00:00Who will be the leader after winning the elections? Modi ji.
00:04Modi ji is the Prime Minister of the country. He is not going to be the Chief Minister of Delhi.
00:08Voting will take place on 5th February for the Legislative Assembly Elections.
00:11The process of nomination will be completed tomorrow.
00:13And this time, the Aam Aadmi Party has joined forces with Purn Bahumat in an effort to create a hat-trick.
00:20To talk to us about the election strategy, we have with us the Minister of the Delhi Government
00:25and the State Coordinator of the Party, Gopal Rai ji.
00:28Gopal, what strategy has the party made to create a hat-trick?
00:33The Aam Aadmi Party has only one strength.
00:37And that is the strength of its work.
00:39The Aam Aadmi Party has worked for the people of Delhi in spite of all the adverse circumstances,
00:46in spite of all the challenges, in spite of all the difficulties of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
00:55Be it electricity, water, schools, hospitals, women's movement,
00:59the pilgrimage of the elderly, the development of unauthorised colonies,
01:03the work for the people of Jhuggi Jhopdi, the work for the honour of Purvanchal,
01:08the work for the women, the work for the elderly, the work for the children.
01:13So, in every field, the work that the Aam Aadmi Party has done,
01:18we are going to the people for that work.
01:21And there is only one voice coming from the people,
01:25that we want the government of Arvind Kejriwal again.
01:29And for two years, the government has been formed twice with the full majority.
01:34Till now, the work you have done, you are coming down for the third time.
01:37Do you see any anti-incumbency in your mind, on the ground,
01:41when you are doing elections, when you are doing assemblies?
01:45Look, the expectations of the people are more.
01:50But, the way we have worked, people have faith in the fact that,
01:56the work that is going to be done in the future, if there is a party to do it,
02:00it is the Aam Aadmi Party.
02:02If there is a Chief Minister to do it, it is Arvind Kejriwal.
02:05That is why, people have faith in the Aam Aadmi Party.
02:09Because, the parties that are in front of us,
02:11the Congress Party is not in a position to form a government in Delhi.
02:16As far as the Bharatiya Janata Party is concerned,
02:19people can see that, every three times,
02:22people of the Bharatiya Janata Party win the Lok Sabha.
02:26The government is being formed three times in the centre.
02:28But, when it comes to work, the Bharatiya Janata Party becomes zero.
02:33That is why, people feel that, if we want work, we need the government of Kejriwal.
02:38This time, what is the political scenario?
02:41BJP's President has issued a single letter of resolution.
02:47This is the first time that a party has issued a resolution in one, two or three parts.
02:52Arvind Kejriwal has described it as a copy-paste of the Aam Aadmi Party manifesto.
02:57Look, the Bharatiya Janata Party is completely confused in this election.
03:02Who will be the leader after winning the election?
03:04They say, Modi Ji.
03:06Modi Ji is the Prime Minister of the country.
03:08He is not going to be the Chief Minister of Delhi.
03:10So, first of all, they do not have a leader.
03:12Secondly, what will be the policies?
03:14The Bharatiya Janata Party is completely divided about this.
03:18There is confusion.
03:19Till now, they have been abusing the free beach by drinking water.
03:23That, Kejriwal gives it for free, Kejriwal gives it for free.
03:26Now, they have to do it for free out of helplessness.
03:29So, don't you think that this is different from their ideology?
03:32When in the whole country, they have been opposing this,
03:35and here, they are free.
03:37This is different from their ideology.
03:39Why is this happening in Delhi?
03:41Have you forced them?
03:42This is the helplessness of losing.
03:45Because they feel that they cannot beat Arvind Kejriwal.
03:53And that is why, in that helplessness,
03:56they are speaking the opposite of what they used to say.
04:01That is why, the people have a question in their minds.
04:03The things that you used to oppose yesterday,
04:06even if they vote for you,
04:08this is not your ideology,
04:10the facility to vote for the people.
04:12So, after winning, you are saying such things just for the vote,
04:15under the pressure of Kejriwal.
04:16So, people feel that Kejriwal has done the work,
04:20and Kejriwal will continue to do it.
04:22So, we will stay with Kejriwal.
04:23You just said that BJP does not have a face.
04:26But, if you see the last record,
04:27they have not contested the elections with a face.
04:31Once, they defeated Kiran Bedi.
04:34But, this time,
04:36it is seen for the first time,
04:38in the hoardings of Vidhan Swachhnawaz,
04:42there is a picture of Modi Ji.
04:44There is neither Amit Shah, nor Nadda.
04:46Modi Ji is alone.
04:48And, in a way, a message is being given
04:50that this time, he is competing.
04:52So, is Modi Ji going to become the Chief Minister of Delhi?
04:55Modi Ji will not become the Chief Minister.
04:57He is the Prime Minister of the country.
04:59The people of Delhi want to know that
05:01if we win the BJP,
05:02then who will run Delhi?
05:04Who will be the Chief Minister of Delhi?
05:06Who will be the Chief Minister among the leaders of Delhi?
05:11The Bharatiya Janata Party does not have a leader
05:13to run Delhi.
05:15And, we are seeing the condition of the politicians.
05:17They do not even know.
05:19In helplessness, they started doing freebies.
05:23So, the slogan of freebies,
05:25the flag,
05:27which Kejriwal Ji raised,
05:29now, in helplessness,
05:30we have to hold on to the BJP.
05:32So, among the people,
05:33why should we choose a helpless man?
05:35Whose principle is to serve the people,
05:38to help,
05:39to provide support,
05:40to provide facilities,
05:41we will stay with him.
05:42But, BJP has also said that
05:45Arvind Kejriwal cannot become the CM here
05:48as long as this case is going on.
05:51So, can there be a new face in this matter?
05:54So, they are saying that Arvind Kejriwal is going to become the CM.
05:58They are also accepting that Arvind Kejriwal is going to become the CM.
06:02The common man is going to become the government of the party.
06:04They are accepting this much.
06:05And, as far as the matter is concerned,
06:06they even went to the court
06:07that Arvind Kejriwal should not become the CM.
06:09Did the court say that he has the right to become the CM?
06:12Arvind Kejriwal should become the CM.
06:14Congress, this time,
06:15compared to the last two elections,
06:17this time,
06:18is trying to move ahead.
06:21In what form are you seeing that?
06:23Look,
06:24there is a question in the minds of the people of Delhi.
06:27The people of Delhi need work.
06:29The work will be done by the government.
06:32Congress is very far from the fight to make a government.
06:36Today, there are zero MLAs.
06:37There are no MLAs.
06:38So, if Congress makes a government in Delhi,
06:41no one has any hope.
06:43That is why no one wants to spoil the vote.
06:45People think that we have to vote for work.
06:48We need a government that works.
06:50So, the political experts are saying that
06:52if there is a fight in Congress,
06:54the vote of the common man party will fall.
06:58You do not believe that?
07:00No, the experts are saying that
07:01the vote of the common man party will be cut by Congress.
07:05So, BJP government will be formed.
07:07This is what the experts are saying.
07:08The people of Delhi do not want the BJP government.
07:10That is why the people of Delhi will not distribute votes.
07:12Arvind Kejriwal and the common man party will vote.
07:15Congress has done a lot of freebies.
07:18So, it is one step ahead of the BJP.
07:21So, did you not have a clash
07:24in the Managing Bidhan Sabha elections
07:26like you had in the Lok Sabha elections?
07:28Look, the first thing is that
07:30the people of Delhi are fighting this election.
07:32And the people of Delhi know what we have to do.
07:38In the last two Lok Sabha elections,
07:44the BJP won seven times.
07:47And after that, in the Managing Bidhan Sabha elections,
07:51the people of Delhi have given orders
07:53to the common man party to work with great enthusiasm.
07:57The people of Delhi are again going to give orders to the common man party.
08:01Why? Because they want work.
08:03And Arvind Kejriwal and the common man party can work.
08:06There was a dent in corruption
08:09that the four leaders of the party
08:11are in jail and are out on bail.
08:14Do you think this has caused any damage?
08:17Our credibility has increased more than this among the people.
08:21Because, look, until you pass a fire test,
08:27every person is right.
08:30But you think, for two years,
08:34the agencies of the BJP searched the whole country day and night.
08:40They did not find a single person.
08:42Everyone came out of the court.
08:44So, this has increased the credibility of the people.
08:47If anything had happened, something would have been found.
08:50So, the people's trust in the leaders of the common man party
08:54has increased even more.
08:57People have understood that after so many misuse agencies,
09:01if nothing is coming out,
09:03it means that our leaders are right.
09:06You played the most important role in running the organization.
09:11After the formation of the common man party,
09:13you were given an important responsibility.
09:15Not just Delhi, but other states of the country.
09:17So, what happened this time
09:19that so many MPs lost their tickets in the election?
09:22If their work was good,
09:24if the government's work was good,
09:26then why did this happen?
09:28Every time in the elections,
09:30some people's tickets have been changed.
09:33Last time, 22 tickets were changed.
09:36This time, fewer tickets have been changed.
09:38So, the situation on the ground,
09:40because the environment of the whole of Delhi is the same,
09:43in different committees, in different situations,
09:46we took feedback from the public, we surveyed.
09:49And those who can be better candidates,
09:53in the current situation,
09:55the party decided to run the elections.
09:58So, do you think that the people of Delhi
10:00have a lot of expectations from our party government?
10:04And that's why there was a need to do this.
10:08No, there are expectations,
10:10and we have to fulfill those expectations.
10:12Three times in the third time.
10:14No, there are expectations,
10:16and we have fulfilled those expectations.
10:18And we have made our strategy for the future.
10:20Our Arvind Kejriwal ji,
10:22the party has issued its guarantees.
10:24So, the work that was done earlier will continue.
10:26In the future, we are preparing for women's rights.
10:30We are preparing for treatment for the elderly.
10:34Just like the women's journey was free,
10:36we are preparing for the same for the students.
10:39So, we are preparing for the future as well.
10:41This time, we will do better work
10:43and give it to the next government.
10:45Why should we give the last message to the voters,
10:49to the common man party?
10:51We want to say one thing.
10:54Look at the track record of all the parties.
10:58And if you feel that the parties in Delhi
11:02have done better work than you
11:04to make your life better,
11:08then the common man party has become the leader
11:10of the common man party with full power.
11:12After the Lok Sabha elections were over,
11:14you had asked a question
11:16about the future of the India-Gatwandan.
11:19You had said that our gatwandan was for the Lok Sabha elections.
11:22We will fight separately in Delhi Vidhan Sabha elections
11:25and other states.
11:27So, what do you think is the future of India-Gatwandan?
11:31India-Gatwandan was in the Lok Sabha elections.
11:34It is still in the Lok Sabha elections.
11:36In Vidhan Sabha elections,
11:38we are fighting the elections with the public.
11:40And our attempt is to make the government
11:42of the common man party in Delhi
11:44and to make the work that is going on faster.
11:47Sir, the issue of Yamuna being polluted
11:51and pollution is a big issue
11:55that is emerging in this election.
11:57But Arvind Kejriwal said yesterday
11:59in an election conference
12:01that we have not been able to do three things.
12:03This is in it and in the next five years.
12:05So, apart from this,
12:07have you made any plans
12:09or have you started any rules
12:11that we can really improve it?
12:13No, we can do it and we are doing it.
12:15Pollution has improved a lot in Delhi.
12:18In 2016, out of 365 days,
12:21only 109 days were good.
12:24It is on record.
12:26The result of the work we did
12:28is that this year we have achieved 209 days.
12:31So, we have travelled from 109 to 209 days.
12:34Our efforts will continue in the future.
12:37We have worked 70-80%.
12:41We will focus on the remaining work
12:43in the next government.
12:45Thank you very much.
12:47This was Amadi Party's state coordinator
12:50who spoke about his election issues,
12:53politics and why people should vote for him.
12:58From New Delhi,
12:59with cameraman Sandeep Kumar,
13:00I am Ashutosh Jha.
