00:00 The issue of elections is employment, employment of youth.
00:02 Hi, this is Avik Bhattacharya from Outlook Magazine. So, as you know that we are covering
00:13 the sixth phase, crucial sixth phase of Delhi elections. We are now currently at East Delhi
00:20 constituency. This constituency is mostly interesting because here the current MP is
00:26 Gautam Gambhir who has not been given tickets in this time and now its Aam Aadmi Party's Kuldeep
00:34 Kumar and along while Aam Aadmi Party has recruited Kuldeep Kumar from East Delhi, BJP has
00:43 nominated Harsh Malhotra. So, this constituency has some significance because in 2019 when polling
00:53 happened over here, then Congress and Aam Aadmi Party didn't have an alliance and even interestingly
01:00 when the MCD elections happened, then Congress actually won these elections in this region and
01:07 it was Aam Aadmi Party failed to garner much support. But whenever it comes to Assam election,
01:12 Aam Anathullah Khan secured his victory. So, but now on the ground we can see that Congress and
01:19 Aam Aadmi Party are fighting together. There are people we can ask a few of them who are like you
