00:00It's not a question of who lit the fire, it's a question of who gave the matches to the madman.
00:06Who gave the matches is not the issue.
00:09It is important how the matches are used.
00:14You do not have the moral clarity to call out right from wrong.
00:17Who's the Pappu now?
00:19If only Honourable Member looks back into her own backyard, she'll find Pappu in West Bengal.
00:30Honourable Member Mahua Maitra said about where one should find Pappu, who's the Pappu, where's the Pappu and so on.
00:50It was this question of where is the Pappu, who's the Pappu, who's the Pappu.
00:54Actually, if only Honourable Member looks back into her own backyard, she'll find Pappu in West Bengal.
01:04So, there's no doubt where there are wonderful schemes which can benefit common people,
01:10West Bengal sits over it, doesn't distribute it, you don't need to search anywhere else for Pappu.
01:15Who's holding the matches?
01:18This is really, I don't want to elaborate too much on it,
01:25because probably just wanted to spice the questions and the issues she raised,
01:30about which I think in different ways I've tried answering.
01:34Who gave the matches is not the issue, because democracy, people elect the leader and give it to the conservative.
01:41We don't need to undermine, we don't need to undermine the people by saying,
01:46Who gave the matches? The people gave the matches.
01:49It's important how matches are used.
01:55How matches are used.
01:59Recently, you had, at least BJP, had a fantastic victory in Gujarat.
02:05Post election, sir, what was the environment there?
02:10Peacefully, the new government came to power, was sworn in.
02:15Whereas, compare it with what happened in West Bengal post state government election.
02:35We gave light, we gave light, we gave PM farmers, we ran a clean India campaign.
02:43When you got hold of the matches, there was arson, looting, rape.
02:51You burnt our workers' houses.
02:55And on top of that, a central minister, M.O.S. Murali Dharan,
03:06his car was attacked so much that the central minister was not safe post election.
03:15So, matches, J.P. Nadda's car during the campaign,
03:21Murali's car, M.O.S.'s car, post election.
03:26So, how matches were used, we should understand, sir.
