 I have already said that if Baba Ambedkar himself wants, then Baba Ambedkar can not
03:22 do it.
03:46 Up to the next story now.
03:47 A case has been filed against the Karnataka MP Prajwal Ravan who is from JDS after a row
03:53 erupted over his explicit videos showing him assaulting multiple women.
03:59 The video clips allegedly involving Prajwal Ravan surfaced on social media the day after
04:05 he voted on 26th of April in the second phase of the elections.
04:09 Prajwal Ravan is the grandson of JDS chief and former PM HD Dev Gowda.
04:15 However he has also denied any allegations and has filed a complaint claiming that the
04:19 videos are being circulated which are doctored.
04:23 The clips allegedly involving Prajwal Ravan surfaced on social media the day after he
04:28 voted in the second phase of the elections which was on 26th of April.
04:32 The Karnataka government meanwhile has now formed a special investigation team to look
04:37 into the obscene video case with Prajwal Ravan.
04:41 This was followed up after a woman filed a case against Ravan accusing him of sexual
04:45 assault.
04:47 She has been sexually abused multiple times between 2019-2022 as per the complaint.
04:54 The complainant also claimed that Prajwal Ravan misbehaved with her daughter over a
04:58 video call and had vulgar conversations with her too.
05:01 The woman alleged that Prajwal's father HD Ravan also sexually assaulted when his wife
05:07 was not at her home.
05:10 She also said that there is a threat to her life as well as other members of her family
05:14 now.
05:15 The BJP leader Devraja Gowda who was the party's candidate during the 2023 assembly election
05:22 is now claiming that even he had returned to the state president B.S Vijayendra in December
05:27 last year flagging grave allegations against the SD Dev Gowda family including Prajwal
05:32 Ravan.
05:34 But still the many members of NDA right now are silent to speak about the matter.
05:38 Even the bigwigs of Telangana, even Yadurappa.
05:42 Also when it was being articulated for almost a year that Ravanna was mired in such a serious
05:47 accusation why was no serious action taken by the party or even by the government?
05:55 In the end we talk about yet another concerning sign for the Indian National Congress.
06:00 Akshay Babu the Congress candidate for the Madhya Pradesh's Indore seat dropped out
06:04 of the race and suddenly joined BJP today.
06:08 The shocker emerged in a post by senior Madhya Pradesh BJP leader Kailash Vijay Varghia who
06:13 flaunted the candidate in a photo taken in a car.
06:18 The Congress Lok Sabha candidate from Indore Akshay Kanti Bam is welcome in BJP under the
06:23 leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Party National Leader JP Nadda, Chief Minister
06:27 Mohan Yadav and State President VD Sharma.
06:31 Mr Vijay Varghia stated in his post.
06:34 Today was the last day of nomination for Indore which votes on fourth phase of election on
06:39 13th of May and suddenly Mr Bam has resigned.
06:44 Congress had pitted a poll on debutant Bam, age 45 against the incumbent BJP MP Shankar
06:50 Lalwani in Indore which has the largest electorate in Madhya Pradesh.
06:55 The Congress chose him at the time of string of party workers including three former MLAs
06:59 had switched to BJP in Madhya Pradesh and today Bam himself is joining BJP.
07:05 The opposition party lost a candidate in Gujarat's Surat last week already following a series
07:10 of dramatic events that included disqualification of the Congress nominee and withdrawal of
07:15 eight other candidates including the BSP's pick and independence one after another on
07:20 20th of April.
07:23 On 22nd of April the BJP's Mukesh Dalal was declared unopposed winner of the Surat Lok
07:27 Sabha constituency after that.
07:30 As the Congress suffered this second setback the party's local leaders in Indore are now
07:35 expressing grave concern and disappointment and are even questioning the leadership to
07:39 decision that why they choose Mr Bam as the candidate.
07:44 This resignation saga also raises concerns about Congress party's leadership and makes
07:49 it more worrying when announced candidates decide to withdraw from the race and join
07:54 the ruling party all of a sudden.
07:57 The Congress party really needs to introspect what is wrong with the grand old party.
08:03 And so here we are in the end of today's wrap.
08:06 We hope you enjoyed this whole summary of the day.
08:09 The next phase of election is stated for 7th of May that is Tuesday and these updates makes
08:15 it very often that the heat wave until then will likely intensify more and it will intensify
08:20 to its peak on 1st of June that is the last phase of election.
08:25 So what you have to do, you have to do nothing you have to just stay tuned at One India English
08:29 for all the latest political and geopolitical updates like never before.
