00:00Jan Nayak Karpuri Thakur was the messiah of the poor,
00:04he was considered a symbol of honesty and duty-boundness.
00:09The example that Jan Nayak set in politics is still in people's hearts.
00:16From 1952 to 1957-62, Kaluya was not able to do anything.
00:23In 1964, he was elected as a member of the Socialist Party,
00:28and in 1965-67, he contested the elections.
00:32You know that Mahayana Prasad becomes the Chief Minister and Karpuri Thakur becomes the Chief Minister.
00:37Karpuri Thakur brought the ideals of Karpuri Thakur to fruition.
00:44He used to say that if we get 5 leaders like Karpuri Thakur,
00:48then he will change the country.
00:50There is an anecdote from his childhood.
00:53Karpuri Thakur used to come to his village Pitonjia,
00:56which is now known as Karpuri Gramokal.
00:59There, there was a teacher named Raja Guruji.
01:03He used to come from the Savarna caste and teach the Savarnas.
01:06He wanted to be taught by Karpuri Thakur,
01:08when he was in the primary class.
01:11When he used to come from EBC, he was not allowed.
01:16There was a social order, which he thought would be breached.
01:21But that Guru, who is a Guru, found a way.
01:26He said, I will teach in Khaliyan, and I will speak loudly.
01:31You sit behind the wall on the other side and listen to everything.
01:35Like Dronacharya was of Arjun, he taught him in that way.
01:41This was his childhood.
01:43He was not able to pay the school fees,
01:48so he used to go to the village landlord.
01:51The landlord said, I want the fees, 2 rupees.
01:54There was a price of 2 rupees in that.
01:56So he said, let's go.
01:57After making him bathe 27 buckets of water, he got the fees.
02:01And the third important thing is how he became Karpuri.
02:06His name was Kapuri.
02:08His parents had named him Kapuri.
02:10I am reading this in class 8.
02:13It is from Krishna Talkies, Samastipur.
02:16Ram Nandan Mishra is giving a speech there.
02:18He has also gone with a delegation of students.
02:21And the Freedom Movement is going on there.
02:23He gives a very auspicious speech.
02:25Karpuri Thakur gets a chance.
02:27He calls him and asks, what is your name?
02:30He says, Kapuri.
02:31He says, how can you be Kapuri?
02:33You are Karpuri, whose fragrance will spread far and wide.
02:37So since then, he has been called Karpuri.
02:39Although in his 12th certificate, Kapuri is still written.
02:43Kapuri Thakur.
02:44When he becomes Chief Minister for the first time.
02:47He becomes in between 1971 and 1971.
02:49He becomes in December 1970 and stays till June.
02:52At that time, Samastipur did not happen.
02:54At that time, it was the part of Darbhanga.
02:56At that time, his father still had hair in his business in the village.
03:01He used to shave.
03:03So the villagers called him, Gokul Thakur.
03:08He was not well.
03:10He did not go.
03:11So they forced him to come.
03:14The Darbhanga administration came to know.
03:17Then this man was caught.
03:18The matter reached Karpuri Thakur, the Chief Minister.
03:21So Karpuri Thakur's message went.
03:23There was no mobile phone in it.
03:24That you will not arrest him.
03:26He is our villager.
03:27So he said, sir, it is a question of the welfare of the entire Devpradesh.
03:31He said, how many such fathers do you save every day?
03:36Today you have come to know that you are the father of the Chief Minister, save him.
03:39So this is the cycle of time.
03:41With time, everything will be fine one day.
03:44Once there was a wedding.
03:46There was a wedding at Suraj Narayan Singh's house.
03:49He was the chief minister.
03:51So when he reaches, Ramanand Tiwari is also there on the stage.
03:57So come, come.
03:58So come, come.
03:59He never used to say Karpuri.
04:00He used to say Mr. Kapuri.
04:01Come, Mr. Kapuri.
04:02Oh, oh, your jaw is fixed.
04:05So he says with a sharp tooth.
04:07Now the work is not going to work with the jaw.
04:09So there is an assertion of OBC.
04:12So he can see your pain in these lines.
04:16Once upon a time, he had a bill of Rs. 600 in the assembly.
04:22It is about the time of the leader opposition.
04:25So to get the bill passed, they give it to the clerk.
04:30So when they go to follow up, the clerk says,
04:33what will happen with this much?
04:35Make it Rs. 1300.
04:36A little less.
04:37So he said, quietly pass the bill of whatever it is.
04:42Now I know where corruption comes from.
04:46And once it was the case that he needed some donation for the party's cards club.
04:52So he spoke to someone.
04:54So that person kept the money.
04:56So he asked him, how much do you want, Mr. Karpuri?
04:59He said, if I could get Rs. 5000, my work would have been done.
05:03That person had kept Rs. 50,000.
05:05So Mr. Karpuri's assistant said that he had kept Rs. 50,000.
05:09He said that Rs. 5000 is donation and Rs. 50,000 is bribe.
05:14This is the difference.
05:15So in this way, in the political life,
05:19Now let me tell you one thing.
05:21This is from the 70s, during the emergency period.
05:25He is roaming in Delhi.
05:27He said to a GNU professor that our money is over.
05:32We need Rs. 500.
05:34So he offers Rs. 1000.
05:36No, no, we will not take Rs. 1000.
05:38After a lot of consideration, he agreed to take Rs. 750.
05:41When someone from their caste used to come to the Jannayak
05:44and used to say that get me a job,
05:47so he used to buy a weapon and give it to that person
05:52and used to say that do the work of a barber.
05:55This is better.
