00:00Look, friends, as you know, it's only a lead right now. So I think for us to start drawing
00:04conclusions and coming up with analyses is premature, both for the good news in Kashmir
00:09and the not so good news in Haryana. But we have to wait and see. I think they're saying it'll
00:14take at least an hour for some of these leads to be sorted out. I think in eight or nine seats,
00:18the BJP's lead is only by under a thousand votes. So we shouldn't really make a premature
00:24conclusion right now. My own view is that in any case, the wonderful thing about democracy is that
00:30the people decide. So when the people have fully decided, we've counted all the votes. Let's talk
00:34about it then. At the moment, they seem to be leading in the majority of the seats, which is
00:41a genuine surprise. Certainly, the entire exit poll industry must be in deep disgrace. But that's
00:47not something we can say much about right now. But honestly, let us wait for the final results
00:52and we can talk again. My own feeling is that at the moment, the signs are not what we were
00:58expecting in Haryana and are better than the India bloc was expecting in Jammu and Kashmir.
01:08I don't see how with the numbers we're seeing. But again, the same logic as in Haryana. We have
01:12to wait for the full results to be counted before we can honestly give you an objective comment.
01:18That's why I think we should wait. Look, friends, as you know, it's only a lead right now. So I
